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 @ Avalanche 01-07-12
What a rally! The St. Louis Blues have proven to be a never-say-die team under Ken Hitchcock, and they proved it again by rallying from a 3-1 deficit after a HORRIBLE second period to win 4-3 over the Edmonton Oilers with a flurry of goals to begin the third period. The only bad part about...
Central Division Proving Its Worth
Happy Holidays everyone. This is going to be a shorter post this week due to the holiday season, but I wanted to take the time to highlight how strong the Central division has been so far this season. Many of our readers who are Blues fans know how tough it is to win games in...
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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 12-17-11
Two things completely unexpected happened in Thursday night’s 4-1 St. Louis Blues home victory over the New York Rangers. First, the Blues were able to dominate action for about 45 of the 60 minutes of play despite a full four-day layoff. Secondly, there was only one penalty called, and at that, it was a petty...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues 12-10-11
A great showing from the Home Six on Thursday led to an easy 4-2 St. Louis Blues win over a reeling Anaheim Ducks squad. The likelihood of a bout was significantly lowered when it was learned that Ryan Reaves would be a healthy scratch, which he was. So no fights on the game means the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues 12-06-11
What started out as awesome ended up being . . . not so much. David Perron scored a goal in his long-awaited return to the St. Louis Blues, but the Chicago Blackhawks carried the day with an impressive 5-2 win over the Blues. It was testy throughout, and there were several times that I was...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues 12-03-11
So . . . overtime? I hate the National Hockey League’s idea of overtime, but we had to endure it once again in a 3-2 shootout loss by the St. Louis Blues to the Colorado Avalanche. Furthermore, there were no fights in the contest, so the Blues hold steady with 11 fights this season, currently...
Throwdown Lowdown – Panthers @ Blues 11-17-11
The train keeps on rollin’. One of the best things any St. Louis Blues coach can do is beat both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings, and with the 2-1 victory over the Wings on Tuesday, Ken Hitchcock has done both within a week. HITCHCOCK FOR MAYOR! (Okay, maybe not.) Despite the nasty...
