Wow, That Sucked

when the goal light was stuck in the on position, the should have just left it that way.

…and the f***ing Rivermen are slip sliding away now, too.

1-0 loss in Des Moines to Dallas’ farm team tonight; 0-4-1 in February after a 13-2-1 January.

F***ing fabulous.

(insert “shaking head” emoticon here).

Send Ears down to Peoria so he can get his confidence back — if he still has any to recover — and so they can ship The Hyphenator back to the North Pole where he belongs.

Schwarz isn’t ready yet, so I guess LP is going to have to get a goalie back when he trades Jackman… unless they want Manny to drop dead from exhaustion and overwork by the end of the season.

B.

Maybe we can join Toronto & L.A. in the “suck-off” to this years top pick.

Just a question – with all the medical care and knowledge on a professional sports team, does anybody ever think to bring in flu shots for the entire team???

The Stars played well, but the team didn’t play too badly-except in net, which leads me to another question-how bad can the hyphenator be? I thought the days of goalies with sucky fundamentals were going to be a thing of the past with a full-time goalie coach. Two (maybe even three) of the first four Stars goals shouldn’t have gone in. Much different game at 2-2, or 2-1 even.

The good:
We were hitting tonight, and hitting effectively. This team needs to be a little more contentious, and play with a lot more of an edge.

The bad:
Nothing really here to note other than so many people with the flu.

The ugly:
Goaltending. At the least, you want your goaltending to not lose you the game. This franchise hasn’t had steady goaltending since oh… Grant Fuhr, and a reliable goalie since Keenan got pissed off at Curtis Joseph’s agent and decided to run him out of town and get an old goaltender named… Grant Fuhr.

Manny Legace’s play at the beginning of this season covered up a lot of the flaws on this team. It’s still a work in progress, and it’s better than 1 BC. Send no prospects in trades, and hope that we can develop Bishop. If not, better open the vault for Baraulin, or a real NHL goaltender in free agency.
Right now, I’d settle for a real NHL caliber backup.

Pat, that’s depressing, but…kind of true. Only three other teams have fewer wins than the Blues right now.

But they’ve got games in hand!!!!

Sorry, had a burst of optimism. Nevermind. They suck right now.

Same thing over and over. Shitty power play that couldn’t score in a women’s prison with a handful of pardons!!! Combine that with a goalie made of swiss cheese and that is the formula for a losing team.

Since when has “We were trying to do too much…” become the cliche of choice for losers. I facking hate that excuse. What does that even mean? I hear it all the time from athletes but have no idea how trying to do too much makes you lose. Anyone know?

I think the Note needs a game like this to get the ship headed in the right direction…

How bout this?

That was one of the first Blues hockey games I ever attended. No wonder I became a fan for life.

I think they need something like that to happen to fire them up a little and come together as a team more. They played a really physical game last night and really need to keep doing that.

they need to trade all the losers on the team. yeah that’s ryan johnson, jackman, slavador………………..

TKACHOKE! oh yeah he had the flu so bad. shit the fuck up. they just got sick of him whining on the bench and tried to cover it up.

trade these bums lose the rest of the games and score steve stamkos and a bunch of prospects and come out with more kids with real talent and a hunger to win. get rid of william dafoe and find a guy who wants to teach not dictate and a guy who likes to score goals unlike dafoe..

trade jackman to ottawa and get patrick eaves. get patrick eaves. bring in oshie and and call berglund iver here immediately. bring up the lute.

what does linglet have to offer an nhl club? what about seeing two kariya’s on the same team? cause this fucking version 1.SUCK-0 is obviously not working.

check out this article. i think terry has a big point here. i’m getting sick and tired of this three point bull shit also. even more so because a number of my brethen of blues fans are under the false impression the team is above five hundred.

so check it out.

where’s the live game blog? i’m not going downtown today.

I’m trying. Wordpress is not cooperating with starting a new post. I’m working on it.

yeah, they ought to go back to the ‘win or tie’ points system they always had. tied after the 5-minute overtime? done, both teams get a point and go home. you lose in overtime? no points, try again next time. the standings are ridiculous now, where last place’s points total would’ve won a division 5 years ago.

the game isn’t on tv tonight O_o

Channel 11

hmm, must’ve added that after the pocket schedules were made

alright! a power play garbage goal! go Kariya!

We still can’t get the blog to work right. Dammit.

The Deej will drop Voros before the night is through.

Maybe it’s a good thing the blog is broken at the moment unless you really want to read a string of obscenities.

THE BLOG IS STILL BROKEN.

Maybe this is a sign.

we sucked again. playing for a point when you need two and you don’t need minesota to even get one. brilliant.

i guess these players really hate the term rebuilding. they sure showed us that lately. again i will sound like a broken record—bring in the kids.

someone mentioned to me on hockey buzz they heard a rumor where we trade jackman and wagner for zach parise.

not a bad idea only we have a bagillion small skilled forwards in the system or playing on the blues. like lee, paul andy and brad for instance. of course since i heard ottawa was interested in jackman i was thinking about patrick eaves another small skilled guy.

maybe the blues feel they could sign either campbell or boyle in the offseason?

blues needs: finisher, power player, transitional d-men, goalie of the backup kind

blues tradable items: 1 or 2 defensive d-em, anything over 33 years old not named kariya

what the blues will get: draft picks and glen metropolit jr

For a team that had so many goalies in preseason camp that they were worried about finding playing time for all of them, they sure managed to not find a capable backup, didn’t they? Come back, Jussi Riksman, come back!

I think we need some laughter on this board!!!

The hyphenator is here!

lol

childhood trauma’s pretty right on. no need to worry about goaltending really till the start of next year. the blues season’s already over and they don’t know it yet.
