Throwdown Lowdown – Blues-Kings Western Conference Semifinals
It started with a bang for the San Jose Sharks, but thankfully for our St. Louis Blues, their effort ended with a loud thud. The boys in blue are through to the Western Conference Semifinals after five tooth-and-nail games, losing 3-2 in double overtime in Game 1, winning 3-0 in a violent Game 2, winning...
Fight Card – I Drink Your Milkshake. I Drink It Up!
FULL DISCLOSURE: After this game concluded, I watched There Will Be Blood, hence what’s basically the final relevant line of the movie as your title. I apologize for nothing. So yeah, that was quite the Game 2 between the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks, wasn’t it? And to add to it, there were...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues-Sharks Western Conference Quarterfinals
I guess that will count as a strong finish. The St. Louis Blues took advantage of the mistakes given to them by the Dallas Stars after licking their wounds from Friday night’s beating, taking the battle to the Stars and taking home a 3-2 victory to bring the team into some kind of a momentum...
St. Louis To Take On San Jose In Round One
After a huge 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, the St. Louis Blues were awaiting the outcomes of the Edmonton Oilers/Vancouver Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings/San Jose Sharks game to see who they’d be facing off against in the first round. After the Canucks and the Sharks had both won their respective games, the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Sharks, 03-03-12
Moral victories don’t count, but if you’d like something nice to take away from the St. Louis Blues’ 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, it’s that the team hung right with the best team in the National Hockey League pretty much all game on what amounted to “a quarter tank of gas”. I can’t fault...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues, 02-12-12
Great teams find ways to win games. The St. Louis Blues were able to defeat the Colorado Avalanche last night, even though there were times THAT seemed a bit of a stretch, taking the game 3-2 in overtime. Remaining with the status quo of the first three contests, the two teams did not fight each...
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 – Blues @ Sharks 03-19-11
Talk about your epic turn-arounds from one day to the next. I missed most of the Blues’ 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings, but learning the shot differential was +18 in favor of the Blues usually tells the story, and I’ve heard it was about that dominant. Not only that, there were two fights...
Throwdown Lowdown -Blues @ Sharks, 01-15-11
First, you get updates from the Anaheim game on Wednesday. As mentioned, there were four fights in that game – George Parros overwhelmingly defeated Barret “SIR JAXX” Jackman, BJ Crombeen soundly defeated Maxim Lapierre, Eric Brewer and Luca Sbisa worked a draw and Matt Beleskey got a sound win over Vladimir Sobotka. An updated fight...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues – 12-18-10
It appears the Blues scored a week’s worth of goals in a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, but at least there was a fight to help calm the nerves. Kyle Clifford – a noted young bruiser – took on Tyson Strachan – a Noted seventh defenseman (see what I did there?)...
