This guys at St. Louis Game Time, our resident Blues blog, asked their readers to come up with reasons as to why the Blues are struggling this season. Their winner uses the laws of physics to explain everything away:
3. Newton’s Second Law of Motion: The relationship between an object’s mass (m), it’s acceleration (a), and the applied force (F) is F=ma. Therefore the force applied by an object is equal to the multiple of its mass and its acceleration.
How it applies to the Blues: Um David Backes you’re what, 6’3 and 225 pounds? Why are you not laying the hammer down on people? You need to get in there and throw your weight around like Walt when he’s trying to get the last doughnut. So plant that big body in front of the net and take control of the physical play; physics is behind you on this one.
If only the laws of physics could explain everything so eloquently.
