Throwdown Lowdown – Blues-Sharks Western Conference Quarterfinals
I guess that will count as a strong finish. The St. Louis Blues took advantage of the mistakes given to them by the Dallas Stars after licking their wounds from Friday night’s beating, taking the battle to the Stars and taking home a 3-2 victory to bring the team into some kind of a momentum...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers, 02-29-12
Beastly efforts are quite awesome. What the St. Louis Blues displayed on Monday can qualify as a beastly effort. The 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames did well to boost the team’s confidence in the middle of a long western road swing. And yes, there was a fight! Guillaume Desbiens went at it with BJ...
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 – Oilers @ Blues 01-19-12
What a run this team is on, albeit aided by lots of home dates. A great setup led to a spectacular goal in the St. Louis Blues’ 1-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in what can best be described as a slugfest of a game on Monday night, in front of a captivated home crowd...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Oilers 01-05-12
2012 starts with a bang for our St. Louis Blues, which is great, considering how horrendously 2011 ended. They were able to take the battle to the soon-to-be-not Phoenix Coyotes in a 4-1 rout. There were several opportunities for a fight, but none came to fruition. This, despite Paul Bissonnette and BJ Crombeen being virtually...
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 – Rangers @ Blues, 12-15-11
If you’re going to have five days off, you may as well go into it with a smile on your face. That’s what the St. Louis Blues did Saturday by beating the San Jose Sharks 1-0 in a very tight defensive struggle, which was relatively expected with it being David Perron’s first game against the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Sharks @ Blues 12-10-11
A great showing from the Home Six on Thursday led to an easy 4-2 St. Louis Blues win over a reeling Anaheim Ducks squad. The likelihood of a bout was significantly lowered when it was learned that Ryan Reaves would be a healthy scratch, which he was. So no fights on the game means the...
Throwdown Lowdown – Ducks @ Blues 12-08-11
3-2 wins by the St. Louis Blues over the Detroit Red Wings make me happier than I should be. Wait, what am I talking about? It’s so awesome, actually. The only positive thing that I didn’t see out of that game was an actual fight, despite Jimmy Howard’s best attempt to try to start one...
Throwdown Lowdown – Red Wings @ Blues 12-06-11
What started out as awesome ended up being . . . not so much. David Perron scored a goal in his long-awaited return to the St. Louis Blues, but the Chicago Blackhawks carried the day with an impressive 5-2 win over the Blues. It was testy throughout, and there were several times that I was...
