Blues Postgame
Sorry folks, I just don't have it in me tonight. Besides, Keith Tkachuk will tell you exactly what I'd say: it's not good enough and they need to find a way to change things because they are not playing well.
Nice to see that David Backes might not be scoring, but at least he's got the marketing message down: nice name drop of the "piece of the puzzle" slogan.

Thoughts the morning after.
The Blues just looked lifeless and disinterested the last two games. They are not winning the battles for the puck, and they are playing almost scared out there. No one wants to cut across the middle, every time we break into the zone, the players immediately go to the perimeter instead of trying to cut in towards the net. Yes we have 60+ shots in the two games, but how many of those were legitimate scoring chances? 4? 5? It seems like we are trying to play a speed/finesse style of game, but we do not have those types of players even if we are healthy (save McDonald, Kariya, and maybe Berglund). Our bread and butter has always been crashing the net and getting rebounds, yet lately we will see the puck sitting in front of their net with 0 Blues around to stuff it home. It almost makes me wonder who the hell is the leader of the team on the ice right now. I would imagine Walt would be taking on that role and with Brewer back maybe him, but I am wondering if we are really missing Jackman’s presence because though he makes mistakes he always seems to be busting his ass out there and sets a good example in terms of effort. Bottom line, I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong, all I know is they better fix it quick or we will find ourselves in another miracle needed end of season situation. (yes I realize its only November, but it would be nice to go into the stretch run on the inside already instead of outside looking in).

All the mouth-breathing hackjobs who think Andy Murray oughta be fired . . .
are officially invited to eat a bag of dicks.
When Mike Kitchen was fired back in ’06, it was clear at that point that his team was not playing for him anymore. He had lost them. They were not playing hard, they were not playing cohesively . . . they were not playing hockey. It was dreadful, but it was relatively clear who was at fault . . . the coaching.
Fast-forward to ‘09, and you have a team that is full of talented hockey players under a clear system with a consistent message. The players ARE playing hard for the Green Goblin. They’re attempting to play cohesively. The players are simply playing like shit. And something has to be said for that. That’s not on Andy. That’s on the players themselves.
So if you want to go all STLToday.com forums on us and profess your love for an Andy Murray firing, go the fuck ahead. But remember that you’re invited to eat the Official Donut King Bag-O’-Dicks Deluxe™ when you do.
Also remember that this could change soon. But at this point, I’m not seeing a coach that’s lost the room, and that’s at least worth something. I would think JD agrees with that.
Alright, I’m off my soapbox now. Carry on.
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

I don't even know what to say at this point
Damnit we’re better than this and we have been playing better than this. We haven’t been great but we’ve been better than this. While we might not have been perfect the fact that we haven’t scored a single PP goal at home is fricking insane. How many times have we tried to clear the zone to have it bounce off a skate? I’m not saying we’re great cause we have been a bit lazy but I think someone did something in Sweden to anger the Hockey Gods after the game was over.
Lets just hope this is the only time we see below .500 all year

Perhaps..
A few thoughts to help out… not that I know anything..
Force ALL players to watch the last two periods of BOTH Sweden games OVER AND OVER again until Thursday.
Start playing dodgeball.
Have a scavenger hunt here in St. Louis.
Two words… Naked Shootout.

New fucking Rule
You can’t decide everything is fucked up till 20 games in. Thats 1/4 of the schedule and should be applied for every sport. My personal opinion is we don’t have enough people getting to the front of the net messing with the goalie and we need to try a different strategy to get control of the front of their net. Either way we have plenty of talent and people willing to work hard, we just need to figure out what our strategy is and how we are going to do what we do.
I have no problem with Murray, or any of the players on the team we just haven’t figured out what it takes to win right now. In case you forgot close to half our team hasn’t played 100 games in the NHL, it takes a while to figure out how to win after the adrenaline rush of making it big wears off.

Finally going to post my sober recap
Ok yes I was very eloquent in my drunken ramblings at like 3 in the morning…or 4 for those who do not subscribe to the “daylight savings time.”
It was my birthday and with the way the blues lost….decided to heavily drink
1. How does nobody know how to do the timewarp when they go to a halloween game? Not that important though.
2. Clarence is awesome. He let me have another sticker to put on my sign, which I proudly displayed around the concourses. Ill probably do that costume for a 3rd year in a row.
3. Costume was awesome…Priest costume with the saying…I LOVE BOYES #22. I had at least 10-12 people randomly come up to me and take my picture. I had countless others laugh/ say THATS AWESOME! or something along those lines….I had 3…older people say thats horrible/disgusting/terrible.
4. I dont think the Blues know that you score more goals IN FRONT OF THE NET. Too much playing behind the net.
5. Dump and chase is turning into as my g/fs brother says…the dump and flush. play #2.
6. I made it on the jumbotron for like 5 seconds then they went back to the game…Couldnt display my sign.
7. Took my sign during the powerplay dance and stood up pumping the sign in the air.
8. Florida panthers were a bunch of pussies…not wanting to fight.
9. Awesome costume at the game…the guy at the blues shoot twice end…BLIND REF! had the cane and glasses…..on a noncall where the guy knocked over Roboto by the goal he jumped up tapped the cane a few times got a bunch of laughs then sat down.
10. Came back to the house…did a quick tour of everybody with the priest costume then changed into my Dr. Horrible costume! worked out very well.
11. Decided it would be a good idea to post a wonderful eloquent post on here….good idea! EVEN BETTER IDEA….do it on an IPOD TOUCH with the small keyboard.
So did any GTers see me at the game? Or was it just mostly random drunk college age people that laughed their asses off at my costume?
I will do a fanpost of some of my pictures. If anybody took a picture of me….randomly…I would like it if you can.

We've got the Monday Night Miracle
Now we have the Halloween Haunting.
I was hoping to wake up from that nightmare with it just being a bad dream but the fish wrap snapped me back to reality this morning.
Unfucking acceptable is all I can say. Gutless, heartless, grab-asstic hockey is what that was.
I guess I could go with the “Let’s just forget it and move on” but that whitewash is getting real tired.
And we fall even farther behind the Blackhawks.

Oh and in case anhybody missed it...
We’re now sub .500 and LAST in our division. Maybe the Pollyannas. can make some ginger bread out of that.

I hate gingerbread.
And I’m fairly not happy with the way things are going so far. Yes, we have a lot of hockey ahead of us, but the first month sets the tone and lays the foundation.
Of course, at least we’re not Carolina.
