Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks, 03-21-12
That’s more like it. To earn a playoff spot, the St. Louis Blues needed to beat the teams that they were clearly better than on paper, and the Tampa Bay Lightning would be one of those teams. And with the 3-1 victory Saturday over that squad, the Blues DID earn that long-elusive playoff spot and...
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 – Ducks @ Blues, 03-08-12
So not only are the St. Louis Blues allowed to play home games, they’re allowed to win them as well. They’re even allowed to win them in blowout fashion over fierce rivals, which is exactly what the case was Tuesday in a 5-1 rout of the Chicago Blackhawks. As anticipated, there was a duel in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues 12-08-11
3-2 wins by the St. Louis Blues over the Detroit Red Wings make me happier than I should be. Wait, what am I talking about? It’s so awesome, actually. The only positive thing that I didn’t see out of that game was an actual fight, despite Jimmy Howard’s best attempt to try to start one...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 10-18-11
Yikes. After an incredible third period carried the Blues to victory Saturday, a lackluster third period and an overall peddling effort in front of the goaltender led to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. What’s even worse? Despite the fact that George Parros was suited up, there were no...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks 10-16-11
Well, that was a lovely change of pace. The St. Louis Blues were largely able to beat the San Jose Sharks at their own game last night, scoring a 4-2 victory over the Western Conference powerhouse in the HP Pavilion with smart play, puck possession and a physical presence. It didn’t hurt that a couple...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars 10-13-11
That’s more like it. The St. Louis Blues, following an opening night loss, turned things around in a Monday matinee with the Calgary Flames, winning 5-2 and pretty much dominating the on-ice action. The sad news here is that there were no fights in the contest, keeping the Blues in a massive tie for fifth...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks 03-16-11
The way I saw it, you can’t really fault the Blues’ effort in their 5-3 loss to the despised Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night. They played hard, they scared the crap out of a veteran team AND they did so with a bunch of folks from up the Illinois River. There were no fights...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues, 02-21-11
What an emotional night it was at the Kiel “I Don’t Call It Scottrade” Center on Saturday, and what a game it was – a 9-3 victory over a solid Anaheim Ducks squad. Were there fights? You’d better believe it . . . starting with an anticipated bout between George Parros and Cam Janssen that...
Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues, 02-19-11
In a game that was emotional for the Blues as they traded away their Captain and, for many fans, arguably their most “on-ice controversial” player in Eric “Captain Roboto” Brewer (as in, there’s controversy between Blues fans as to what he’s doing on the ice) before the game, the Blues came out strong and won...
