I might apologize a teeny bit to the Canuckleheads, but never could I do the same to Chicago. If I started The Great Fire I would not say I’m sorry. The ‘Hawks were born to be hated, not pitied like the Cubs. Never did I think that I could loath them more, then Denise Savard whines about how rough we played them. What a twat. In closing, sorry
’Nucks fans, we let you down. To all of you fans in the Windy City, glad to help your girls to a quicker summer, I hope they don’t chip their nails on the golf course.

’ears to you vancouver!!!

I’m sorry that I am a miserable wretch that failed to support the honorable team by hoping they finished 28th in the league when the wheels fell off in January.

I’m sorry that I hope they lose their next two games against the Bluejackets and I’m sorry that I hope the Thrashers win their last game against the Lightning.

I’m sorry I wanted David Perron to play more and that I don’t understand why he needs to be taught a lesson for [among other things that I’m sure that I don’t understand] letting his frustration show when teammates can’t handle his perfectly acceptable passes.

I’m sorry that I want Ears to play the last two games, that I’m not angry at him for failing to be mentally strong, not playing better when the chips were down and for being willing to tender him a qualifying offer and give him another chance to backup Manny.

I’m sorry that players’ production declines as they age.

I sorry that I don’t care if the 07-08 coaching staff stays or goes and that I hope Joe Mullen gets to be a head coach in St. Louis.

I’m sorry that the Canucks and Hawks didn’t earn enough points to finish ahead of the despised Nashvilles [Predators is SUCH a dumb name and Preds is just worse].

I’m sorry that I expect 08-09 to go pretty much as 07-08 has.

I’d like to apologize to everyone reading the live blog last night for not typing a single word in the third period. It might have distracted you from what was happening on the screen. Sorry.

Also, I’d like to apologize to all of the diehard Red Wings fans for lumping them in with all the lacking in sense of humor bandwagon jumpers. Joe and Larry, I’m sorry.

I apologize for not believing that this was a playoff team in November.

I apologize for thinking that Manny could play all 80 like he played the first 20.

I apologize to Manny for the team not getting him a backup.

I apologize to the Hyphenator for the team having to use tiny letters on his souvenir jersey.

I apologize to the Hyphenator for the team not giving him a chance in net after the collapse of the top two rungs on the franchise’s goalie ladder.

I apologize for not torching Andy Murray over his handling of David Perron.

I apologize for believing that we pulled off a second Boston robbery in getting Ears.

I apologize for being entirely too serious about a team that’s going to be in the draft lottery again.

I apologize for believing that Eric Brewer would use his strength more on the ice, and consistently play like a good #2 defenseman.

I apologize for accepting Eric Brewer for what he is – a one-side of the ice #3 defenseman with good straight-ahead skating speed and weak change of direction.

I apologize for not being able to put the hockey encyclopedia in Lidstrom’s
brain into Erik Johnson’s head. For some reason, my wife keeps telling me that chopping off Lidstrom’s head for the transfer procedure isn’t a good idea.

I apologize for believing that this team will be better next year.

With about three minutes left in the third, I had a consolatory text message all typed out and ready to send to my Blackhawks-fan friend in the very likely scenario of the Blues NOT tying or winning the game. It’s comforting to know that my typing was not for naught. I would have much rather seen the Blackhawks make a last-minute playoff bid than the Preds. To my friend, I sent my apologies for these last two games and got this message in return… “There’s always next year, right? But I too blame Hannu. Man, he sucks.” Who said Blues and Blackhawks fans can’t agree on anything.

on behalf of the nhl officiating crew i would like to appoligize to vancouver and chicago as well and matter of factly offer no regret or appology to the blues at the same time. how is that possible you may wonder? well consistency isn’t our forte one could say. sometimes goals are reviewable except when they would eliminate any of bettman’s pet projects that are in fact mostly failures. to the blues i hoped you enjoyed how are whistles only came alive to screw your team. i personally chuckled last night when kariya was behind the net and that predators defenseman swiped his legs from beneath him and turned and looked at me with a face full of guilt and shame. he was certainly more shocked than kariya when i made no call.

still my faovorite the other night was waving off that obvious goal. all you fans who booed and chanted that we suck, i just have one question for you, “Who sucks now bitches?” hahaha

this message was approved by colin and the nhl refs association—sukas

I would like to apologize to the giant furry Blues mascot that kind of looks like a gerbil or rat-like creature. Dude, sorry I stole your pants.

i apologize for never being wrong.

for dooming kariya claiming " Kariya didn’t crack the top 30 in points scored while on a playoff bound Nashville team, and simply doesn’t score many goals."

for dooming murray by saying “Andy Murray didn’t win any coaching awards despite what I hear from Local fans. The last time Andy Murray won a playoff series, Alexander Khavanov was leading the St. Louis Blues in minutes… What does the mood ball say about Andy winning a playoff series or award this season? Chances aren’t good.”

for asking about the top brass"They seem intent in stock piling goalies and second tier defensemen. I suppose having 15 goalies you are afraid to pass though waivers and 17 "future Bryce Salvadors" has merit in a compulsive, twitching, Monk sort of way.

for loving brewer to much “The Blues do even worse in providing any spark form the Blueline. Eric Brewer, playing for a contract, woke up finally in the ‘Note and lead the Blues in points. He was the 46th ranked NHL defenseman in points”

for this: “Legace will not get the Blues into the playoffs alone.”

and finally this: “Guerin’s blues output is likely to exceed Kariya’s, and with other main players like Weight and KT getting that much futher past prime producing age, Lee Stempniak and oh let me pull a name out of the hat, ummm, Petr Cajanek (cough cough) are going to have to score goals at rates they have yet to achieved to keep the Blues a scoring threat”

ultimately, we can’t apologize enough for the blues playing how the blues should have played this season. we are ALL just sick about it.

I would also like to apologize to Vancouver fans. However I shall NEVER apologize to people from that city 300 miles to the north. I just can’t do it man

I apologize to the word “fuck” for defaming it by placing next to that awful word “Detroit.”

I’d like to apologize to myself for having to live so close to Detroit…

I apologize for splitting my fanity between the Blues, Wings, and Flames… and Sharks too, I suppose.

I’m sorry for getting drunk at that one game and saying inappropriate things about that one player. I’m also sorry I can’t remember which games this happened and which games it didn’t.
