Fight Card – Wasting Tyler’s Time (King-Crombeen), 04-30-12
So now, we St. Louis Blues fans obviously know who Dwight King is after two games in this series, apart from being DJ King’s brother (and possible condo-mate). So when BJ Crombeen had his opportunity to go after the young Los Angeles Kings forward with fists, he took it running . . . too bad...
Blues Beat Sharks in Game 4
The St. Louis Blues have won their third straight game against the San Jose Sharks after losing game one of the playoffs. The Sharks were hungry and aggressive but Ken Hitchcock’s harpoon called defense killed almost every opportunity by San Jose as the Blues took the fourth game of the series 2-1. The teams traded...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues, 04-04-12
Backing into the division title? Yeah, that happened, but that shouldn’t diminish what the St. Louis Blues have accomplished all season. What SHOULD diminish things a bit is what exactly happened in their home game with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, looking a bit out-of-sorts in a 5-2 loss to the worst team in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-31-12
Well, the division title is still in range for the St. Louis Blues, as they gained a point in a game they probably didn’t deserve to get one in after losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a free-throw shooting contest. But while there were a few mild skirmishes, there were no fights to speak...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues, 03-29-12
That may have been the biggest win of the season on Tuesday night. The St. Louis Blues have had all sorts of problems defeating the Nashville Predators this season, and finally they were able to vanquish them in regulation, 3-0, in a game that did more to determine postseason seeding for both teams than anything...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Coyotes, 03-25-12
A great defensive and goaltending struggle happened between the St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings, and it ended in a 1-0 loss after a shootout (GOD I HATE THE SHOOTOUT!). But screw that . . . THERE WAS A FIGHT IN THE GAME! Yes, Chris Stewart dropped the gloves with Kyle Clifford and was...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks, 03-21-12
That’s more like it. To earn a playoff spot, the St. Louis Blues needed to beat the teams that they were clearly better than on paper, and the Tampa Bay Lightning would be one of those teams. And with the 3-1 victory Saturday over that squad, the Blues DID earn that long-elusive playoff spot and...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Hurricanes, 03-15-12
Normally, when you play like crap against a desperate team in their building, you lose your ass. In this case, somehow the St. Louis Blues were able to garner a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to a Chicago Blackhawks squad that is desperately trying to stay ahead of the Western Conference playoff bottom-feeders. Things...
Fight Card – The Chicago Double-Bill, 03-13-12
It was a playoff atmosphere in Chicago last night, and as such, things got a little testy in the first period. There was not just one fight, but two between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks, though neither of them really fit the billing it should have.
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 03-13-12
The St. Louis Blues needed to escape that weekend with, at the fewest, three points. They got four from the downtrodden Columbus Blue Jackets, and the second one was practically stolen by the goaltender. Sunday’s 2-1 victory was a beauty, in which Jaroslav Halak showed why he will likely be the first choice in net...
