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...

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?)...

Surprisingly with the number of former Blackhawks playing against the Blues in Saturday’s dramatic 4-3 shootout win over the Atlanta Thrashers, not to mention the seeming one-sidedness of the calls going against the Blues in that game (not that we’re biased or anything here at The Bluenote Zone), there were no fights. Too bad, so...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues 2-4-10
There was plenty of testiness between the Blues and Blackhawks on Wednesday, but no fights since the Blackhawks have some sort of allergy that causes them not to drop the gloves. So the Blues remain in 5th with 46 fights and a 21-13-12 fight record. We have covered the San Jose Sharks once on the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Sharks 1-6-10
When trying to figure out how to contribute, a light flashed in my head. What’s one of the most overlooked aspects of elite hockey since the 1980′s? Why, fighting, of course! Gary Bettman has seemingly done everything in his power and “ultimate wisdom” to try to ouster this segment of the game in his reign...
