Blues Vs. Dead Things

by Brad Lee on Oct 22, 2008 6:12 PM CDT

Sure, Detroit is Hockeytown. More like Hockeyslum.

By Brad Lee

As you may have heard, there is a hockey game in St. Louis tonight with a certain team from a certain city that calls itself Hockeytown. We beg to differ.

Here's the preview at Yahoo! Sports. No live blog tonight. And we kind of suspect many folks are headed downtown looking for a fight or 10. Feel free to fill the comments all the way up. We'll have something probably really, really late wrapping up, but feel free to come here for after-game reactions and such.

Oh, and fuck Detroit.

UPDATE: Thanks for everyone who contributed in the comments and helped others learn how to do italics and stuff. And to our new commenters, thanks for joining the reindeer games. We didn't have anyone approving them during the game but you're approved now. So have at it. Especially you, Mr./Mrs./Ms. Fuck Detroit. Don't be a stranger.

Cool, I hate seeing fish flopping around in the crease.

Man i’m in fucking Montana so I’ll be watching the game via NHL center ice.

Fuck Detroit and thanks for thinking of me— ;-)

Good call Brad. I caught quite a few games in the pre-season on justin.tv. It’s a wonderful thing. (Martha Stewart voice on that last sentence)

Great speed + McKee, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 7:49 PM CDT reply actions

Did Federko just say “speciable?”

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 8:01 PM CDT reply actions

FUCK DETROIT…AND CONKLIN. That really should have been a goal.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 8:18 PM CDT reply actions

This feels like a Pink Floyd moment. Is there anybody out there?

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions

No, Dan. It’s just you. And you’re only imagining that I replied to you.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 8:26 PM CDT reply actions

Is this like that time they tried to lie to Quaid and he saw the drop of sweat running down the good doctors forehead…and put a bullet through the guys forehead?

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 8:29 PM CDT reply actions

Fuck Detroit. Why are they always so much better than us???!!!

We’re playing like a God damn peewee team right now.

Time to tape on the foil?

by Fuck Detroit on Oct 22, 2008 8:45 PM CDT reply actions

fuck you conklin! FUCK YOU! I hate that bitch….

I was SO mad when I fond out he was starting, and not the POS osgood.

Yes, Dan, you’ll soon be on Mars. Say hi to the woman with three breasts for me will ya?

btw, thank you Brad for the link, I’ll use it for future games =D

by Christine on Oct 22, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions

Blues team speed looks a bit slow tonight.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions

Skeletor needs to start mixing up lines. These ones aren’t connecting tonight.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 8:51 PM CDT reply actions

Thanks for the notice Brad :-D I like watching games rather than just listening.

by J Stats on Oct 22, 2008 8:52 PM CDT reply actions

Did someone put cement in their cereal this morning? Why so friggin’ slow? We need to step up the physicality. Is that a word?

by Fuck Detroit on Oct 22, 2008 8:53 PM CDT reply actions

Pagan, I’ll do you one better. I’ll feel them for you. All three, at one time.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 8:55 PM CDT reply actions

Blues need to relearn how to play the Wings. Don’t take too long with the puck. Don’t try a pass when a Wing is inbetween you. They are too adapt to let you.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 8:58 PM CDT reply actions

Yea, the strength of youth is their energy and excitement. Their weakness is not knowing how to handle every situation. Fuck Detroit.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:01 PM CDT reply actions

At least they’re starting to be more physical. Hit the Wings and get them off their game. Make ’em flinch.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:02 PM CDT reply actions

SHIT.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:06 PM CDT reply actions

Fuck. Detroit.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:06 PM CDT reply actions

Fuck Niki Lidstrom.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:06 PM CDT reply actions

I’m hoping this is one of those important games throughout the year that where the rookies learn the hard way how to play the tough teams.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:08 PM CDT reply actions

AHHHHH BITCH

by Christine on Oct 22, 2008 9:08 PM CDT reply actions

They obviously didn’t come ready for Detroit tonight.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions

YEAH!

The old man isn’t doing too bad this year. Go Walt!

We really need a Gametime inspired chant of “FUCK DE-TROIT” everytime we see these douchebags.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:11 PM CDT reply actions

Nice to get one back before the third.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:12 PM CDT reply actions

Bernie’s wife looks like a cardboard ctout in the Flooring commercial.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:13 PM CDT reply actions

Definitely. Now it’s time to pull a 3rd period rally reminiscent of the game vs the Hawks last Saturday.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:13 PM CDT reply actions

You know, I never pay attention to those. I’ll have to start though, if for no other reason than to enjoy a life-sized cardboard cutout.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:14 PM CDT reply actions

have they done the “marry anne” chant yet?

by Christine on Oct 22, 2008 9:15 PM CDT reply actions

Kris Draper is a redheaded sack of shit.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:16 PM CDT reply actions

It seems like there’s just more of than 5 Red Wings skaters out there. They’ve swarmed our boys in the neutral zone by just clogging the far end of the red line with tamponesque jerseys. Aside from a few one man efforts from Stempniak and Kariya, we just haven’t been able to work the puck inside at all (obvious exception to the Tkachuk goal).

And why the hell is Kelly saying that McClement had a great chance at an open net when he had an angle that not even Mr. Toronto Maple Leaf Code Jamal Mayers couldn’t score from?

by Poor College Student on Oct 22, 2008 9:16 PM CDT reply actions

I certainly don’t miss the Whatever it Takes, Blue Note Code bullshit from last year.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:18 PM CDT reply actions

“Kris Draper is a redheaded sack of shit.”

You are a fountain of truth. Also, damn I wish I knew how to do the cool italics stuff.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:18 PM CDT reply actions

italics stuff[/i]

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:19 PM CDT reply actions

But that didn’t work.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:20 PM CDT reply actions

Haha, are they gonna show video of Draper’s kid shitting in it?

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:20 PM CDT reply actions

That wasn’t ice cream.

Emperor Palpa-, uh, Bettman, is controlling the game from New York.

by Pagan on Oct 22, 2008 9:55 PM CDT reply actions

I sometimes wonder. Especially with the number of times I’ve seen Blues players hauled down, and no call.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 9:56 PM CDT reply actions

That broken stick is why I hate the god damn Wings. Fuck Detroit.

Shame that TJ’s first regulation goal has to come in a loss to the Flying Tires

Yea, I feel sorry for him no doubt. On the other side, I do feel that this will be one of those once-in-a-lifetime learning experiences that the Blues youth can only gain from a tough loss like this.

by Dan on Oct 22, 2008 10:17 PM CDT reply actions

reason #692 for hating Detoilet: stupid fucking lucky-as-fuck breaks. GWG due to Wagner’s broken stick? what, do we score the assist to KOHO? FUCK DETROIT!!! FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES!!

by Tim on Oct 22, 2008 10:20 PM CDT reply actions

not wagner’s broken stick Backes’s. But one of my biggest reason for hating the Wings is the officiating always seems to go their way. They got away with so much in that game. I really felt the officiating was poor tonight. When Perron was pulled backwards or just after Oshie almost scored and the Wings’ player jacked him in the jaw and no call on the play. So yeah the NHL darlings get away with murder. But I have to give the boys credit for making it a close one late.

by Chris D. on Oct 22, 2008 10:58 PM CDT reply actions

broken fuckign stick right in front of my face when i snuck down for the 3rd period … fuck that an fuck detroit

by pdub on Oct 23, 2008 12:07 AM CDT reply actions

Class move by Walt tonight scooping up the puck from Oshie’s first NHL goal and giving it to him on the way to the bench.

by Milo on Oct 23, 2008 12:10 AM CDT reply actions

By the way, for whomever suggested it, I was talking to a guy sitting near the Top Shelf area and he told me that after the national anthem, during that weird lull that always occurs, some girl screamed out, “FUCK DE-TROIT!”

I really want to believe that it’s all your fault, commenters. You started this after all, not us

by gallagher on Oct 23, 2008 1:03 AM CDT reply actions

Even in loss, we always want to find a positive, so here’s mine: TJ Oshie’s first NHL goal came against Detroit. Here’s to many, many more against those bastids.

I would love your opinions about a proposed ne song for our two division rivals:

(To the tune of "My Darling, Clementine)

Build a bonfire
Throw the Red Wings on the top
Throw the Blackhawks in the middle

Anybody who was at the game sitting in the 304-305 vicinity getting fed up with horn-blowers? I think there were 5 horns in these sections last night, and none of them were good. Too weak, bad timing, and way too frequent. A couple of these were kids (should that be an excuse for poor horn blowing?), and it got so annoying that most people just ignored them. At one point late in the game I heard just 1 guy respond to one of the horns with a “Let’s go Blues!”

Almost as annoying as the guy sitting behind me talking all night about how going to Cardinals games is better than going to Blues games.
