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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 03-22-12
Last night’s game was beyond frustrating but was bound to happen eventually. The St. Louis Blues lost 4-3 to the Anaheim Ducks in a game where it appeared the Ducks really wanted to have more than the Blues, which has not happened too often this year. Fights? There were none, so the Blues stick and...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 02-03-12
Geez, that was a while away from hockey, wasn’t it? I can barely remember who played against the St. Louis Blues in their last game . . . oh wait, now I remember! It was the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were able to sneak out of St. Louis with a 3-2 shootout win. Despite another stupid hit...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues 11-22-11
The boredom of the Twin Cities strikes our favorite club once again. The St. Louis Blues looked poised to win Saturday over the Minnesota Wild, but during the course of the action at some point, things went awry. A goal was scored late by Minnesota to tie, then the game went to the shootout, and...
Kings Shut Out Blues | October 18, 2011
Game #6 St. Louis Blues at Los Angeles Kings. On the last game of their first road trip of the season, the St. Louis Blues matched up with the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues dominated the Kings in L.A. lately, but the power shifted back to the home team beating St. Louis 5-0. Jaroslav Halak...
Throwdown Lowdown – Blues @ Kings 10-18-11
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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues, 01-18-11
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...
Throwdown Lowdown -Blues @ Kings, 01-13-11
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...
Throwdown Lowdown – Kings @ Blues – 12-16-10
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 @ Canucks 1-27-10
As expected, the fists flew in Stampede City on Monday night. As anticipated, one of the fights was between Cam Janssen and Brandon Prust. And as we all know he can, Janssen took down Prust, with an impressive finish to boot. Unfortunately, Janssen got involved with Brian McGrattan earlier in a matchup that proved to...
