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 – Blues @ Red Wings, 12-27-11
Obviously this 2011-2012 St. Louis Blues team did not want to keep remembering the ass-kickings they took at the hands of the Dallas Stars last season and early in this one, earning a hard-fought 5-3 victory over their former division-mate and soon-to-be conference-mate. There was a fight in this game, and as I was suspecting,...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues, 12-26-11
A win is always fun to get, even when it’s earned. The St. Louis Blues took the battle to the Phoenix Coyotes Friday night on a night when the Yotes honored one of the best to ever play for BOTH franchises – one Keith “Walt” Tkachuk – and came out with a 3-2 victory. Being...
Scouting Report: Game 1 vs Dallas Stars
Think you know all about the Dallas Stars? You may have on January 2nd, 2011 when the Blues played them last, but a lot has changed down in Texas since then. Brad Gardner, one of two Manging Editors of at Defending Big D, will enlighten us all with the need to know details. - –...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Stars 10-13-11
That’s more like it. The St. Louis Blues, following an opening night loss, turned things around in a Monday matinee with the Calgary Flames, winning 5-2 and pretty much dominating the on-ice action. The sad news here is that there were no fights in the contest, keeping the Blues in a massive tie for fifth...
Game Day Preview- St. Louis Blues vs Dallas Stars 10-13-2011
(2-1-0) VS (1-1-0) AT Thursday if you happen to be in Dallas around 7:30 pm a cheap ticket might be able to be found. With the Texas Rangers locked in an ACLS battle with the Detroit Tigers most eyes will be glued to coverage of the game with little thoughts of hockey. Enough, however, of...
Throwdown Lowdown – Rangers @ Blues, 01-08-11
Well, in a game that the Blues arguably did not deserve to win, they were able to sneak a point from a 6-5 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs that included one of the most incredible shootout/penalty shot goals I’ve ever seen by Mikhail Grabovski. However, there were no fights in the contest, so...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues 01-02-11
I was hoping that Cam Janssen and Paul Bissonnette would lock horns in the Blues’ 4-3 nail-biter victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night. And trust me, Janssen did everything short of inciting a riot to get BizNasty to dance with him. But all overtures were rejected. There was a near-fight between Ed Jovanovski...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Blackhawks – 11-30-10
A correction of note from the previous edition – it seems the voters gave Eric Brewer a slight edge in his fight Friday night with Steve Ott. So it is voted, so it is done – a win for Captain Roboto instead of a draw! A corrected fight record reflecting this win will be seen...
Throwdown Lowdown – Stars @ Blues – 11-27-10
Finally, the Dallas Stars come along and wake up the Blues’ fighting fists! I did not like the way the 3-2 Stars victory ended on the scoreboard, but I was chomping at the bit for a fight. I got two good ones – starting with what was overwhelmingly a win for Brad Winchester over Brian...
