The Donut Corner – Giving Up Is For Losers
The St. Louis Blues played well enough to win Game One but lost, then turned in their worst performance at the worst possible time in Game Two. Both games were at home, and the combination results in a 2-0 series deficit in this best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinals series with the Los Angeles Kings. If you’re...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Lightning, 03-17-12
The way the St. Louis Blues played on Thursday night, I was surprised to find out they were able to get 40 shots on goal in the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, because it just looked like the Blues were outplayed all game. Alas, that happened and the Hurricanes came away with a 2-0 shutout...
Division Rival Predators Acquire Gill From Montreal
As many of you know, I was fully on the “trade for Hall Gill bandwagon”. There is so more to like than not to like, regardless of the system the Blues play. Today the bandwagon moves on with out me. It’s on it’s way to Smashville. The Nashville Predators added depth on their blue line...
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. A dominating 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on their court was a thing of beauty, as was the standing ovation...
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. Normally a shutout earns love from the fans, but not when the good guys are away from Scottrade Center. Well, the love in Montreal for...
Who Won the Trade: Montreal or St. Louis?
There is one question asked at several intervals, often in perpetuity, following a trade commonly asked by media member and fan alike. “Who won the trade?” The answer has been pondered and proclaimed several times regarding the June 2010 trade of forward Lars Eller (and Ian Schultz) by the St. Louis Blues to the Montreal...

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...
