NHL Playoff Capsules: 4-14-11
The 2011 NHL Playoffs are a go! Half of the contestants in the race for Lord Stanley’s Cup kicked off their campaigns last night. Four sets of fans we’re happy and four others not so much. Here is how it all shook out. - – - The Red Army Sinks New York’s Finest | New...
Unscientific First Round Predictions
Happy Stanley Cup Playoffs! No, as Blues fans, we are not happy that our Local Six did not make it to the big tournament, but that doesn’t mean bloggers like me can’t pontificate as to how things will end up. This is where this blog post comes in. Mind you, this will be off-the-cuff and...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Sharks 03-19-11
Talk about your epic turn-arounds from one day to the next. I missed most of the Blues’ 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings, but learning the shot differential was +18 in favor of the Blues usually tells the story, and I’ve heard it was about that dominant. Not only that, there were two fights...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Islanders, 03-05-11
A much better effort by the Blues in losing 3-2 to a most-likely playoff-bound Washington Capitals squad did nothing to change my opinion about whether or not this season is over. (Yes, that was me.) It is, still. But it did let me know that there AT LEAST was some spirit in this club. As...
GameRecap 3-3-11: Blues Fall 3-2 to Capitals
We Arnott Good Enough. Caps Win 3-2 The skid continues as the Blues have lost 6 of their last 7 games. The culprit this time around? Mental mistakes and an inability to finish scoring chances. Teams that win consistently can do so 2-1, 4-3, and 6-5. The Note just couldn’t find a way to get...
Gameday 3-3-11: Blues @ Caps
Well blue bleeders, its “Plan B” time. The playoffs are more of a pipe dream than ever and there is a good chance the slide down the tubes continues as the St. Louis Blues (28-26-9, 65 Points) travel to DC to take on the Washington Capitals (34-20-10, 78 Points). Let’s start the 4th line auditions...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Capitals, 03-03-11
While there is little doubt the Blues’ future is bright, Tuesday’s brutal 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames left very few doubts about this season’s final path (folks, it’s not good). But at one point, to try to inject some positive energy into the club, Cam Janssen went at it with “The Greek God of...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Maple Leafs 01-06-11
Most good Blues fans like me would like to forget that the team ever played the Dallas Stars in the 2010-2011 season, especially considering the matchup problems created in those four games, and RATHER especially after how that 4-2 loss on Sunday ended up. But how could I forget this team? They gave me a...
Q’s Cuties: Winter Classic Edition
We watch a ton of hockey in this house, but it’s mostly Blues and Penguins on our tv. Thus, I HAD to do a Winter Classic edition of Q’s Cuties, especially since my favorite player in the league is Jordan Staal. And don’t worry, I don’t think I can curse him more than I already...
