Fight Card – Wasting Tyler’s Time (King-Crombeen), 04-30-12
So now, we St. Louis Blues fans obviously know who Dwight King is after two games in this series, apart from being DJ King’s brother (and possible condo-mate). So when BJ Crombeen had his opportunity to go after the young Los Angeles Kings forward with fists, he took it running . . . too bad...
St. Louis To Take On San Jose In Round One
After a huge 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, the St. Louis Blues were awaiting the outcomes of the Edmonton Oilers/Vancouver Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings/San Jose Sharks game to see who they’d be facing off against in the first round. After the Canucks and the Sharks had both won their respective games, the...
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...
The Donut Corner – Team Health and Team Chemistry
St. Louis Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock is in one of the most envied positions in the National Hockey League . . . the head engineer of the team no one thought would be as good as it is, with every player on the current roster available to him because no one is on Injured...
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 @ Coyotes, 03-25-12
A great defensive and goaltending struggle happened between the St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings, and it ended in a 1-0 loss after a shootout (GOD I HATE THE SHOOTOUT!). But screw that . . . THERE WAS A FIGHT IN THE GAME! Yes, Chris Stewart dropped the gloves with Kyle Clifford and was...
Fight Card – Stewart vs. Clifford, 03-22-12
Sure, we can mill and talk about how disappointing the two games in Southern California were, but I’d rather talk about the positives, mainly because as far as hockey fights are . . . that’s my damn job around here. So I show you this fight between Chris Stewart and Kyle Clifford. FULL DISCLOSURE: When...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 03-22-12
Last night’s game was beyond frustrating but was bound to happen eventually. The St. Louis Blues lost 4-3 to the Anaheim Ducks in a game where it appeared the Ducks really wanted to have more than the Blues, which has not happened too often this year. Fights? There were none, so the Blues stick and...
