Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Canucks 10-26-11

Might the boys be turning things around? Might there be a goaltender controversy? It’s still way too early to tell on either of those questions, but a great 60-minute effort from the St. Louis Blues resulted in a 4-2 victory over a hot Philadelphia Flyers squad that has taken the Eastern Conference by storm to...

Fight Card: Jackman vs. Simmonds

If the Philadelphia Flyers couldn’t beat the Blues on the scoreboard, they were hell bent to beat them physically on the ice. Wayne Simmonds carried the agitation banner in to battle (along with Scott Hartnell). In the waning 20 seconds of the second period, Barret Jackman had enough of his antics and the two threw...

What a nice come-from-behind victory by the Blues over the Carolina Hurricanes at home last night – proof that if you put enough shots on a goaltender, eventually the puck CAN bounce your way. So yes, the Blues won the game in overtime, 3-2, but as somewhat anticipated, there were no fights in the contest....

Yikes. After an incredible third period carried the Blues to victory Saturday, a lackluster third period and an overall peddling effort in front of the goaltender led to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.  What’s even worse? Despite the fact that George Parros was suited up, there were no...

What a day for the Blues yesterday.  First, the team is for sale (AGAIN . . . I’m planning a rant at St. Louis Game Time about this later).  Then a depleted squad decided to sleepwalk through a 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks at the Building Formerly Known As The Arrowhead Pond.  (To be...

In a seemingly-lethargic 4-2 San Jose Sharks win over the Blues Saturday night, we saw two fights by our team.  First, Ryan Reaves squared off with fellow youngster Brandon Mashinter and lost in proper fashion (video here).  Then, before being sent back down to Peoria, Ian Cole went at it with Benn Ferriero in one...

GameBlog 1-18-11: Blues vs. Kings

There is little rest for the weary as the St. Louis Blues (21-17-6, 48 points) return to Scottrade Center for a Tuesday night tussle. Kicking off a key five games in nine days set before the All Star Game. The Los Angeles Kings (24-20-1, 49 points) are in town and hope to avenge their 3-1...

It was an ugly affair during the 7-4 Anaheim Ducks win over the St. Louis Blues.  But two of the top fighting teams in the league decided to go ahead and beat the crap out of each other with fists anyway.  I don’t have the video or official results available to you right now, but...

For two main reasons, I dislike the Detroit Red Wings.  For one, they’re always better than the Blues, as last night’s 5-2 final would attest.  Secondly, they rarely drop the gloves.  And they didn’t last night.  Screw that.  The Blues have collected 30 fighting majors, good for third place in the NHL standings by themselves. ...

Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 1-9-10

With Cam Janssen and George Parros scratched for Thursday night’s affair in Anaheim, members of each team had to pick up the slack as far as fisticuffs go.  And since both squads go 10+ deep as far as fighters are concerned, there was no doubt it would happen – and it did. The only fight...
