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 – 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 @ Wild 03-26-11
Sure, the Edmonton Oilers are probably the worst team in the National Hockey League, but that doesn’t make the dominating 4-0 Blues win over them any less sweet. “Dominating” may not be the right word, but the absolute correct word might be one I won’t mention on this blog (but I probably would at Game...
Throwdown Lowdown – Oilers @ Blues 03-24-11
The Blues’ 2-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday at least showed us a team that gave a rat’s you-know-what on the ice, which was helpful. What was NOT helpful was seeing all the not-really-ready-for-the-NHL talent out there. What also helped were a couple fights for me to tell you about, even if I...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers, 02-25-11
And a disappointing Blues stretch continues with a 3-2 loss to a very good Vancouver Canucks late last night. The good? Two things: 1) the Blues played well enough to win, and 2) There was a fight! It was between BJ Crombeen and Tanner Glass, in one that – preliminarily, at least – shows The...
Throwdown Lowdown – Oilers @ Blues, 02-04-11
Hey, remember that game that was played this past Tuesday between the Blues and the Colorado Avalanche? You don’t? Well, why not? It wasn’t PLAYED, you say? Well alright, if you say so . . . . In all seriousness, yes, that really happened – a game played on ice was postponed (to February 22nd...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 1-28-10
There were no fights last night between the Canucks and Blues (at least nothing worth grading, anyway), although I nearly jumped through the television screen to have a few words with the officiating crew after that supposed slashing call in the 3rd period that led to the power play goal that ended up deciding the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 1-9-10
With Cam Janssen and George Parros scratched for Thursday night’s affair in Anaheim, members of each team had to pick up the slack as far as fisticuffs go. And since both squads go 10+ deep as far as fighters are concerned, there was no doubt it would happen – and it did. The only fight...
