Blues Kill Anaheim; Ducks Fans Demand Reverse Tacos

OK, so technically it's Big Macs now, but excuse us for not putting the McDowell's Faticizer Burger in our headline.
We'd love to break this one down in excruciating detail, but the fact of the matter is that it's Saturday night and we have more drinking to do. And you're likely passed out or going out, depending on your age/intake. So bullet-point style it must be.
- Oshie finally gets off the schniede by
kickingdeflecting in his first goal. Deflecting. Yeah. Sure. But you know what? Sometimes weird plays get you out of slumps (ask Mark Grace), so we'll take it and we hope this means that it won't be long before the fans are chanting his name in unison again. - Speaking of chanting, we'd almost forgotten how bad Paul Kariya dirty-dicked Anaheim until the crowd booed the shit out of him all night. We took two things away from this: 1). it brought back the memory of how bad we'd hate a great fan-favorite player if he was not qualified as a restricted free agent in order to negotiate with him a new, more cap-friendly contract only to have him then flip a bird and roll out of town and 2). it's quite impressive that the fans continue to remember this, boo the shit out of him and keep it up even after their team is down by four late in the third period. Color us impressed.
- Andy McDonald makes Brad Lee look like a witch with his impressive night. That dude is getting better somehow, right? He didn't even get drafted. In any of the nine rounds. In any of the three years he was eligible. Silly.
- Speaking of McDonald, that second goal was poetry. And not just poetry, but more like poetry fucking a beautiful painting, while listening to some classical music.
- On a related note, Darren Pang reacted to the goal with a, "holy jumpin'!" So we can all get used to hearing a lot of that. We love Panger, but that might just get a little old. On the other hand, as the wife pointed out correctly, "Holy jumpin' is all he's got. He sure can't use your 'poetry' analogy."
- Erik Johnson will be running for mayor at some point in his career, bank on it.
- There is a 50/50 chance that Carlo Colaiacovo is leaving St. Louis this summer as a free agent. If he does, there is a 100% chance that he talks about how St. Louis resurrected his career for the rest of his life.
- Chris Mason thinks Ty Conklinis an awesome guy to be his netminding partner. For now.
- David Perron is the new Brad Boyes. Hit the 4x6, Frenchie. Hit the 4x6.
- Brad Boyes is the new Alex Steen. He did a great job of putting the puck on net and his on-ice vision was great. His pass to McDonald that started the poetry fucking art while listening to a maestro was pin-point, picture-perfect and some other cliche we can't come up with all in one.
- Keith Tkachuk's spin-o-rama move in the third period must have been done to win a bet. Nothing else makes sense.
Blues travel to Pittsburgh for a game against the Pens Tuesday. If this team shows up for that game, expect all your lame-ass friends to jump back on the bandwagon.
[Unofficial catalogue of reasons why this post will not be linked on sbnation.com or anywhere else on 'The Network': weird McDowells' reference not good for business; two allusions to drinking alcohol; slumpbuster reference; "dirty-dicked"; three references to porn-style action of art on art while listening to art; 1 shit, 2 fucks and 1 ass; a massive conspiracy aligned against us.]

Great write-up, Juan
especially the italics at the bottom… I’ve figured that we work “Blue” too much for the front page. Which sucks, because you/we should get the same exposure that the G-rated ones get.

I'm the complete opposite
I’ll be rejoicing about the fact that I’ll actually get to see the game through my cable provider. Mediacom can bite my ass.

Aw, balls.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Not sure if I can keep up the ritual...
it seems that the Blues prefer to win when the fiance & I do a jagerbomb per goal scored plus at least 1 for pre-game. While this is not an issue for Friday/Saturday night games, weekday games could pose a problem. Lets hope that this win got them rolling and they won’t need our help on a game to game basis…Otherwise, I’m going to need some serious help both attending work, and funding our drink of success…
As far as tonite goes, it was SO worth it! I can sleep in til whenever the fuck I want tomorrow and recover slowly through the day though I am not that bad off at the moment all things considered.. Problem is, I tend to sleep very poorly after so much Red Bull. We’ll see what happens.
No matter what, it was worth it.
LETS GO BLUES!!!

Maybe if you're lucky, we'll beat the Pens 1-0.
And maybe the Rams will win 10 games this year.
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

We looked really good tonight
Let’s hope this shocks Oshie into action.
It’s great knowing that the backup can go out there and play amazing.
I could go on but at this point it’s kinda pointless since there wasn’t much bad to say. Maybe BJ taking a bad penalty and taking the bait to fight when there was no need, but other than that even he played great.
Let’s keep it rolling and go kick Crosby in the nuts

Finally
About time this team played like the team the should be. Carry the momentum into Shittsburgh I say. Oh and FUCK Pittsburgh, they are on the same level as Detroit for me with their piss-towel waving football fans.

Wow
I didn’t realise quite how hated Kariya was over there in Duck land. I think I’ll leave my Kariya tshirt at home when I visit.
On the other hand, Happy Meal seems to still be loved. I KNEW I shouldn’t have got rid of McDonald in my fantasy team.
And Cam can play! Who’d have thunk?? I thought he did well with his 7 minutes.

I just watched a reply
of that goal, the angles are pretty good for that to be the case.
But I think EJ just had enough hockey sense to center it knowing hiller was out of the crease and Happy Meal was trailing the play. JMHO though.

Mmmm
Having a 235 pound defenseman with that kind of hockey sense and skill is so awesome. 6 points in 6 games and +5 in “only” 20:30 in ice time. If Petro develops like he could….that’s the foundation of an utterly dominating team.

So about Perron
I have him in a fantasy league and am about to drop him…anyone that can actually watch games tell me if he’s still playing well and just not producing, or if he is just sucking as bad as his stats say?
by stlfan on Oct 18, 2009 9:24 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
hes playin ok
he has good quality chances he just cant hit the damn net.. i think even if he isnt playing well its still to early in the season to drop him.. hes still gonna be good for at least 40-50 points.. give him time.. were just now catching fire it seems like

Yup, I missed it.
I will not try to do that too often. But when one of my cousins (and probably one of my best friends) gets married . . . uhh, I kinda have to be there. It just happened to be in Cleveland, and I got home about three and a half hours ago.
Looks like it was a bang-up game. A real wingding. A real hullabaloo. A real . . . fuck, I love that old timey shit sometimes.
GO BLUES!!!!!
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Post-game H1N1 edition...
Well, quarantined at home as I am, I finally got a chance to watch the Ducks game. Wow. Now THAT’s the team I was expecting to see. We actually imposed our will on them for significant stretches of play. After all of Murray’s preaching to Perron about defensive responsibility, it’s interesting to see him on the PK. Now, if he could somehow use those golden hands offensively, the team should take a leap forward.
I’ll be waiting to see if there’s another source for tomorrow night’s game. DirecTV ya know.
