Gone Shootin'; Blues v Ducks GDT

 

E9e92ec2-c123-4d89-8a3d-a7c653c1904c_medium

Usually when a hockey team takes a bad beat you'll hear the players and coaches talking about how important it is to quickly get back on the ice; to get into another game; to put it behind them.

The same thing can probably be said for a battered and beaten Blues team that came up with a big win last night. The longer they're allowed to soak in the win, which could have been an even bigger win if not for the solid goaltending of Evgeni Nabokov, the more they might start to believe that they aren't that undermanned, after all.

But you know what? They are undermanned. And against a Ducks team that is struggling a little, they'd better go back to the mindset that they need to play perfect for 60 minutes. Because what struggling means for the Ducks isn't exactly the same as what struggling means to the Blues.

Starting a game less than 24 hours after you started your last game is a bit of a bitch, but it could be worse: you could have just flown into town after losing a game just last night in Dallas, as the Ducks did.

As per the usual, most of the regulars are down at the DrinkScotch this Sunday eve, so the GDT is here for you to rant/rave/welcome fans from the other team/catch them backstabbing you on their own site minutes later.

For those of you who enjoy a pre-game report, the NHL was kind enough to provide one.

For those of you who want to see what the Duck fans have to say, the Battle of California has you covered.

For those of you who just like to bunker down with fellow Blues fans and not bother with any of that other stuff, well, you're already home.

I need it too

if you recall, I spent the entirety of last night’s game on a train to Chicago. Glad to see my poem’s prediction of a win was correct – even if the final score and Cheechoo’s untimely demise was not. So I’m up here in the Windy City with no tv access to the game.

Sorry…no poem from me…I used up all my creativity in the train station.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Thought I had the phone all charged up to blog from high atop Drinkscotch, but I was wrong. With 10% left, I need it for Metrolink and the MP3.

Looks like I’ll just have to go home after the game with post-game commentary, as usual.

What kind of elevation you get for those hikes out there. I did a couple at 12,000 in Colorado in September and one at 9,800 in Arizona.

by Pagan on Dec 28, 2008 6:25 PM CST up reply actions  

this is what it says for Sweeney RIdge – This 5.7 mile out and back hike is moderately easy, with about 600 feet in elevation change. Trailhead elevation is around 655 feet. The highest elevation of the hike is around 1213 feet. Sneath Lane Trail climbs steadily, with one short steep section. Sweeney Ridge Trail is nearly level.

It actually wasn’t that bad. Did it thru a group on the net. Was bout 30 of us there.

Ang will give you the detail on San Bruno

But Bay Area elevations don’t get much higher than 3800 feet (Mount Diablo). Mount Whitney, of course, is the highest point in the lower 48, at over 14k. But that’s a ways away from the Bay. Half Dome is over 8,000 feet. 4800 feet relief from the valley floor – takes your breath away, literally.

Well, hell, I guess if they can’t beat a team like Houston, they don’t deserve to be in the @#$%ing playoffs…

And for those who haven’t heard, Ben “Goalie Of The Future” Bishop and the Rivermen gave up three goals in the last 2:37 of the game last night, blew a 3-0 lead, and lost in the goddamn shootout, 4-3.

I heard that Coach Payne was pretty pissed off… I don’t know for sure, because I waited around outside the locker room for a half-hour after the game, on the advice of the trainer, and he never came out. I sent him an e-mail this morning, but haven’t gotten a reply back yet.
