Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Lightning, 03-17-12
The way the St. Louis Blues played on Thursday night, I was surprised to find out they were able to get 40 shots on goal in the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, because it just looked like the Blues were outplayed all game. Alas, that happened and the Hurricanes came away with a 2-0 shutout...
Pick the Goal Scorer | March 15: Blues vs Hurricanes
The Blues lost their early lead in Chicago, but squeaked by in the game with one point in a shoot out loss. Veteran Jamie Langenbrunner kicked off the Blues scoring against the Blackhawks. Who will score first for the Blues tonight? Give us your best guess! Remember, you just need to comment on this post...
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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 02-23-12
The way this season has gone, what is happening right now is definitely a “losing skid”. The St. Louis Blues played porous-at-times defense and didn’t capitalize on opportunities given to them, and therefore lost 4-2 to the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Boston Bruins, in their first regulation defeat at home since December 3rd. But...
It Came From Twitter: Blues Scouts at Carolina vs. Anaheim Game
Tis the season for reports of scouts in the building… fa-la-la-la-la la la la la… Suppose I should mention who’s scouting in the building: CHI, TOR, TB, PHX, PHI, NSH, NYR, STL. Not going to read anything into it. — Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) February 9, 2012 For those who don’t know Eric Stephens is the...
My Take: In a Thinning Field One Name Stands Tall
As a few of you read yesterday, I don’t fall in to the camp that fears a trade destroying team chemistry. The benefit of addressing needs greatly outweighs the risk of making a couple of guys unhappy that their buddy was traded. It’s a business and there is the whole franchise’s future to consider. If...
Interesting Tidbits from The Hotstove Last Night Potentially Relating to the Blues
The best produced and most informational discussion segment in all of hockey media is The Hotstove during the second intermission of Hockey Night in Canada on CBC. Sadly, many puckheads in the US miss this because they don’t have NHL Network or are too enthralled in their teams game that isn’t on HNIC. Fortunately there...
Random thoughts on a not so cold Monday before Christmas…
Is it really above 50 degrees before 7am? Seriously?! Christmas is 5 work days and one “wish I could sleep in but can’t” day away. Didn’t the farmers almanac predict this would be a wicked winter? Guess not… Anyways… On to hockey related rambling…. Of Blues & Blue Jackets After watching last night’s 6-4 Blues...
Easterly Wind Blows Coaches Away
Not even halfway through the NHL season, and there have already been three coaching changes to date. Blues fans are pretty happy with the way Ken Hitchcock is working out so far in St. Louis, getting his boys going with eight wins in their past 11 games. However, it is a long season, but management...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Capitals 11-29-11
Ugly wins count as marks in the win column, indeed, and it’s doubtful that many wins this season will be much uglier than the St. Louis Blues’ 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening. Speaking of ugly . . . I’m not sure exactly what the hell you would call this skirmish...
