Now the fun begins!

After 5 years, it's some for some playoff hockey Blues fan! I'm writing this in from my office, wearing my Blues cap and mid-90's Brett Hull jersey (and have had 2 people ask me who's he, and who's the team), and I'm excited for 10 PM tonight. It'll be interesting to see how the kids come out tonight, the knock against them is that they don't have "playoff experience", well if that's the case what do you call the last 3 months where almost every day was win or go home? The keys to this series are shutting down the Swedish Wonder Twins, and make Roberto Luongo once again play like LOLuongo.

Of course you are thinking "well DUH UIWWildthing, that's obvious". I'm not a hockey analyst, and don't pretend to be. I'm a hockey fan and just call it as I see it. Tonight's game could be the first of 16 wins to the Stanley Cup, or just a delay to the Blues going golfing. Either way, welcome back to the playoffs Blues fan, let's enjoy this ride while it last. One last thing, having the Blues playing around my birthday (June 14th), would be a nice birthday present.

LET'S GO BLUES!

I find it very interesting

That I am not (as) nervous as I was going into Friday night.
Is this a good thing?
Is this a bad thing?
Am I Is this normal? (Door opened.)

Mason needs to stop the soft goal per game he has been letting in…usually during goal mouth scrambles.
The fucking swedish twins should be checked HARD and often.
Oshie/Perron/Bergland need to step up again like they were a few games ago and dominate their top D-men.

I could go on, but I am sure over the past 3 days, everyone on this site has read all the pregame analysis and the
fine work the SLGT slaves staff have put on this awesome site I like to call “Therapy.”

Blues playoff hockey. Gotta love it. LETS GO BLUES ! ! !

I'm gettin the same butterflies like before Friday's game

Almost OCD-esque. If I didn’t know any better I’d think I was the one lacin them up.

Like a first date with the new squeeze toy.

Endeavoring to persevere.
