Post-Game Pissiness.

You know what? Have some fucking pride in your team, your fans, your Bluenote. Yourselves.

Last night was a shitty effort and the Blues deserved to lose, but that doesn't make losing in that fashion any easier to take. They almost escaped with a point and a chance to win in the gimmick-assed overtime/shootout, but Chris Overpaid Mason somehow forgot how to stand up and hold the near-side post on a wraparound.

By the way, nice pass to the other team, Woywitka. You deserve an assist on that beaut.

If TJ Oshie could find a way to finish on all the chances he creates with his hard work, we might have had something to be proud about last night.

But we don't. Here are your ready-made excuses:

Next game is Saturday. Time to show up, pussies.

Sports cliches just don't fucking cut it.

Especially when you fucking suck ass and everyone knows it.

Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

Seriously. One of the FEW games I get to watch on my TV and not my computer, and I come home from the Thrashers suck-fest of bad goaltending (at least from Lehtonen) to see MORE sloppy passing, turnovers, bad puck control, and the ability to not stop basic shots. The Blues are a better team than this… no way this was an appropriate effort.

TJ needs to be given the key to the city – ditto with the rest of that line of 12 year olds. They applied more pressure than the rest of the team combined.

Yea...

Appropriately, The crowd went NUTS after that OBP shift in the third where Berglund skated around like he was he was playing one-man keep away from the entire Senators team. Heh, figures, the one time I’m able to make it to a game this year, and the Blues put in a dud performance.

I don’t want to give away what I’m going to write about for Saturday’s game in the paper, but it’s glaringly obvious that this team has an inflated sense of self worth. Being the last place team in the Western Converence, the Blues shouldn’t take any game for granted. But you see how they play San Jose, Boston, Chicago etc. And then you look at their record against L.A. (0-3), Phoenix, the end result against Ottawa. They lost to the Islanders.

If they play what they’re capable of playing against the below average teams, they’re in the middle of hte playoff hunt. Instead, they’re nine points out and the post season is a pipe dream.

You can talk about the injuries all you want, it’s the way they elevate their game against good teams and have letdowns against the poor ones that has undermined this season.

Like a cheating girlfriend

You just want to hug them but at the same time you want to pinch their head off.

We lost to the freakin Senators? I waited a week for that gutless performance?

Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.

Are the 3rd jersies confusing our defensemen? Do they forget what color they’re wearing each night? I can’t think of any other explanation for the number of picked-off passes they make in their own end. I thought it was just Jackman, but it’s everybody now. Holy crap.

I guess I’m the only one that wasn’t completely pissed about the game. sure, I was disappointed at the lack of efforrt by the Blues. but the Scottrade and staff made up for it. I had got a Top Shelf seat from a scalper outside. all my friends are at the other end of the arena, so I wouldn’t normally take those, but I did anyway as to not have to stand in that damn box office line, which I hate. I figured it was a plus because I could actually hope for a Cotton Eye Joe spolight so I could go down and boot that guy off in front of everybody…but I come back to my section at the end of the first intermission and there’s an usher clearing everybody out. there’s water damaged tiles straight above and the ceiling is leaking, so we’re getting moved to the CLUB SEATS WHOOOOO!!!! we’re talking extra plushy seats and free food and drink handed out by ushers throughout the game. $125 seats for $20 all because of a water leak….awesome! even better? 3 Senator fans that were sitting a couple seats over from me in my origional row, got up and moved to the next section in the middle of the 1st, so they didn’t get to go down to the sweet-ass seats.

I was thinking about getting club seats for my friend’s bachelor party, but now I’m definitely doing that!

Keystone Lake Zamboni falls through thin ice


A Zamboni took a dip in North America's largest groomed skating pond at Keystone Resort tonight.
A driver was grooming the lake at about 6:15 p.m., when the ice cracked and the 7,000-pound machine began to sink at about 6:15 p.m. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5-acre pond, resort spokesman Ryan Whaley said. The driver was not injured.
There was no word immediately on how soon the rink might re-open, but staff will examine the ice and remove the Zamboni Wednesday, Whaley said.
"They'll take it out and we'll see how it is," Whaley said of the machine and the safety of the ice around the crater.
With a lake that large, other areas could reopen immediately, he said.

Once it dries out, the machine is likely salvageable, he said.
Kenneth Waesche snapped a photo of the sunken ice machine when he stopped by Lakeside Village for a pickup game of hockey. His wife planned to do some skating.
Waesche said that the "thin ice" sign in the foreground of the photo was some distance away from where the Zamboni went in.
The lake is typically open from Dec. 18 to March. 28 depending on the weather, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
