Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers, 02-29-12
Beastly efforts are quite awesome. What the St. Louis Blues displayed on Monday can qualify as a beastly effort. The 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames did well to boost the team’s confidence in the middle of a long western road swing. And yes, there was a fight! Guillaume Desbiens went at it with BJ...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sabres @ Blues 01-21-12
When you find ways to win, you give fans hope. The St. Louis Blues keep finding ways to win. This time, it was a barrage of shots, none of which passed the goal line until late in the third period of a 1-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. And we saw a...
Throwdown Lowdown – Oilers @ Blues 01-19-12
What a run this team is on, albeit aided by lots of home dates. A great setup led to a spectacular goal in the St. Louis Blues’ 1-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in what can best be described as a slugfest of a game on Monday night, in front of a captivated home crowd...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 01-05-12
2012 starts with a bang for our St. Louis Blues, which is great, considering how horrendously 2011 ended. They were able to take the battle to the soon-to-be-not Phoenix Coyotes in a 4-1 rout. There were several opportunities for a fight, but none came to fruition. This, despite Paul Bissonnette and BJ Crombeen being virtually...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 10-30-11
Was there a hockey game on Friday? I’m not sure . . . well, there’s a box score that shows a 3-1 St. Louis Blues defeat to the Calgary Flames, so I suppose there was a hockey game on Friday. The box score also shows that there were no fights contested in the game, so...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Sharks 03-19-11
Talk about your epic turn-arounds from one day to the next. I missed most of the Blues’ 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings, but learning the shot differential was +18 in favor of the Blues usually tells the story, and I’ve heard it was about that dominant. Not only that, there were two fights...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Thrashers – 12-21-10
Two disappointments occurred in last night’s game. First off, the Blues lost 3-1 to the Vancouver Canucks on home ice. Secondly, they did not engage in fisticuffs despite many good opportunities to do so. By virtue of a fight last night by the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Blues now stand in a tie for second in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Thrashers @ Blues – 10-30-10
There were no fights in Thursday’s 3-0 Blues win over the Nashville Predators, but there was an incident involving quite possibly my least-favorite NHL player in the history of ever – yes, Jordin Tootoo was at it again, this time blasting Carlo “Splodeybones” Colaiacovo with a hit that should get him suspended (which obviously means...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks – 10-18-10
Saturday’s Blues loss to the Dallas Stars held true to the Throwdown Lowdown report posted Saturday morning – the Stars had yet to fight during this young season, and they did not drop the gloves with The Note on Saturday. So the Stars remain one of two teams in the NHL yet to fight on...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues 2-6-10
As most Sharks-Blues games are, Thursday’s match was a violent affair. However, apart from rabbit-punches and other general pugilistic activities, there were no fights to report. So the Blues stand at 5th in the NHL with 46 fights and that 21-13-12 fight record they’ve held on to since last Saturday. This will be an abbreviated...
