My Take: In a Thinning Field One Name Stands Tall
As a few of you read yesterday, I don’t fall in to the camp that fears a trade destroying team chemistry. The benefit of addressing needs greatly outweighs the risk of making a couple of guys unhappy that their buddy was traded. It’s a business and there is the whole franchise’s future to consider. If...
Throwdown Lowdown – Canucks @ Blues 01-12-12
Remember when the St. Louis Blues sucked at hockey back in the middle to late ‘00’s? I’m starting to forget those days, thanks to performances like we saw in Le Centre Bell on Tuesday.

Video: Classy Salute to Halak by Canadiens Fans
The St. Louis Blues pretty much coasted on to a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens following Jaroslav Halak‘s momentous 1st period save on former teammate Tomas Plekanec‘s shorty attempt.

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canadiens 01-07-12
Total domination . . . that was what the St. Louis Blues displayed in a 4-0 shellacking of the visiting Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. The only bad part of that game was that while there were some moments of testiness in the battle – especially between Cody McLeod and, fresh off his Injured Reserve...
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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Wild 11-19-11
You give a solid effort, you hold your opponent somewhere around 20 shots, and in the National Hockey League, generally you will win even if the officiating may appear to be somewhat suspect.
