Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues 01-16-12
The St. Louis Blues can win a game in the shootout? Holy crap! And so it was done on Saturday, as the Blues played the Minnesota Wild to a 2-2 tie in regulation and a scoreless five-minute overtime period, and took the victory in a shootout, most undoubtedly the single dumbest way I can think...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues, 12-26-11
A win is always fun to get, even when it’s earned. The St. Louis Blues took the battle to the Phoenix Coyotes Friday night on a night when the Yotes honored one of the best to ever play for BOTH franchises – one Keith “Walt” Tkachuk – and came out with a 3-2 victory. Being...
Scouting Report: Game 1 vs Dallas Stars
Think you know all about the Dallas Stars? You may have on January 2nd, 2011 when the Blues played them last, but a lot has changed down in Texas since then. Brad Gardner, one of two Manging Editors of at Defending Big D, will enlighten us all with the need to know details. - –...
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 – Stars @ Blues 01-02-11
I was hoping that Cam Janssen and Paul Bissonnette would lock horns in the Blues’ 4-3 nail-biter victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night. And trust me, Janssen did everything short of inciting a riot to get BizNasty to dance with him. But all overtures were rejected. There was a near-fight between Ed Jovanovski...
GameRecap 11-27-10: All Yin and No Yang
The second half of the home and home set against the Dallas Stars moved to St. Louis and Scottrade ice. For most of the season a perfect prescription for the ailments of road losses. The Blues put their near perfect 8-0-1 home mark on the line. The night ended with a 2009 vintage 3rd period...
GameRecap 11-26-10: Mental Mistakes Prompt 3rd Period Collapse
The St. Louis Blues rode a four game winning streak down to Dallas. Hoping to complete the washout of the five game losing skid predating the current run. Instead three mistakes and a lack of secondary scoring sealed the deal in a 3-2 Stars come from behind victory. A typical road game effort was the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars – 11-26-10
So that’s now SEVERAL Blues games in a row without a fight. I’m getting ANTSY here! However, the Blues were able to pull off the 2-1 shootout win over the slumping Nashville Predators on Wednesday night, so that’s something good. Methinks the Preds wouldn’t be struggling so much if they didn’t have their gloves glued...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars – 10-16-10
Thursday’s loss to the Nashville Predators brought one actual fight and another event that was not considered a fight – and for good reason, other than the fact that it didn’t draw a fighting major. The fight was between BJ Crombeen and former Canuck Shane O’Brien, and it was an easy victory for The Beej. ...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Avalanche 3-6-10
The Blues aren’t just beating people on the scoreboard, they’re punching people too. There were two fights on Thursday between the Blues and Dallas Stars – one featuring expected contestants and one featuring not-so-expected contestants. First, we had the long-awaited rematch between DJ King and Krys Barch. King broke his hand on Barch’s helmet in...
