Throwdown Lowdown – Panthers @ Blues 11-17-11
The train keeps on rollin’. One of the best things any St. Louis Blues coach can do is beat both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings, and with the 2-1 victory over the Wings on Tuesday, Ken Hitchcock has done both within a week. HITCHCOCK FOR MAYOR! (Okay, maybe not.) Despite the nasty...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Islanders, 03-05-11
A much better effort by the Blues in losing 3-2 to a most-likely playoff-bound Washington Capitals squad did nothing to change my opinion about whether or not this season is over. (Yes, that was me.) It is, still. But it did let me know that there AT LEAST was some spirit in this club. As...
GameRecap 3-3-11: Blues Fall 3-2 to Capitals
We Arnott Good Enough. Caps Win 3-2 The skid continues as the Blues have lost 6 of their last 7 games. The culprit this time around? Mental mistakes and an inability to finish scoring chances. Teams that win consistently can do so 2-1, 4-3, and 6-5. The Note just couldn’t find a way to get...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Capitals, 03-03-11
While there is little doubt the Blues’ future is bright, Tuesday’s brutal 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames left very few doubts about this season’s final path (folks, it’s not good). But at one point, to try to inject some positive energy into the club, Cam Janssen went at it with “The Greek God of...
Throwdown Lowdown – Hurricanes @ Blues – 12-11-10
Well, it was nice to get vengeance on the Columbus Blue Jackets, wasn’t it? The Blues’ 4-1 home win over the Jackets on Thursday, combined with the 3-2 win Sunday in Vancouver, showed me that the team is not ready to give up on the season yet. And there was a fight, and a good...
Throwdown Lowdown – Capitals @ Blues – 12-01-10
Last night’s Blues 7-5 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks may not have been fun to watch in the grand scheme of things, but at least the game had an old-school hockey feel to it. The decision was given to John Scott in his bout with Cam Janssen, BJ Crombeen pretty easily handled Nick Boynton and...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Coyotes 3-2-10
Well . . . welcome back. It was a long, exhausting Winter Olympic break, but we’ve all finally made it through the horror that is the NHL break. Congratulations to David Backes and Erik Johnson in doing your mightiest to help the United States defend Her honor in Vancouver and for helping give us a...
Cam Janssen Suspended 5 Games
The NHL met with Blues Tough Guy Cam Janssen on Thursday to discuss his late hit on the Caps’ Matt Bradley. The conclusion? A Five Game suspension. Woah…5 Games?! Not fair! Ridiculous. Pure BS. This is hockey, its rough. This is the type of response I’ve seen from Blues fans today. I’ve got to be...
Cam Janssen Suspended 5 Games for 2-13-10 Hit on Matt Bradley
St. Louis Blues forward Cam Janssen has received a five-game suspension as a result of his late hit on Washington Capitals forward Matt Bradley in each team’s final game before the Olympic break on February 13th. At first, I thought the hit was suspicious but not enough to draw a sizable suspension. I still believe...
Throwdown Lowdown – Capitals @ Blues 2-13-10
Colton Orr and Cam Janssen got into one non-fight and one fight last night in the Blues’ tilt with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The non-fight was a draw and won’t even count toward the totals and the main event was not graded as of “press time”. So I’ll grade it myself – Orr won, hands...
