GDT Roll Call: Death To Shamu

by gallagher on Nov 12, 2009 1:27 PM CST

Unlike some fans, I really don't hate the Canucks. I don't like them, by any means, but the apex of my dislike for them came during the Bertuzzi years. Considering that I still hate Bertuzzi and don't really care much about the canucks, maybe it was more about him than anything else.

Similarly, I'm always surprised when I hear someone who really, really hates the Blues. They just don't seem like the hateable type. Unless you're a Philadelphian and they came into the stands and punched you back in 1972, I just don't get it. So when I read the hate over at Nucks Misconduct before the game, I was surprised.

The fact that I read that, went to the game and got to watch the Blues stomp all over the canucks made it even more fun for me. During every goal celebration and every Shamu who got his face punchisized for him I couldn't help but think about how much madder Sean Zandberg must have gotten as the game went on. Good guys, those boys over at NM, I just never would have guessed there was so much hate.

Anyway, at the same time the Blues were exploding, so were you all in the GDT. An effort all the more impressive as it wasn't even on TV locally.

Once again

Soccer games get in the way.
7:20 soccer game so won’t be home until about 9 and then have to drop kick them into the shower.
I may be here the last half of the 3rd.

Appendectomies suck...

Not only did I have to give up my tix to the Calgary game, but I’ve missed all of the GDT fun because I was either (a) in the hospital strung out on painkillers, or (b) too busy catching up on all of my school work. And I’ll probably miss it tonight, too… stupid freakin’ appendix…(grumblegrumblegrumble)

You and Teeej hang out together or something?...

Have you seen his “Direct Access” regarding his surgery and recovery?

You can't call me a fair weather Blues fan.

I have

because I’m a ~~stalker~~ huge fan… My TV was way bigger, but I couldn’t pull it right up to my face :)

Teeej came up several times while I was in the hospital, actually. Things like “I bet TJ Oshie didn’t have to sit in the waiting room for 3 hours before he saw a doctor” or “I probably got the broken gown that’s missing the string because they save the good ones for TJ Oshie”… I think now my family expects me to get out on the ice in a week and skate circles around all of my healthier but less impressive friends, just to complete the analogy…
