Throwdown Lowdown – Blues-Kings Western Conference Semifinals
It started with a bang for the San Jose Sharks, but thankfully for our St. Louis Blues, their effort ended with a loud thud. The boys in blue are through to the Western Conference Semifinals after five tooth-and-nail games, losing 3-2 in double overtime in Game 1, winning 3-0 in a violent Game 2, winning...
The Donut Corner – Bring On The Kings
My apologies for the lack of a Donut Corner piece last week, as yours truly got seriously caught up in the playoff run and some real life situations. It is back again. The St. Louis Blues are through to the Western Conference Semifinals, now set to face the Los Angeles Kings in a series that...
My East/West Predictions
I was sitting down, looking closely as each series and decided I’d write up a short blurb on each series and give my prediction. Needless to say, I am a fan of the upset, but I only see one upset coming in the first round. I’ll be starting in the eastern conference with the 1st...
The Donut Corner – Assuaging Blues Playoff Concerns
The playoffs officially begin tonight, and while the St. Louis Blues do not start their playoff schedule until tomorrow (as the Western Conference’s number two seed, facing the West’s seventh-seeded San Jose Sharks), the thickness of this anticipation would need a steak knife to cut through. There is a bit of trepidation in this next...
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...
Importance of Kings/Sharks & Oilers/Canucks Games
While the Blues do not know who they’ll play in round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs, you can be certain they’ll be scoreboard watching to find out tonight. It’s not just one game determining their opponent, but two. The Los Angeles Kings against the San Jose Sharks in San Jose tonight will determine who...
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 – Blues @ Blackhawks, 03-13-12
The St. Louis Blues needed to escape that weekend with, at the fewest, three points. They got four from the downtrodden Columbus Blue Jackets, and the second one was practically stolen by the goaltender. Sunday’s 2-1 victory was a beauty, in which Jaroslav Halak showed why he will likely be the first choice in net...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Sharks, 03-03-12
Moral victories don’t count, but if you’d like something nice to take away from the St. Louis Blues’ 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, it’s that the team hung right with the best team in the National Hockey League pretty much all game on what amounted to “a quarter tank of gas”. I can’t fault...
