Concussions Rock the East
Head injuries and hockey have, unfortunately, gone hand in hand the past few years. Concussions and other head-related injuries have become much more prominent in the NHL over the last three seasons, affecting everyone from league superstars to lesser-known role players. It seems like every week there’s another player who is sidelined by a concussion,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blackhawks @ Blues 12-03-11
So . . . overtime? I hate the National Hockey League’s idea of overtime, but we had to endure it once again in a 3-2 shootout loss by the St. Louis Blues to the Colorado Avalanche. Furthermore, there were no fights in the contest, so the Blues hold steady with 11 fights this season, currently...
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. Another ugly-yet-effective game led to a 2-1 win to spoil Dale Hunter’s Washington Capitals coaching debut. And there WAS a fight in the contest! Scott Nichol got into it with noted scrapper...
Throwdown Lowdown – Flames @ Blues 11-25-11
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will start off with the video of the “fight” between Colin Fraser and Scott Nichol that was not on the previous report. Someone actually voted that Fraser won the fight. That person should be shot on site, as should anyone that votes Nichol the winner. This...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Penguins 11-23-11
Well, that wasn’t favorable. The St. Louis Blues did not give their worst effort of the year, but certainly didn’t give their best in a 3-2 regulation loss to the Los Angeles Kings last night. There was a fight in the game, but I may steadfastly refuse to post video of it as I felt...

Week of Streaks
It’s inevitable that all teams in the NHL go through ups and downs over the course of the 82-game season. Prosperous winning streaks are just as likely as debilitating losing streaks, and there have been plenty of teams already who have experienced both extremes. Out East, as they have been all year, the Penguins continue...
Let the Coaching Roller Coaster Begin – NHL Week 4
Sports fans know the most expendable and easily-fired coaches are in the NHL. When there’s something wrong with the way a team is performing, it always seems easier for organizations to make changes at the top instead of dumping and trading away different players. NHL coaches have shelf lives, every hockey fan knows it, and...
