New York Rangers
New Sheriff in the West
Don’t look now, but the St. Louis Blues are in first place in the Central Division and sit second in the Western Conference. Yes, I said it, the St. Louis Blues – the team that has only made the playoffs once in the past six seasons, and the team that hasn’t been to the playoffs...
Annual Winter Classic Lives Up to Hype
It has become a holiday season tradition the past five years. It’s the NHL’s premiere event. NHL fans around the world wait for the new year to roll around for one reason: the NHL Winter Classic. This year, the fifth year of the Classic, truly didn’t disappoint, as it never has in the past. This...
2012 Winter Classic Draws Near
First and foremost, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas that was filled with joy and great blessings. I know mine was… As we quickly approach the New Year (can it be 2012 ALREADY?) the NHL’s center of attention is the Winter Classic, this year held in Philadelphia where the Rangers and Flyers clash...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 12-17-11
Two things completely unexpected happened in Thursday night’s 4-1 St. Louis Blues home victory over the New York Rangers. First, the Blues were able to dominate action for about 45 of the 60 minutes of play despite a full four-day layoff. Secondly, there was only one penalty called, and at that, it was a petty...

Throwdown Lowdown – Rangers @ Blues, 12-15-11
If you’re going to have five days off, you may as well go into it with a smile on your face. That’s what the St. Louis Blues did Saturday by beating the San Jose Sharks 1-0 in a very tight defensive struggle, which was relatively expected with it being David Perron’s first game against the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blue Jackets 11-27-11
I love hard-fought victories. The St. Louis Blues were able to eke out a win over the Calgary Flames by a 2-0 score, and a fight with an unexpected result took place. Ryan Reaves, starting to assert himself as one of the league’s big bruisers, took on one of the toughest SOB’s in hockey today...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canucks 10-26-11
Might the boys be turning things around? Might there be a goaltender controversy? It’s still way too early to tell on either of those questions, but a great 60-minute effort from the St. Louis Blues resulted in a 4-2 victory over a hot Philadelphia Flyers squad that has taken the Eastern Conference by storm to...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Flyers 10-22-11
What a nice come-from-behind victory by the Blues over the Carolina Hurricanes at home last night – proof that if you put enough shots on a goaltender, eventually the puck CAN bounce your way. So yes, the Blues won the game in overtime, 3-2, but as somewhat anticipated, there were no fights in the contest....
