Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues, 04-04-12
Backing into the division title? Yeah, that happened, but that shouldn’t diminish what the St. Louis Blues have accomplished all season. What SHOULD diminish things a bit is what exactly happened in their home game with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, looking a bit out-of-sorts in a 5-2 loss to the worst team in...
Fight Card – Boll vs. Nichol, 03-31-12
Yeah, that game last night sucked, but at least Scott Nichol and Jared Boll had a fight I can talk to you folks about, even if the fight was horrible.
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-31-12
Well, the division title is still in range for the St. Louis Blues, as they gained a point in a game they probably didn’t deserve to get one in after losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a free-throw shooting contest. But while there were a few mild skirmishes, there were no fights to speak...
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...
Fight Card – Columbus Home-And-Home Triple Bill
Divisional home-and-home matchups always bring the best (worst?) out of teams. Take, for instance, the one the St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets staged this weekend. Between the two games, there were three fights, which I pretty much expected.
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 03-11-12
Beat the teams you’re supposed to beat. The Columbus Blue Jackets, no offense to them, are a team the St. Louis Blues are supposed to beat, and after a shaky beginning, that’s exactly what happened in a relatively dominant 4-1 win in the first leg of a home-and-home with our blue-coated division mates. We even...
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 – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 02-14-12
Why not the St. Louis Blues. This team is white hot of late, thanks to some luck and some spectacular defensive play. Their 3-0 shutout victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday was a prime example of the kind of play the Blues are showing that makes experts and fans alike wonder if...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Avalanche, 12-21-11
Ten goals, two fights and a victory are three good ways to shake out from a hard-battled, emotional road loss 24 hours previous. The St. Louis Blues also got some home-cooked enthusiasm in that 6-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. As for the two fights, they were both draws, though for different...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets 11-27-11
I love hard-fought victories. The St. Louis Blues were able to eke out a win over the Calgary Flames by a 2-0 score, and a fight with an unexpected result took place. Ryan Reaves, starting to assert himself as one of the league’s big bruisers, took on one of the toughest SOB’s in hockey today...
