Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flames, 02-27-12
It’s not usual that this team wins games that they really should lose, but it doesn’t make them any less sweet. That’s exactly what happened with the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, getting massively outplayed by the Winnipeg Jets but taking a 3-2 shootout win anyway. Were there fights? No, but this game was still...
Throwdown Lowdown – Flames @ Blues 11-25-11
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will start off with the video of the “fight” between Colin Fraser and Scott Nichol that was not on the previous report. Someone actually voted that Fraser won the fight. That person should be shot on site, as should anyone that votes Nichol the winner. This...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flames 10-28-11
Yours truly spent a while battling both a severe case of “Game 6 Hangover” and wonky internet connections at the office, therefore this post is decidedly late. My apologies for that, but the report moves on. Speaking of “Game 6 Hangover” . . . sure, the St. Louis Blues are second-fiddle right now to the...

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 – Flames @ Blues 10-10-11
Well, things went a bit awry for our beloved St. Louis Blues in the season and home opener, taking it on the chin in a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. But there’s good news here, and it comes in two parts: 1) It’s only one hockey game out of 82, and 2) Ryan Reaves...
Throwdown Lowdown – Flames @ Blues 04-01-11
Wow. WOW. W.O.W.!!!!! Sure, the season is over, but if you’re a Blues fan, how can you NOT enjoy a 10-3 Blues victory over the Detroit Red Wings? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Seriously, the only thing that would’ve been better, in my case? Had it been done against the Chicago Blackhawks (and yes, I still...
Throwdown Lowdown – Flames @ Blues, 03-01-11
The first shutout in over 100 games for the Blues – what was at the time the longest active streak in the NHL – is now over after Sunday’s 1-0 loss to tonight’s opponent, the Calgary Flames. Then, the Blues decided to sell off Brad Boyes and Brad “F.” Winchester following the game and ahead...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flames, 02-27-11
I’ll say this: I was in a somewhat poor mood and in somewhat ill condition before Friday’s Blues game with the Edmonton Oilers, and after about the second period of the 5-0 shellacking The Note dealt to the Oil, I felt about 150% better about myself both mentally and physically. I can’t lie about that...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flames, 01-26-11
The Blues’ 4-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday was not the prettiest of games, but at least our home squad decided to show a bit of resiliency in a tough spot, even if it was a small amount. And the return of Cam Janssen to the lineup brought another fight with someone who...
