Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 11-22-11

Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 11-22-11

The boredom of the Twin Cities strikes our favorite club once again. The St. Louis Blues looked poised to win Saturday over the Minnesota Wild, but during the course of the action at some point, things went awry. A goal was scored late by Minnesota to tie, then the game went to the shootout, and...

Yikes. After an incredible third period carried the Blues to victory Saturday, a lackluster third period and an overall peddling effort in front of the goaltender led to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.  What’s even worse? Despite the fact that George Parros was suited up, there were no...

What a day for the Blues yesterday.  First, the team is for sale (AGAIN . . . I’m planning a rant at St. Louis Game Time about this later).  Then a depleted squad decided to sleepwalk through a 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks at the Building Formerly Known As The Arrowhead Pond.  (To be...

In a seemingly-lethargic 4-2 San Jose Sharks win over the Blues Saturday night, we saw two fights by our team.  First, Ryan Reaves squared off with fellow youngster Brandon Mashinter and lost in proper fashion (video here).  Then, before being sent back down to Peoria, Ian Cole went at it with Benn Ferriero in one...

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...

For two main reasons, I dislike the Detroit Red Wings.  For one, they’re always better than the Blues, as last night’s 5-2 final would attest.  Secondly, they rarely drop the gloves.  And they didn’t last night.  Screw that.  The Blues have collected 30 fighting majors, good for third place in the NHL standings by themselves. ...

“Fight-wise, there’s not much to look forward to in this game . . . .”  Nostradamus, I am not.  The Blues dialed up the physicality, got the Los Angeles Kings to play at their level and drew three fights out of the Purple and Black on Saturday.  Amazingly, none of these fights involved either team’s...

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...
