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 – 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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Wild @ Blues 01-14-12
To continue my remembrance of when the St. Louis Blues sucked at hockey back in the middle to late ‘00’s, back then a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks would not have been viewed as a disappointment. Now? It is a disappointment, which is a good sign of where this club is headed going...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 01-05-12
2012 starts with a bang for our St. Louis Blues, which is great, considering how horrendously 2011 ended. They were able to take the battle to the soon-to-be-not Phoenix Coyotes in a 4-1 rout. There were several opportunities for a fight, but none came to fruition. This, despite Paul Bissonnette and BJ Crombeen being virtually...
Throwdown Lowdown – Coyotes @ Blues, 01-03-12
Talk about a year ending with a thud. First, it was the shootout loss on Friday. Then, the St. Louis Blues laid an egg in Joe Louis Arena against the hated Detroit Red Wings in a 3-0 losing effort. The best thing that happened in this game (and I will avoid the issue of illegal...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Red Wings, 12-31-11
Have I ever mentioned how much I despise the National Hockey League’s inclusion of a shootout to the end of hockey games that are tied after 65 minutes? Well, if I haven’t, just rest assured that I absolutely despise the practice. And it’s not just because the St. Louis Blues are horrible at it, which...
Throwdown Lowdown – Predators @ Blues, 12-30-11
40 minutes of awesome, 20 minutes of fail. That would describe what happened Tuesday night in Detroit as the St. Louis Blues let a 2-0 (then a 2-1) lead slip through their hands in the third period. To their credit, the Detroit Red Wings played magnificently (especially that goaltender) in the third period to earn...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Red Wings, 12-27-11
Obviously this 2011-2012 St. Louis Blues team did not want to keep remembering the ass-kickings they took at the hands of the Dallas Stars last season and early in this one, earning a hard-fought 5-3 victory over their former division-mate and soon-to-be conference-mate. There was a fight in this game, and as I was suspecting,...
