The Donut Corner – Who Do You Root For Now?
So . . . just like that, the St. Louis Blues are out of the postseason. Playoff beards are shaved, hidden injuries are being revealed, and now the ownership situation is finally coming to a resolution. But many of us – myself included – will still be watching the National Hockey League postseason intently, like...
My East/West Predictions
I was sitting down, looking closely as each series and decided I’d write up a short blurb on each series and give my prediction. Needless to say, I am a fan of the upset, but I only see one upset coming in the first round. I’ll be starting in the eastern conference with the 1st...
The Donut Corner – Assuaging Blues Playoff Concerns
The playoffs officially begin tonight, and while the St. Louis Blues do not start their playoff schedule until tomorrow (as the Western Conference’s number two seed, facing the West’s seventh-seeded San Jose Sharks), the thickness of this anticipation would need a steak knife to cut through. There is a bit of trepidation in this next...
Throwdown Lowdown – Coyotes @ Blues, 04-06-12
Well that was fun while it lasted, but very unsavory. The St. Louis Blues took late control, but then quickly lost it and had to end up settling for a 3-2 shootout loss to the despised Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. What makes it worse is that, as expected, there were no fights in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues, 04-04-12
Backing into the division title? Yeah, that happened, but that shouldn’t diminish what the St. Louis Blues have accomplished all season. What SHOULD diminish things a bit is what exactly happened in their home game with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, looking a bit out-of-sorts in a 5-2 loss to the worst team in...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-31-12
Well, the division title is still in range for the St. Louis Blues, as they gained a point in a game they probably didn’t deserve to get one in after losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a free-throw shooting contest. But while there were a few mild skirmishes, there were no fights to speak...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues, 03-29-12
That may have been the biggest win of the season on Tuesday night. The St. Louis Blues have had all sorts of problems defeating the Nashville Predators this season, and finally they were able to vanquish them in regulation, 3-0, in a game that did more to determine postseason seeding for both teams than anything...
Throwdown Lowdown – Predators @ Blues, 03-27-12
The St. Louis Blues didn’t need that 4-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes as much as the Yotes needed the win, but they sure played like it. It may have had something to do with the end of a long road trip. It was brilliant to watch. While there were a couple near-skirmishes, there were...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks, 03-13-12
The St. Louis Blues needed to escape that weekend with, at the fewest, three points. They got four from the downtrodden Columbus Blue Jackets, and the second one was practically stolen by the goaltender. Sunday’s 2-1 victory was a beauty, in which Jaroslav Halak showed why he will likely be the first choice in net...
Throwdown Lowdown – Wild @ Blues, 02-18-12
That was a nice little bounce-back game, I’d say. You could say the St. Louis Blues were playing a weakened New York Islanders team, and I would probably agree with that (top goaltender Evgeni Nabokov could not play due to illness), but a 5-1 win over a team in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference...
