Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Devils, 02-09-12
Road wins are really cool, y’know. The St. Louis Blues were able to snag a big two points in Ottawa on Tuesday in Brian Elliott’s return to the place he called home to begin his National Hockey League career, earning a win over the Ottawa Senators 3-1. There was an early scrap between two familiar...

Well, that sucked. The St. Louis Blues were hoping to break their struggles with the Nashville Predators, but instead found out how good Pekka Rinne really is . . . AGAIN . . . in a 3-1 regulation loss in Tennessee on Saturday. A great fight happened, and it was recapped here. Sure, Ryan Reaves...
Fight Card – Reaves vs. McGrattan 02-04-12
Yes, the pugilist “expert” of the Blue Note Zone has taken over the Fight Card responsibilities. You’re welcome. And yes, Andy Sutton, I AM an “expert”, or at least I play one when I feel like it. Last night, we witnessed a scrap between young St. Louis Blues brawler Ryan Reaves and Nashville Predators enforcer,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Predators, 02-04-12
It can never be pretty, but it can always be effective. That’s a pretty accurate description of many of the St. Louis Blues’ wins this season, and the 1-0 victory last night over the Los Angeles Kings was no exception to that edict. Despite some excitement, there were no fighting majors issued in this contest,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 02-03-12
Geez, that was a while away from hockey, wasn’t it? I can barely remember who played against the St. Louis Blues in their last game . . . oh wait, now I remember! It was the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were able to sneak out of St. Louis with a 3-2 shootout win. Despite another stupid hit...
Throwdown Lowdown – Penguins @ Blues 01-24-12
A good effort is not good enough in Detroit, but it shows you’re ready to battle. The St. Louis Blues played well enough to beat just about every team in the league last night, but they did not play well enough to beat the Detroit Red Wings at home. The 3-1 win, while it derails a...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Red Wings 01-23-12
In a game I felt the St. Louis Blues HAD to win to keep their reputation as a league-wide menace, the team held their end of the deal by downing the Buffalo Sabres 4-2, despite an extremely sluggish first period and a few late calls that left a lot to the imagination. While the two...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sabres @ Blues 01-21-12
When you find ways to win, you give fans hope. The St. Louis Blues keep finding ways to win. This time, it was a barrage of shots, none of which passed the goal line until late in the third period of a 1-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. And we saw a...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues 01-16-12
The St. Louis Blues can win a game in the shootout? Holy crap! And so it was done on Saturday, as the Blues played the Minnesota Wild to a 2-2 tie in regulation and a scoreless five-minute overtime period, and took the victory in a shootout, most undoubtedly the single dumbest way I can think...
Throwdown Lowdown – Canucks @ Blues 01-12-12
Remember when the St. Louis Blues sucked at hockey back in the middle to late ‘00’s? I’m starting to forget those days, thanks to performances like we saw in Le Centre Bell on Tuesday. A dominating 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on their court was a thing of beauty, as was the standing ovation...
