Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues 12-03-11
So . . . overtime? I hate the National Hockey League’s idea of overtime, but we had to endure it once again in a 3-2 shootout loss by the St. Louis Blues to the Colorado Avalanche. Furthermore, there were no fights in the contest, so the Blues hold steady with 11 fights this season, currently...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues 11-08-11
As promised, here is video of the fight that Scott Nichol won over David Booth on Friday night. There’s more where that came from. Talk about your whirlwind weekend. Following a win at home on Friday, the St. Louis Blues were largely lackluster in a 2-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild in “The State of...
It Came From Twitter: Ian Cole Chirps Duncan Keith & Jamal Mayers Overreacts
One of my morning rituals on the train ride to work is checking Twitter to see what was said while I slept (well attempted to sleep). I came across this Ian Cole late Monday night tweet. Just saw a commercial during the hawks game with Duncan Keith working out… Feel free to put some plates...
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 – Canucks @ Blues – 12-20-10
Saturday’s disappointing 4-1 Blues loss to the San Jose Sharks did bring some excitement, in the form of three fights – which was an expected development after the previous tilt between the teams. The problem? The Blues didn’t win any of these fights. But some temporary good news came of it later (more on that...
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?)...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Bruins – 11-06-10
Blood was spilled Thursday during the Blues’ 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks, as anticipated from the lead-up. Joe Thornton – not known as a cheap player (and in my mind, still not a cheap player), connected on a very questionable hit to the side of our own David Perron’s head. It ended up...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues – 11-04-10
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...
Summer Skating
Several St. Louis Blues players, former players, and St. Louis hockey locals scrimmaged out at the Mills Mall Wednesday. I was not in attednance, but here is a highlight list of players. David Backes Erik Johnson Patrik Berglund Brad Winchester Cam Janssen Tyson Strachan Phil McRae Ben Bishop Brett Sonne or Vlad Sobotka (some folks...
