Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Red Wings 01-23-12
In a game I felt the St. Louis Blues HAD to win to keep their reputation as a league-wide menace, the team held their end of the deal by downing the Buffalo Sabres 4-2, despite an extremely sluggish first period and a few late calls that left a lot to the imagination. While the two...
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 – Red Wings @ Blues 11-15-11
1-3-1 Trap Scheme, eh? I don’t think it worked very well for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, as they left the DrinkScotch with a 3-0 shutout loss handed to them by the opportunistic St. Louis Blues. It’s a shame that a team with as many skilled players as the Lightning have to resort to...
BlueNoteZone Donating to Commodore 64
So by now pretty much all puck heads, blue bleeders and the like have heard about Make My Day Mondays and the Commodore 64 push by Wysh over at Puck Daddy. Well, Scott Norton called out hockey bloggers this morning to get in on MMDM and we St. Louis Blues fans love getting a poker...
BlueNotes 7-11-11: Conklin, Commodore 64 and Blues Links
Bluenotes is a (sometimes) daily does of news, views and links from around St. Louis Blues nation and the NHL abroad. — News, Notes & Thoughts Not much in the way of Blues news save for the 10 Game Plan announcement. In other loosely related news… With Joey MacDonald re-signing with the Detroit Red Wings,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets 04-03-11
I was honored to be witness to the Awesome That Is Jarome Iginla in the Blues’ 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Friday. And yes, I do have a BIT of a man-crush on Iginla. While that’s true, I do still wish he had not single-handedly beaten my team like that. Oh well, some...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets, 03-09-11
RIGHT OFF THE HOP: Enjoy Jeff’s new Blues Fight Card pieces. He might not be as passionate about hockey fights as I am, but I can’t help but be proud of him for taking an idea revolving around fighting and just running with it. Nice work, Jeff! (And I do know from personal knowledge that...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-07-11
That was an absolutely disappointing effort by the Blues in their 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders. To add to that, there was an embarrassing incident between Barret Jackman and Michael Haley to end the contest that can only be described as an “everyone was wrong” play. Yes, Sir Jaxx didn’t need to shove...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 01-22-11
Not that it was unexpected, but the Blues and Detroit Red Wings did not drop the gloves in the Wings’ 4-3 overtime win on Thursday (though there was a really cool jousting match by Justin Abdelkader and Barret Jackman after Jaroslav Halak’s HUGE incredible late-regulation save). So The Note stays at 45 fighting majors on...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues – 12-09-10
We start by completing the previous report: I assumed the vote would lead to a draw between Stefan Della Rovere and Colin Fraser, and of course, I was wrong. The votes were close between “Draw” and “Della Rovere”, but the rookie got the edge (one vote somehow went to Fraser, though he didn’t land one...
