Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Senators, 02-07-12
Well, that sucked. The St. Louis Blues were hoping to break their struggles with the Nashville Predators, but instead found out how good Pekka Rinne really is . . . AGAIN . . . in a 3-1 regulation loss in Tennessee on Saturday. A great fight happened, and it was recapped here. Sure, Ryan Reaves...
Fight Card – Reaves vs. McGrattan 02-04-12
Yes, the pugilist “expert” of the Blue Note Zone has taken over the Fight Card responsibilities. You’re welcome. And yes, Andy Sutton, I AM an “expert”, or at least I play one when I feel like it. Last night, we witnessed a scrap between young St. Louis Blues brawler Ryan Reaves and Nashville Predators enforcer,...
Pick the Goal Scorer: February 4 vs Nashville Predators
Last night’s game turned into a goaltender battle, with Jaroslav Halak coming out on top with a shut out. The Blues were only able to score one goal on Jonathan Quick. That goal came from Jamie Langenbrunner, who none of our readers picked to score! Hopefully, our fans have better luck picking the goal scorer...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 02-04-12
It can never be pretty, but it can always be effective. That’s a pretty accurate description of many of the St. Louis Blues’ wins this season, and the 1-0 victory last night over the Los Angeles Kings was no exception to that edict. Despite some excitement, there were no fighting majors issued in this contest,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 01-05-12
2012 starts with a bang for our St. Louis Blues, which is great, considering how horrendously 2011 ended. They were able to take the battle to the soon-to-be-not Phoenix Coyotes in a 4-1 rout. There were several opportunities for a fight, but none came to fruition. This, despite Paul Bissonnette and BJ Crombeen being virtually...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Red Wings, 12-31-11
Have I ever mentioned how much I despise the National Hockey League’s inclusion of a shootout to the end of hockey games that are tied after 65 minutes? Well, if I haven’t, just rest assured that I absolutely despise the practice. And it’s not just because the St. Louis Blues are horrible at it, which...
Throwdown Lowdown – Predators @ Blues, 12-30-11
40 minutes of awesome, 20 minutes of fail. That would describe what happened Tuesday night in Detroit as the St. Louis Blues let a 2-0 (then a 2-1) lead slip through their hands in the third period. To their credit, the Detroit Red Wings played magnificently (especially that goaltender) in the third period to earn...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues, 12-26-11
A win is always fun to get, even when it’s earned. The St. Louis Blues took the battle to the Phoenix Coyotes Friday night on a night when the Yotes honored one of the best to ever play for BOTH franchises – one Keith “Walt” Tkachuk – and came out with a 3-2 victory. Being...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Coyotes, 12-23-11
Well, I didn’t think it was a goal. They reviewed it, though, and apparently the call on the ice is that it WAS a goal and that there was no conclusive evidence to overturn it. That goal by old friend “Silent Jay” McClement ended up the game-winner for the Colorado Avalanche in a 3-2 victory...
Central Division Proving Its Worth
Happy Holidays everyone. This is going to be a shorter post this week due to the holiday season, but I wanted to take the time to highlight how strong the Central division has been so far this season. Many of our readers who are Blues fans know how tough it is to win games in...
