Top 11 Ways Blues Fans Passing Time Until Thursday Night

by Brad Lee on Oct 7, 2009 2:38 PM CDT Comment 51 comments

11. Sticking head in freezer to better acclimate to temperature change.

10. Practicing the bicurious power play dance.

9. Watching the youtube clip of clinching the playoffs last season. Every 10 minutes.

8. Yelling "Osssssssgoooooood!" for no good reason. And then apologizing to whoever is in the room.

7. Trying on the third jersey followed by the Oshie followed by the Tkachuk followed by the Hull while ignoring the Gretzky.

6. Watch Saturday's recorded game from Sweden, pause when they show Mike Babcock's stunned face on the screen near the final horn and laugh. Again.

5. Look at tickets, quadruple check date time, row and seat number. Go to Google to make sure Atlanta still has a team.

4. Watch recorded game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, pause when they show the crying Red Wings players on the bench and laugh. Again.

3. Watch Cardinal playoff game. Scream at TV for Pujols to freaking check somebody!

2. Finalize paperwork on second mortgage for season's beer money.

1. Refresh Game Time every 10 minutes.

Bitching at DirecTV for being asshats.

Fuck and Detroit go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Only Peanut Butter and Jelly are good and Detroit is the very proof that God, Allah, and Buddha all have a sense of humor, after all. Good joke, guys.

I thought I was the only one doing number 9.

And the power play dance is the epitamy of douche baggery, which is why I love it.

Wow..

I have watched that portion of the clinching game at least a dozen times…
I STILL get good bumps and totally get something in my eye when I watch it… wow… just wow…

trying to figure out

how the red wings combine so many euros and junk on the same team.

oh this might give a clue

Shanny talks to fellow wing

then again, his bad habit is pretty damn bad

I thought that "dance" was relatively new

but from the quality of this footage you can tell it’s been around since the late 60’s:

Are you sure thats a hockey game?

It reminds me of footage of the Loch Ness Monster I’ve seen.

Fucking Detroit.

Then going to the doctor for an STD check.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

#3 is fact for me tonight.

And frankly, if Albert was as good at hockey as he is at baseball, Gretzky would be a distant has been.

And Atlanta damned well better still have a team… I plunked down cash on those tickets dammit. I do NOT want to watch the Hawks.

That being said, Blues are gonna win tomorrow night. Hands down. Pavelec’s like Howard, except he’s not fully developed, wheras Howard’s 25 and might just suck for a lifetime. That being said, we took advantage of the kid last year, and we will again.

Any word on any sort of joint GDT with Birdwatchers Anyon? Falconer shot me a line asking for advice on how to do them… I told him to watch one of ours. I kind of figure that trial by fire’s the best way to go.

I started...

a Blues blog a couple years ago because I wanted really badly to have the SB nation Blues blog. After two or three entries, I realized I had neither the creativity nor literary prowess to entertain the droves of SBNation readers. So I’m stoked someone started up a Blues blog on SBNation.

Ive found that another video helps.....

The fight between Cujo and Tim Chevaldae back in the early 90’s is getting me all hyped up…..How about a GOALIE fight tomorrow????

I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

Can Mason knock some actual NHL Level ability...

… into Pavelec? Hard and repeatedly?

That being said, I haven’t seen a good old fashioned goalie smackdown in forever and a day.

have you seen the video of Osgood whining after the fight? it’s so damn pathetic it’s hilarious

“At least he could do is… pick on someone his own size… I mean geeze”

And I agree, definitely need more goalie fights

You know...

… you should probably keep watching Philly, then… Emery was in the last good goalie fight that I saw. Hell, he fights with teammates, 80 year old men, puppies, unicorns, and world peace.

Yeah, he should be right at home in Philly.

When I start getting too antsy waiting for the home opener

I just think back to opening night a couple years ago when towel boy was part of the opening ceremony. Then I go rinse the taste of vomit out of my mouth.

Let's see

I’ve done #6 a few times, since I have both on tape I’ve watched both celebrations at the end.

except that today to work I wore my Lowry jersey. Tomorrow may have to be my husbands Bassen.
Getting ready to do #3 as we speak.

Oh it's about time

Now time for some hockey in the Good Ol’ USA. Got my Hull jersey (circa 1992-1993) on at work today (and before anyone says anything, I haven’t bought a new jersey for a while, those things cost MONEY, although I’m talking the wife into getting a new one for Christmas), and well some of my coworkers have NO idea what time this is…except for the Fuck Detroit fan who sits in front of me

You guys are killin' me today...

I just read all these post and I’m freakin’ laughing so hard, my boss just came to see what I was doing. The power play dance seems to have taken on a life of it’s own. Heard about folks doing it in Sweden, never thought it would catch like is has. Seems hard to remember that it started as a drunken tribute to one lone man, he knows who he is.
The folks up in here in the top row of 3-1-6 are just amazed, for sure. It it douchey…it can be bicurious…but regardless, you guys are doin’ it, talking about and blogging about it. Love it or hate it, I think its the gayest thing that I have ever done, but the more I drink, the more I enjoy doing it.
