Throwdown Lowdown – Penguins @ Blues 01-24-12
A good effort is not good enough in Detroit, but it shows you’re ready to battle. The St. Louis Blues played well enough to beat just about every team in the league last night, but they did not play well enough to beat the Detroit Red Wings at home. The 3-1 win, while it derails a...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues 01-16-12
The St. Louis Blues can win a game in the shootout? Holy crap! And so it was done on Saturday, as the Blues played the Minnesota Wild to a 2-2 tie in regulation and a scoreless five-minute overtime period, and took the victory in a shootout, most undoubtedly the single dumbest way I can think...
Big Opportunities Tonight for a Pair of Enigmatic Forwards
Stewart and Gagner headline, but there are others to watch tonight for as well. On paper tonight’s tilt down at 14th and Clark doesn’t look all that exciting. The Oilers are floundering around the bottom third of the conference again and are without one of their young guns, 2011 1st overall draft pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins....
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues, 12-26-11
A win is always fun to get, even when it’s earned. The St. Louis Blues took the battle to the Phoenix Coyotes Friday night on a night when the Yotes honored one of the best to ever play for BOTH franchises – one Keith “Walt” Tkachuk – and came out with a 3-2 victory. Being...
Chris Stewart, the Latest Whipping Boy
In a world with where the St. Louis Blues are excelling on the ice and in the standings, someone still has to be the whipping boy. Count out the former kids, Patrik Berglund, David Perron and TJ Oshie. They’re far too mature now. It can’t be Andy Murray, Eric Brewer, Brad Boyes or Cam Janssen....

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...
Do the Blues have a second line problem? They have a second line problem.
Though several nuances and major aspects of building a competitive team have changed since the lockout, there are still many trends that remain constant. Strength down the middle, depth on the blue line and quality goaltending are just a few examples. Another is line role. While teams are asking for more offensive production out of...
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...
