Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues 12-10-11
A great showing from the Home Six on Thursday led to an easy 4-2 St. Louis Blues win over a reeling Anaheim Ducks squad. The likelihood of a bout was significantly lowered when it was learned that Ryan Reaves would be a healthy scratch, which he was. So no fights on the game means the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Avalanche 12-01-11
They are the St. Louis Blues, and lately all they can do is win hockey games, even if it’s just brutal to watch.

Throwdown Lowdown – Blue Jackets @ Blues, 03-07-11

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Islanders, 03-05-11
A much better effort by the Blues in losing 3-2 to a most-likely playoff-bound Washington Capitals squad did nothing to change my opinion about whether or not this season is over. (Yes, that was me.) It is, still. But it did let me know that there AT LEAST was some spirit in this club. As...
