Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Ducks 03-16-11

The way I saw it, you can’t really fault the Blues’ effort in their 5-3 loss to the despised Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.  They played hard, they scared the crap out of a veteran team AND they did so with a bunch of folks from up the Illinois River.  There were no fights...

In a game that was emotional for the Blues as they traded away their Captain and, for many fans, arguably their most “on-ice controversial” player in Eric “Captain Roboto” Brewer (as in, there’s controversy between Blues fans as to what he’s doing on the ice) before the game, the Blues came out strong and won...

Cam Janssen basically guaranteed he would fight Paul Bissonnette in Monday night’s disappointing 4-3 Blues home loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.  And fight they did . . . and it was kind of a dud. Janssen did what he could, but BizNasty got the win very easily (video of the fight is here).  This brings...

Well, it was nice to get vengeance on the Columbus Blue Jackets, wasn’t it?  The Blues’ 4-1 home win over the Jackets on Thursday, combined with the 3-2 win Sunday in Vancouver, showed me that the team is not ready to give up on the season yet.  And there was a fight, and a good...

Well, they decided to throw fists at the Columbus Day Matinee’ in St. Louis on Tuesday.  And the results weren’t terrible except for one player – and unfortunately, it was one of my favorites, and I’ll get to him in a minute.  It all started with a fight that Ryan Reaves won over Kyle Chipchura...

I start by correcting myself – my dream match-up from the opener pitted Arron Asham against Cam Janssen.  I then realized after the fact that Asham had signed with Pittsburgh in the offseason.  Whoops!  Sorry about that one.  Amazingly, my article in the printed issue of St. Louis Game Time was fine.  Anyway, I apologize,...

The one fight that occurred between the Blues and Ducks on Saturday was similar to the Blues’ third period effort – pathetic.  It was between Troy Bodie and Brad Winchester, and honestly it shouldn’t have been classified as a fight..  Bodie got a few shots in, Winchester got a few shots in, Bodie grabbed Winchester’s...

Well . . . wrongly, I did not foresee Jody Shelley throwing down against Cam Janssen last night.  With that fight, add one draw to Janssen’s total for the season – he is now 6-1-2 on the year. Some hockey insiders (and outsiders too) consider the Ducks as the most physical team in the National...
