Throwdown Lowdown – Bruins @ Blues, 02-22-12
Well, ain’t that a kick in the balls? The St. Louis Blues seemed to be on a roll going into the third period, holding a slim lead on the recently-struggling Chicago Blackhawks, but two even-strength goals and one empty-netter later, the happy balloon was popped. Yes, the Hawks were able to beat the Blues 3-1...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 02-19-12
That seemed easy, yet difficult. The St. Louis Blues easily handled a team in full free-fall mode, dominating the Minnesota Wild 4-0 in a game where a frustrated Wild team decided to resort to cheap tactics against a team they will not play again this year. Being that it appears the Wild will fall outside...
Throwdown Lowdown – Wild @ Blues, 02-18-12
That was a nice little bounce-back game, I’d say. You could say the St. Louis Blues were playing a weakened New York Islanders team, and I would probably agree with that (top goaltender Evgeni Nabokov could not play due to illness), but a 5-1 win over a team in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference...
Throwdown Lowdown – Islanders @ Blues, 02-16-12
And . . . thud. The St. Louis Blues had every opportunity to extend the winning streak to five games against the Central cellar-dwelling Columbus Blue Jackets, but just never capitalized on opportunities given and overall played very sloppily in a 2-1 loss in Ohio’s capital on Tuesday night. Derek Dorsett, who acted like an...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 02-14-12
Why not the St. Louis Blues. This team is white hot of late, thanks to some luck and some spectacular defensive play. Their 3-0 shutout victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday was a prime example of the kind of play the Blues are showing that makes experts and fans alike wonder if...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues, 02-12-12
Great teams find ways to win games. The St. Louis Blues were able to defeat the Colorado Avalanche last night, even though there were times THAT seemed a bit of a stretch, taking the game 3-2 in overtime. Remaining with the status quo of the first three contests, the two teams did not fight each...
Throwdown Lowdown – Avalanche @ Blues, 02-11-12
Good teams find ways to win like the St. Louis Blues found a way to beat the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. And not only that, the deed was done in the dastardly SHOOTOUT portion of the contest! Yes, the Blues actually won a shootout! 4-3 was the official final score. Despite the fact that...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Devils, 02-09-12
Road wins are really cool, y’know. The St. Louis Blues were able to snag a big two points in Ottawa on Tuesday in Brian Elliott’s return to the place he called home to begin his National Hockey League career, earning a win over the Ottawa Senators 3-1. There was an early scrap between two familiar...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Senators, 02-07-12
Well, that sucked. The St. Louis Blues were hoping to break their struggles with the Nashville Predators, but instead found out how good Pekka Rinne really is . . . AGAIN . . . in a 3-1 regulation loss in Tennessee on Saturday. A great fight happened, and it was recapped here. Sure, Ryan Reaves...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 02-04-12
It can never be pretty, but it can always be effective. That’s a pretty accurate description of many of the St. Louis Blues’ wins this season, and the 1-0 victory last night over the Los Angeles Kings was no exception to that edict. Despite some excitement, there were no fighting majors issued in this contest,...
