...the music they play at the beginning of the warm ups & shootaround?  It's instrumental, with the heavy synth and keyboard.  I know it's not "The Who" bit they play on the jumbotron. It's usually not my thing but it sounds pretty cool and I can't get it out of my head.  It might even make it to the mp3 player for my torture time on the elliptical or treadmill. 

Thanks in advance, and Let's go Blues!!!

Per @jprutherford on his twitter account, and I heard it on the radio...Jamie Langenbrunner and Jason Arnott sign one year deals to put on the BlueNote.  

This probably marks the end of free agency as far as the Blues are concerned...I don't really have any thing else to say to get the the 75 word barrier, but LET'S GO BLUES!  FUCK DETROIT!

The wife, son, and I were about 5 rows back watching the warm-up for the Blue & Gold game.  Ty Conklin is standing to the side watching the the forwards drill and whatnot.  He turns around and spots a family with a really young boy (18 months old at the max).  Making eye contact through his mask, he stick taps the glass and waves with his catching glove while tossing a puck over the netting for them.  It happened so darn fast, but it was a great moment and classy on ConkBlock's part. 

Let's Go Blues!

Read the article and click on the picture to see the whole spread.

It looks as if the stands are empty.  Most are just chilling and posing with their medals.  The only problem is that a player or 2 maybe slightly underage.  I say let them have their moment in the sun, they sure as hell deserved it.  If sheriffs are elected up there and the current one hauls them in front of  a judge on charges, there might be a problem around election time...just sayin.

"Handing the Wings their lunch like that has got to feel awesome for Blues fans."

A bit to early, methinks?

Do not mock the Hockey Gods. 

I realize that it's the wrong sport, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, shall we? 

No hating here, and I realize that it was not your guys' website to ponder the parade route...but I cannot resist the poke.  All plans as such should be kept locked in a safe, under armed guard, at a undisclosed location, not even to be mentioned until you have at least win #15 in the playoffs.  Then the hockey gods would be pleased.

So say we all.

Let's go Blues.

Read it right here...

It's a damn fine read about two franchises going in two different directions.  I don't have a serious hate for the 'Habs, but they do have a very demanding fanbase that can eat you alive.  Given that Carey Price taunted the crowd back for jeering him ala Patrick Roy, it will be interesting to see what the off season will be like for the one of the most celebrated franchises in the history of the NHL. 

Lot's of Love for the Blues from the press in the north...

Let's go Blues.

Straight from Puck Daddy. 

I can't believe that somebody wrote a song about this sniveling douchbag of a hockey player.  I would almost say it wasen't worth my time, but I'm glad I took the 3 min. to listen.

I'm so sick of Sidney Crosby, and the way he plays.  The constant diving, sniveling every time he gets a penalty.  It's like watching any of the Detroit Red Wings play (fuck detroit).  As a matter of fact, I predict that sometime in the near future (like after the 2012-13 hockey season) somebody will be wearing Ranger Blue.  Or better yet the wing and the wheel.

This is for DanGNR:

I forgot that "fuck detroit" was the filler for the dreaded 75 word minimum.

Fuck detroit, hawks suck, preds blow.

preds blow, hawks suck, fuck detroit.

hawks suck, fuck detroit, preds blow.

preds blow, fuck detroit, hawks suck.

fuck detroit, hawks suck, preds blow.

hawks suck, fuck detroit, preds blow.

hollweg spits, tootoo swallows, and Yzerman gargles. 

And avery is there to clean up the sloppy seconds.

Fuck detroit, hawks suck, preds blow.

fuck detroit, hawks suck, preds blow.

fuck detroit, hawks suck, preds blow.

Lets go Blues!!!

This is a photo essay from Time Magazine, about Detroit.  All I have to say is, "wow." 

I work in East St. Louis, and I see some run down neighborhoods on my way to work every, but this has to take the cake.

I give you "HockeySlum".

75 words long?  Really?  Who came up with that idea?

I'm just making up stuff to fill 75 words here...

Seven more words to go.  I think.  Let's see what happens when I click "publish" one more time...

Gosh, can't remember what period it was, as I was a little buzzed.  There was a TV timeout.  On the JumboTron they were showing blues fans (who were being cheered) and rangers fans (who were getting booed).  The camera settled on a rangers fan who was ignorant to the fact that he was on camera.  He was seated, with his arm around his wife/girlfriend, with that arm holding his beer. 

A guy in a blues jersey was sitting right behind them, and he stuck his straw in the dude's beer and drank most of it, while all on camera.  Pretty funny stuff. 

However, it all went so smooth I wonder if it was staged...

Did anybody out there get a pic???
