Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-10-12
First place overall in the entire National Hockey League? That’s totally awesome. The St. Louis Blues made that happen with help from a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. The downside? Well, partially because George Parros was in the press area for this game, there were no fighting majors handed out during the contest. I’ll...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers, 02-29-12
Beastly efforts are quite awesome. What the St. Louis Blues displayed on Monday can qualify as a beastly effort. The 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames did well to boost the team’s confidence in the middle of a long western road swing. And yes, there was a fight! Guillaume Desbiens went at it with BJ...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 02-19-12
That seemed easy, yet difficult. The St. Louis Blues easily handled a team in full free-fall mode, dominating the Minnesota Wild 4-0 in a game where a frustrated Wild team decided to resort to cheap tactics against a team they will not play again this year. Being that it appears the Wild will fall outside...
Throwdown Lowdown – Islanders @ Blues, 02-16-12
And . . . thud. The St. Louis Blues had every opportunity to extend the winning streak to five games against the Central cellar-dwelling Columbus Blue Jackets, but just never capitalized on opportunities given and overall played very sloppily in a 2-1 loss in Ohio’s capital on Tuesday night. Derek Dorsett, who acted like an...
Did Carter Slewfoot Oshie? Pot, Meet Kettle. He Says Don’t Throw Stones…
First and foremost I am a Blues fan. Always have been always will be. However there are times when I have to pull myself back from blind homerism. Tonight’s loss in Columbus had one of these moments. In the dieing seconds of the third period as the Blues frantically attempted to net an equalizing goal,...
Fight Card – Crombeen vs. Dorsett 02-14-12
I’m not going to let this go before saying that Derek Dorsett was acting like a general douche all game. If you think Andy McDonald is going to retaliate, you’re living in a land made of marshmallows and candy canes. And it sure as hell isn’t Christmas, Derek. All that said, the early scrap between...
Q’s Cuties: Russell is a Twin??
So, I’m probably way behind in knowing that Kris Russell has a twin brother who plays in the NHL. How did I miss this? I adore the Staals (all 4!), and I’m usually pretty excited for brother-on-brother hits during games (except that depressing hit by Eric Staal on Marc!). How did I miss, then, that...
Pick the Goal Scorer: February 14 vs Blue Jackets
In our last Pick the Goal Scorer contest, one person, Lonnie, picked the correct first scorer. Not only did Lonnie pick Alex Pietrangelo to score, but also guessed the shot would come on a power play and be fed by Andy McDonald. Great guess, Lonnie! By the way, I checked to make sure the time on...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 02-14-12
Why not the St. Louis Blues. This team is white hot of late, thanks to some luck and some spectacular defensive play. Their 3-0 shutout victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday was a prime example of the kind of play the Blues are showing that makes experts and fans alike wonder if...
