Jonathan Quick Stands on His Head for 70 Minutes Only to Hand the Game to Alex Steen and the Blues in Overtime (Video)
Last night in St. Louis, the Blues dominated the defending Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings for the majority of the game. They won 44 of 69 faceoffs, outshot the Kings 36-19 in regulation, and had the majority of the scoring chances. So how on earth did this game end up going into overtime? The answer [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 4/30/2013 — Alexander Steen
The St. Louis Blues entered Game One of their first round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings having lost each of the last eight meetings between these two teams.

This Day In Sports History (March 19) — Brett Hull
It was on this day in 1991 that Brett Hull became only the second player in NHL history to score 80 goals in a season. Hull finished the year with 86 goals – the third most all-time, behind only Wayne Gretzky’s 92 in 1981-82 and Gretzky’s 87 in 1983-84. Brett also became only the fifth [...]

Fights And Cheap Shots Mar This Weekend’s NHL Playoff Action (Videos)
For the past two years I have chosen to discontinue the “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” segment during the NHL playoffs because as many of us already know, fights rarely, if ever, take place during the post-season. However, that has been far from the case during the 2012 NHL playoffs. In fact, all of [...]

Heading into Tuesday night’s action, both Brian Elliott and Jaroslav Halak were ranked in the top five in the league in [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — McQuaid vs. Crombeen — 2/22/12
Two of the NHL’s top teams squared off in St. Louis last night as the Blues hosted the Boston Bruins. And while everyone knows that these two teams can play hockey, we also learned that they can be quite effective when it comes to dropping the gloves and engaging in some fisticuffs as well. Stepping [...]

Blue Jackets Fan Throws Chocolate Covered Strawberry On The Ice (Video)
During last night’s game between the St. Louis Blues and the Columbus Blue Jackets, a chocolate covered strawberry landed on the ice, causing a stoppage in play.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Stewart vs. Stuart — 1/23/12
Those of you who do not like the fact that every hard hit in the game of hockey these days is often followed by an unnecessary fight probably won’t be very big fans of this bout. It occurred during last night’s game between the St. Louis Blues and the Detroit Red Wings, as Blues forward [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Polak Beats Up Lapierre — 1/12/12
If you are anything like myself, you probably don’t think much of Maxim Lapierre. And if that happens to be the case, you probably don’t mind seeing the Vancouver Canucks’ super-pest get beat up by a member of the opposition. We were treated to just that during last night’s game between the Canucks and the [...]

Chris Carpenter Skates With The St. Louis Blues (Video)
After winning the second World Series title of his career, perhaps St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter should consider taking a shot at wining a Stanley Cup next.

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/26/11 — Brian Elliott
Heading into the 2011-12 NHL season, Jaroslav Halak was pegged as the St. Louis Blues number one goaltender. Less than a month into the season, it appears as though he has lost that position to former Ottawa Senator goaltender Brian Elliott. Elliott further cemented his position as the Blues top goalie with his performance last [...]

There was certainly no shortage of entertaining fights in the NHL this season, making it incredibly hard for us to decide who was worthy of our “Frozen Fisticuffs Fighter of the Year” award.
