Two Points Up, One Point Back

The first part is done. Unfortunately, getting two points from Los Angeles will be the easiest task of the home stand.

We'd do a more in-depth overview of the game, but with yet another GT issue to prepare for Thursday's game, we have other things to attend to right now. Suffice to say that up in the cheap seats, the first two periods were too boring, the third was way exciting and the whole damn thing had us sitting on the edge of our seats and listening intently to the GT reader behind us who was getting out of town score updates on his phone.

It isn't playoff hockey yet, but it sure is fun.

Here's your post-game interviews with Patrick Berglund, Chris Mason and TJ Oshie.

Yeah, heart exploded is the vote

You’ll probably read this line again, but with all these “must-win” games, Tuesday nigh was really the first that felt like a playoff game.

Thursday night, the fans better be on the verge of a riot. Make those Sedin twins pee their pants.

I had the unfortunate scalper lottery that landed me the middle seat of Towel Boy’s row tonight. I wonder if he heard me yelling “JUMP!”

Thursday is my friend’s bachelor party. he’ll likely be sporting his dark Canucks whale jersey. I wore my Oshie 3rd tonight and we kicked ass so I’ll give it another go Thursday. so look for us 2nd row from the ice in 105 (I think middle of the row).
and (of course) behind 305 in the intermissions

Heart exploded or will my liver will turn to stone? Either way I can’t take much more.

GO BLUES!

PTMFUS!

nice to see that we got our “overwhelm them in the 3rd” gameplan back. 2 games in a row we dominated the end of the game and made the statement that ‘we are walking out with 2 points and you aren’t getting shit.’

love it!

Death by heart explosion.

In fact, I probably won’t even really enjoy going to the game Thursday unless we have a 2-3 goal lead because I’ll be on the edge of my seat, clenching my jaw.

you should come to 305 during the intermissions too, meet the gang

by Dooks on Mar 25, 2009 12:45 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I sit in 307, so I might take you up on that.

How will I know you guys? Do you walk around with your user pictures taped to your foreheads?

by oic on Mar 25, 2009 12:48 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

we stand around by the wall directly behind 305 under the section map and Toyota sign. look for guys holding GameTime issues

Heart exploding or dying from stopped breathing.

Turned blue on a couple of them shots and scrums.

Chooooo chooooooo. All aboard this train heading to the playoffs. First stop will be to kick Detroit’s azz. They have their weaknesses that the Oil exploited for 2 periods 2nite. We just gotta play all 3 periods to make it. Ducks are playing over their heads and will collapse and fade soon. Quackers out of the race in 5 games I predict

Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.

Optimistically said 7th

after looking at the schedules of the teams surrounding us.
I hate/love to say that thankfully Detroit pulled it out last night against Edmonton.

by luvhockey on Mar 25, 2009 8:23 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I picked 8th...

…the shitty thing is I’m now on meds that will keep me off the sauce for the next three weeks. I’ll have to face this playoff chase sober.

I'll probably miss most of the last games while training.

But I’ll be going crazy thinking about it. Oh and Mr. Rutherford said the Blues were four games over .500. Fucking corporate media and it’s inabilty to do math correctly and read. Any team that is .500 or above by definition any team that has as many WINS as LOSSES or more wins than losses is going to make the playoffs unless that trend is ended. There will be teams that are not .500 in the last few spaces in both leagues.

An overtime loss, shootout loss is still a loss. That’s my point. I know it is valued at a half a win in a sense but yet it’s not because the other team collects two points.

Our Blues do not reflect their record. They should have a better record. But the shit weighs on’em and they still keep pulling on up the trek to the promise land.

This is fucking awesome! Let’s GO BLUESSSS!!!

Well . . .

given that I already have hypertension . . . I picked the option about my heart exploding. It was the safest bet.

But yeah. I love this shit. An honest-to-God PLAYOFF chase! What a team.

Do all Canadian teams look alike? Apparently the tech folk at the STLtoday think so. I could've sworn the Blues lost to Cal and Gary as part of that losing skid.
