Blues Season In Pictures

But fuck safe for work. This season has been one long perpetual assfuck. And not the “Oh, that’s different, but I’m enjoying it” assfuck. It’s been the “FUCK, SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME NOW SO I DON’T HAVE TO ENDURE THIS ANYMORE” ass fuck. Seriously. Whoever was talking about the pink sock the other night had it dead to rights. This season has been a rectal prolapse. The Denver Bronco’s of hockey if you will. Yes, that’s right. I said it. This season has been an abortion.

It’s been hard-fought, and it’s been fun at times. However, it is none-the-less a tragic disappointment.

I honestly-whole-heartedly-deeply-am-dying-to-win-hope that THE Blues turn this shit around, because I don’t know how much more of this torture I can take. And Fuck Chicago. I don’t care what people say Patrick Kane is a little bitch.

add a comma in that last sentence appropriately. Bleak Hoax fans, suck me beautiful.

but the past two games the Blues have been making them, eating them, and forcing us to take a feces-flavored bite as well.

Pin the puck on the boards for six freaking seconds and you’ve got a win! Hell, lay on the fucker and even if you get a delay of game, at least some time comes off the clock and you get to reset (unless late DoG’s award a penalty shot – can’t remember the rule). Two-goal leads should instill confidence – not dread!

F’ it. I’ll watch this team until the bitter end, but they need to start exorcising their third period demons starting tomorrow night against the Blackhawks. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch as I’ll be on a Chicago-bound Amtrak for some Valentine’s Day weekend girlfriend time, but I’ll be listening on a “pocket radio” (I use quotations because the thing is as big as a VHS tape and older than Carnie) borrowed from a friend.

Let’s shine a little light on this mess (kind of like police using black lights at a crime scene) by mentioning that the Blues are tied for 14th place in the West! Woooo! Still the worst, yes, but tied for that position and free of the comparatively abysmal 15th position.

I watched it late, on DVR. Why did I do this? Why? It’s 2 a.m. and I just watched a whole recorded game only to see the lead pissed away and watch McKee flailing helplessly in the crease with no time left. Seriously?! Then I do it all over again in OT and the stupid shootout. Idiot.

I could have checked online, peeked at the game thread, and saved myself the time. And sleep. And pain. It’s not like I shouldn’t have known what was coming. Why?

What do they call doing the same thing yet expecting a different result? Stupidity? Insanity? Just Blues being Blues?

On the joint-blog the other night, either Zane or Yankee Canuck (were there any others?) posted a stat that the Blues were something like 16-1-1 when leading in the third period. Now, I trust their stat-searching, but doesn’t it seem like the Blues do what they did tonight and against the Canucks, like, 40% of the time? Or maybe it only seems that way because often we see them go into protect mode midway through the second period and relinquish the lead.

Look, if you can make it work, Blues, then by all means do it, but I think the last two nights have proved the age-old adage of “a good defense is a great offense.”The forecheck, for this team, is a much better defensive plan, than the let-them-come-at-you-and-MAYBE-get-a-clear defense we’ve been seeing most recently. Bah!!
Why, I oughta…

He wanted me to post this for him. The Redlands PD took him away last night in a straight jacket. He’s on a 48 hour hold at Bellevue Hospital here. He was screaming something about the god damned Blues again as they wheeled him out. I knew it was bad this time as they had one of those Hannible Lecter masks on him. The last thing he yelled as the ambulance drove away was to check the GDT. Now I see why he had the mental meltdown. It’s such a tragedy, the Blues burning another lead like that.

Well, I have to get ready for work. Please say a prayer for my brother.

Im at school right now, but if someone kind find a pic of “shit on a shingle” that sums up what I think.

that’s what I’m thinking….give us a good show and take it away. They dangle an easy win in front of our faces and then say, no dear fans, I’ve already worked very hard tonight…I have a headache and I think I would just like to lay down for the rest of the game. The last two games have been pathetic, but the season itself… damnit all if I still can’t get enough of Blues hockey. I guess we’re all just masochists.

Anyone know?
