We Feel Bloated

By Brad Lee
Man, the chicken strips were better than expected. And ordering hot dogs was like playing the lottery, sometimes you got a nice hot and fresh one, and sometimes you got one so cold, it could have been leftover from last year. We didn't have to wait in line at all, which is probably a bad thing. Because we ate waaaaaay too much. And the Blues played waaaaaay too shitty. When the Predators are running up the score, only another box of popcorn and free soda will make it feel better. So that top picture, coulda been us last night.
In the comments, GTPD asked, what is wrong with this team? The Blues have a record of 3-3-2 in January. They haven't posted a win in four straight games. In the three regulation losses, they've allowed 17 goals. In the three wins, they've allowed four. Obviously it's been feast or famine for the Blues, especially when it comes to defense.
Legace could have some lingering effects from his big collision last week. The backup goaltenders are more fragile mentally than Britney Spears. And about everyone we know who follows the Note is getting impatient. Dicking around like this cost the Blues the playoffs last year. It could do the same this year.
Your thoughts in the comments, please. Meanwhile, this run has left us feeling a little ill.

What the hell happened was that this team needs solid contributions from everybody every night. Especially when Manny needs to be picked up. Apparently, this team isn’t quite as far removed from last year’s as we would like to think.
Our lack of scoring is killing us; teams are going to attack us like Nashville; they pinched their defensemen from the first whistle. It’s like the power play, when your PP sucks, other teams don’t worry so much about committing them. When your offense sucks, other teams worry less about pressing their own offense.

This team is killing…the comments. Holy fuck, was EVERYONE watching football today? One of our few comments today was from some Canadian puck bunny who loves Mike Modano and decided to give us a hard time about a post from November.

“Dicking around like this cost the Blues the playoffs last year. It could do the same this year.”
Pretty much hit the nail on that one. Sad, but true.
