Hallelujah, Jay McKee is Healed!

By Brad Lee
The following is an excerpt from Jay McKee's meeting with reporters after practice Tuesday...Â
"Thanks for everyone praying for my quick recovery. I'm happy to announce that I will be back in the lineup Wednesday night in Chicago.
"I know I've missed a few games since I signed with the team, but I assure you, I do not have osteoporosis. Granted, I don't really like the taste of milk, but I don't think that's related to these freak injuries whatsoever. When you play a physical game and block shots like I do, you're bound to get dinged up. And despite the fact that Erik Johnson broke his foot in his first regular season game and Eric Brewer sprained some facial muscles the other day smiling and Al MacInnis' career was cut short by a freak injury and Chris Pronger almost died on the ice and had to have experimental surgery on his wrist to keep playing, the Blues defensemen are not cursed. At least we hope not.
"Personally, I feel like my health has really turned the corner since seeing a new specialist. I feel really blessed to have been treated by him. I'm handing out a picture to all the reporters of him doing his wonderful work. He might be the only one who can keep me healthy."

I think you are onto a great sponsorship idea for OSHA. Just like Ameren UE’s Power Play. By the way, how annoying was that at the Scotty? It got old during one game, by the end of the season I will be trying to choke the PA announcer.
Is it just me or has it seemed like an eternity since our last game? It could have something to do with the fact that I am pumped to see this team continue to succeed. Also, it will be nice to bring back the Black and Blue rivalry from the old Chuck Norris Division days. That used to be so much fun to watch those games back in the day.

Chris—to really foster the rivalry, there needs to be about 2-3 fights.
My favorite Blues-Hawks game (besides the playoff win when Belfour broke his stick after they were eliminated) was the St. Patrick’s Day Massacre during Scott Stevens’ season with the Blues. There were more than 200 penalty minutes and Adam Oates had to play defense because there were only three or four defensemen left who hadn’t gotten game misconducts.

It’s a sad state of affairs when a Blues-Blackhawks game gets scheduled midweek. With as empty as the United Center has been the last few season, I could have gotten tickets and taken at least a few dozen Blues fans up if it was a weekend game.

Someone needs to start a thread of Top 11 miracle cures for Blues defensemen:
11. Offer Molson and Tim Horton’s doughnuts to Jobu and ask that he lift curse.
10. Put them on a steady diet of Cheli’s Chili. It works for that dinosaur in Detroit.
9. Sacrafice the mascot.
8. Makes charm lockets using the mustache hair of Harold Snepsts.
Does anyone want to continue this?

7. The tears of Bob Plager could be used as a cure for anthing, but everyone knows Bob Plager doesn’t cry.
I was going to make a reference to the blood of a certain fan associated with a type of linen, but I thought that might be going a tad far.

6. Dip them in the protective waters of the River Mississippi. Feet first, of course, because we don’t want to risk any ankle injuries.

5. Have them read Game Time. It cures all ills. Yessir, gout, broken leg, rectal infections, Game Time heals them all. Game Time — sold only at your finer apothecaries and outside ScotTrade Center before all Blues home games.

just remind them that “broken bones are a disease as containgous as syphillis”

3. Put them in a room with John “The Golden Tie” Kelly, threaten to throw away the keys. Those legs will magically heal, I promise.

2. have Bernie Federko talk them out of being hurt
