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...
The Donut Corner – The Best Division In The NHL
This might be the shortest Donut Corner piece ever. I don’t care, though.
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...
