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 – Canucks @ Blues 11-04-11
So . . . now what? Goaltending was not the issue in the St. Louis Blues’ 4-2 loss in Edmonton to the Oilers, this despite the presence of a struggling Jaroslav Halak. It was clearly the team in front of him that was playing at a lackluster level. Moreover, it seemed most of the team...
Around the NHL – Week 3
During the first week of the season we see teams jump out to surprising starts, both strong and weak. The second week is meant for those teams to either continue to separate themselves or bounce back from a rough start. The third week of the NHL season, however, is when I believe teams begin to...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canucks 10-26-11
Might the boys be turning things around? Might there be a goaltender controversy?

Goaltending, Key For Blues Sucess
For the last two decades, the St. Louis Blues have gone through their fair share of goaltenders.They had their young goaltending stud in Curtis Joseph until he was dealt to Edmonton (along with the rights to Mike Grier) for a 1st round pick (Marty Reasoner) and another that was later dealt to Los Angeles. In...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Capitals, 03-03-11
While there is little doubt the Blues’ future is bright, Tuesday’s brutal 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames left very few doubts about this season’s final path (folks, it’s not good). But at one point, to try to inject some positive energy into the club, Cam Janssen went at it with “The Greek God of...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers, 02-25-11
And a disappointing Blues stretch continues with a 3-2 loss to a very good Vancouver Canucks late last night. The good? Two things: 1) the Blues played well enough to win, and 2) There was a fight! It was between BJ Crombeen and Tanner Glass, in one that – preliminarily, at least – shows The...
