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 @ Ducks 10-16-11
Well, that was a lovely change of pace. The St. Louis Blues were largely able to beat the San Jose Sharks at their own game last night, scoring a 4-2 victory over the Western Conference powerhouse in the HP Pavilion with smart play, puck possession and a physical presence. It didn’t hurt that a couple...
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 @ Sharks, 01-15-11
First, you get updates from the Anaheim game on Wednesday. As mentioned, there were four fights in that game – George Parros overwhelmingly defeated Barret “SIR JAXX” Jackman, BJ Crombeen soundly defeated Maxim Lapierre, Eric Brewer and Luca Sbisa worked a draw and Matt Beleskey got a sound win over Vladimir Sobotka. An updated fight...
Throwdown Lowdown -Blues @ Kings, 01-13-11
It was an ugly affair during the 7-4 Anaheim Ducks win over the St. Louis Blues. But two of the top fighting teams in the league decided to go ahead and beat the crap out of each other with fists anyway. I don’t have the video or official results available to you right now, but...
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,...
