Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues, 03-29-12
That may have been the biggest win of the season on Tuesday night. The St. Louis Blues have had all sorts of problems defeating the Nashville Predators this season, and finally they were able to vanquish them in regulation, 3-0, in a game that did more to determine postseason seeding for both teams than anything...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Hurricanes, 03-15-12
Normally, when you play like crap against a desperate team in their building, you lose your ass. In this case, somehow the St. Louis Blues were able to garner a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to a Chicago Blackhawks squad that is desperately trying to stay ahead of the Western Conference playoff bottom-feeders. Things...
Fight Card – The Chicago Double-Bill, 03-13-12
It was a playoff atmosphere in Chicago last night, and as such, things got a little testy in the first period. There was not just one fight, but two between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks, though neither of them really fit the billing it should have.
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 03-13-12
The St. Louis Blues needed to escape that weekend with, at the fewest, three points. They got four from the downtrodden Columbus Blue Jackets, and the second one was practically stolen by the goaltender. Sunday’s 2-1 victory was a beauty, in which Jaroslav Halak showed why he will likely be the first choice in net...
The Donut Corner – The President’s Trophy
At times, when I look around at the banners hung so neatly at the Kiel/Savvis/Scottrade/DrinkScotch Center, one in particular sticks out like a sore thumb . . . the 1999-2000 President’s Trophy banner. While it celebrates a spectacular regular season accomplishment, it represents more “what could have been” than anything from that season. It also...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues, 03-06-12
A day of rest can do many great things . . . such as turn a solid-yet-zombie-like hockey team into a team that can beat just about anyone. The St. Louis Blues showed just that to the San Jose Sharks for most of their 3-1 win beside the bay on Saturday to complete a very...
Fight Card – The Predictably Horrible Reaves-Scott Fight, 02-19-12
Chicago Blackhawks enforcer John Scott’s second fight in as many games came at the hands of St. Louis Blues enforcer Ryan Reaves. Many Blackhawks fans had clamored for this fight to happen, and thought Reaves was “ducking” Scott. Ducking a 6’8”, 270 pound behemoth is easy to do when you’re six inches shorter and (approximately)...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 02-19-12
That seemed easy, yet difficult. The St. Louis Blues easily handled a team in full free-fall mode, dominating the Minnesota Wild 4-0 in a game where a frustrated Wild team decided to resort to cheap tactics against a team they will not play again this year. Being that it appears the Wild will fall outside...
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...
