The Donut Corner – Assuaging Blues Playoff Concerns
The playoffs officially begin tonight, and while the St. Louis Blues do not start their playoff schedule until tomorrow (as the Western Conference’s number two seed, facing the West’s seventh-seeded San Jose Sharks), the thickness of this anticipation would need a steak knife to cut through. There is a bit of trepidation in this next...
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...
The Donut Corner – Team Health and Team Chemistry
St. Louis Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock is in one of the most envied positions in the National Hockey League . . . the head engineer of the team no one thought would be as good as it is, with every player on the current roster available to him because no one is on Injured...
Fight Card – Boll vs. Nichol, 03-31-12
Yeah, that game last night sucked, but at least Scott Nichol and Jared Boll had a fight I can talk to you folks about, even if the fight was horrible.
Pick the Goal Scorer | March 31: Blues vs Blue Jackets
The Blues fell to the Blackhawks on Thursday night, losing 4-3 in a shoot out. A newly healthy Alex Steen scored first for the Note. Tonight, the Blues are playing with a fully healthy roster since October 2010. Who will score first for the Blues tonight? Give us your best guess! Remember, you just need...
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 – 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...
Fight Card – Columbus Home-And-Home Triple Bill
Divisional home-and-home matchups always bring the best (worst?) out of teams. Take, for instance, the one the St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets staged this weekend. Between the two games, there were three fights, which I pretty much expected.
Pick the Goal Scorer | March 11: Blues at Blue Jackets
David Perron was the first scorer last night against the Blue Jackets; tonight the Blues head to Columbus for a re-match. Who will score first for the Blues tonight? Give us your best guess! Remember, you just need to comment on this post to be entered into the contest; the person with the most correct...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 03-11-12
Beat the teams you’re supposed to beat. The Columbus Blue Jackets, no offense to them, are a team the St. Louis Blues are supposed to beat, and after a shaky beginning, that’s exactly what happened in a relatively dominant 4-1 win in the first leg of a home-and-home with our blue-coated division mates. We even...
