Throwdown Lowdown – Coyotes @ Blues, 01-03-12
Talk about a year ending with a thud. First, it was the shootout loss on Friday. Then, the St. Louis Blues laid an egg in Joe Louis Arena against the hated Detroit Red Wings in a 3-0 losing effort. The best thing that happened in this game (and I will avoid the issue of illegal...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Coyotes, 12-23-11
Well, I didn’t think it was a goal. They reviewed it, though, and apparently the call on the ice is that it WAS a goal and that there was no conclusive evidence to overturn it. That goal by old friend “Silent Jay” McClement ended up the game-winner for the Colorado Avalanche in a 3-2 victory...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks 03-16-11
The way I saw it, you can’t really fault the Blues’ effort in their 5-3 loss to the despised Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night. They played hard, they scared the crap out of a veteran team AND they did so with a bunch of folks from up the Illinois River. There were no fights...
Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues, 02-19-11
In a game that was emotional for the Blues as they traded away their Captain and, for many fans, arguably their most “on-ice controversial” player in Eric “Captain Roboto” Brewer (as in, there’s controversy between Blues fans as to what he’s doing on the ice) before the game, the Blues came out strong and won...
Throwdown Lowdown -Blues @ Ducks, 01-12-11
Cam Janssen basically guaranteed he would fight Paul Bissonnette in Monday night’s disappointing 4-3 Blues home loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. And fight they did . . . and it was kind of a dud. Janssen did what he could, but BizNasty got the win very easily (video of the fight is here). This brings...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 10-14-10
Well, they decided to throw fists at the Columbus Day Matinee’ in St. Louis on Tuesday. And the results weren’t terrible except for one player – and unfortunately, it was one of my favorites, and I’ll get to him in a minute. It all started with a fight that Ryan Reaves won over Kyle Chipchura...
Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues 10-11-10
I start by correcting myself – my dream match-up from the opener pitted Arron Asham against Cam Janssen. I then realized after the fact that Asham had signed with Pittsburgh in the offseason. Whoops! Sorry about that one. Amazingly, my article in the printed issue of St. Louis Game Time was fine. Anyway, I apologize,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canadiens 1-20-10
Before we begin, another awesome video . . . this one is courtesy of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks hockey team, and you may have caught this elsewhere, but it’s good enough to view over and over again. Two years ago, their CGI intro video turned heads because the polar bear (Nanook, if you don’t...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks 01-07-10
Well . . . wrongly, I did not foresee Jody Shelley throwing down against Cam Janssen last night. With that fight, add one draw to Janssen’s total for the season – he is now 6-1-2 on the year. Some hockey insiders (and outsiders too) consider the Ducks as the most physical team in the National...
