Blues Playoff Schedule - UPDATED

I’ve been refreshing nhl.com like every 15 minutes.

After we sweep the Nucks, there will be no Game 5

dates confirmed. nice scoop.

I’ll be going to Game Four, as I just found out about an hour ago. Lower Mezzanines.

I do not expect to come to work NEXT Wednesday with a voice . . . if that schedule rings true.

This is going to be fucking brilliant. My first playoff game since Round 1 Game 5 against SJ in ’01 (Conference Finals year).

Fuck.

..I am scheduled to work NIGHT SHIFT on all 3 nights that they play in St. Louis…

Let’s hope my co-workers understand and agree to do trade-time.

If not…. will anybody be up for a Project Mayhem?

That first Sunday game is a bit of a bitch for me. I wish it was at 7 instead. I bought the 1st two rounds in advance thinking Ohhh I don’t have anything the games will interfere with. But of course, I have a lame honor’s society induction thingy that afternoon. Ugh. Hopefully it’s quick.

they said in the acceptance letter that you HAVE to be there. i guess i have to take an oath or something..i dont know. fuck beta gamma sigma.

the schedule on the Blues’ site has no local TV coverage. WTF are those of us who don’t have cable supposed to do (if we aren’t near the internet)?

Since I live in Seattle, half the games are starting in prime time for me anyway. I finally get to reap the benefits of being in the Western Conference

According to Puck Daddy, the entire series is set to air on VS. Meaning me and my barely out-of-market dorm room will have to (okay, GET TO) listen to Kerbs and Chaser online!

GO BLUES!!!

Well, actually a Caps fan, but have always loved the Blues and had family in Webster Groves. Sixth! Un-F’n-believable. Finishing eighth and getting swept would’ve been a major accomplishment given your injuries and the massive hole you guys were in.

Here’s why the Blues are dangerous – you go out on the last day and shut out Colorado to leap two spots. My Caps get blasted 7-4 by the mighty Panthers. Somehow Andy Murray gets your club to play team defense despite having an AHL blueline, and somehow Chris Mason becomes unbeatable in the pipes. I love my Caps, but Jose Theodore isn’t inspiring any Cup hopes at the moment.

I’ll be listening to Kerber and Chase with you all – tear it up in the playoffs and fuck Detroit (we hate them just slightly less than you do…)

I have been a loyal bluenote fan my entire life… some of my earliest memories are that of watching the blues play on tv with my dad. Watching Curtis Joseph, Brendan Shanahan, my all time favorite Brett Hull (alright I’m only 20 here) fly around on the ice made up a good portion of my formative years. I have only gotten to be more of a bluenote nut with each passing season. These past few years of cellar dwelling have been so painful, but instead of stepping away from my first sports passion I have embraced the changes and characters that we have all witnessed. Yeah we remember the Lalime’s (god that was terrible), the Weinrich’s, I even remember the slow as frozen molasses martin rucinsky’s, but this is a new blues team.

I agree with many of the bloggers here that this is the kind of team that you can grow up with. This is the type of team that is “mine”. I know I don’t pay the salaries and I am not the GM, but if you have been loyal to the note these past few years I think that you deserve a part of the ownership of the team.. even if its only metaphorical.

Now the one thing that I have never liked is the NHL as a whole… I know that doesn’t make much sense but let me explain. The NHL screws over the fans.. plain and simple. I know this isn’t new, but with the rejuvenated playoff rush and the excitement that has come with actually having tickets to a blues game being hard to come by has made me forget for a while that the NHL is run by idiots. Gary Bettman is a cancer, Versus Sucks. Lemme say it again so I can vent it. VERSUS SUCKS!

If the NHL wants to continue to grow, then they need to realize that. Versus is not going to be the channel that helps them expand in north america. As you may realize I don’t get Versus, I attend Missouri State University and we get the basic coverage. So from the kid who gets pissed when KPLR gets a game imagine my disdain when I can’t even call up my dad to see who is controlling the pace of the game. Yeah I know that Kerbs and Chaser are great and I have frequented the online radio more than a few times this year, but come on. I want to watch the team that I never (publicly) gave up hope for. I want my fandome to get rewarded. I want some damn hockey on my tv. And I want KPLR to stop having the worst signal of any channel! ( I mean its tough enough to listen to “Thank you, Thank You” without it stuttering every damn minute.

Sorry this turned into a novella of rants.. first part i just needed to get off my chest… the rant just made me feel better at 4:29am when I need to write a final report for ENG 221. Oh by the way… GO BLUES… kick those sorry sedin twins’ asses!

We used to run around together with our mutual friend Tito. Tom was always very diplomatic, engaging and fun. He was usually the voice of reason when the rest of us were not being very reasonable. I’m glad to see he has had some great one air success. He has some killer Mike Shanahan stories. He always said that Shanahan treated everyone so well.

Oh who cares. I’ve been listening all year anyways cause the world wide interweb on this campus sucks ass so it’s all good I guess. Would have been nice to see one of the games though

site says all games will also be on FSM or KPLR

I’m getting a little pissed that a dropped a fat wad of cash on this new TV and fucking Charter HD bullshit about a month ago and I’ve seen precisely TWO Blues games in “hi-def,” if you can count that non-widescreen bullshit KPLR passes of as “Hi-Def.”

WHOO-HOO!!! I sent in my playoff strip order form at the last minute (mailed 3 days before the deadline) and they called me today to square away a seat. since I had a partial season plan, my seat isn’t reserved. my playoff seat is exactly 5 rows straight back from my season seat. still in 305 baby!!
