Blues fall to Vancouver, but I ain't scared.
The Blues knock down 4 road wins in a row, and aim for number 5 in Vancouver. That's a tough challenger, but I a believer.
Far too much dwelling on the negative surrounding this team right now, especially when most of the negativity is manufactured. The 1st place (remember this) Canucks take on the Blues tonight at Rogers Arena.
Maybe the Canucks come alive upon returning home. If they don't, they are going to get spanked by the Blues, pure and simple.
