Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Game Two Might Be Over, But Don't You Quit On Us Now.

The Canucks fans and media are all looking forward to the next series in the playoffs and they've already named Roberto Luongo as their shiny new golden god.

But not one game has been played in St. Louis yet.

If you're one of the fans who has come back to hockey after some time away and you're already calling it a series, we have a message for you: It ain't time to get off the bandwagon yet.

I'm going to go ahead and paraphrase PPP from tonight's GDT (where he was consoling a shut-it-down-it's-over Blues fan, of all things) when he said something to the tune of, 'the series isn't in trouble until you lose one on home ice.'

Sweet sassy molassy that's good stuff.

I gotta shut this thing down early to get working on the paper issue for Sunday night's game, so I'll leave you with a few thoughts:

  • Canuck fans are saying that they won because of a team effort. Blues fans are saying we got beat by one person. Which is it?
  • If you have any notion of coming to this site calling yourself a Blues fan and you start crying about what has happened, you best take that shit elsewhere, son. This team isn't supposed to be here and they're playing in one of the most contentious series in the playoffs.
  • Bieksa: you are a dumbshit. Hopefully you've earned yourself a seat next to Jason Reitman for Game Three.
  • Hey Paul Kariya Deniers. What up now?
  • Are you ready for Sunday, or are you selling your tickets and going back to complaining about the Cardinals' pitching? Time to show your true colors.

That's it, I gotta work on this crappy hockey paper. Feel free to come back later if you're still up. I'm feeling like I want to start posting random late-night polls just to see who's still up with me.

SWYD. Never give up. Go Blues.

I’m still frustrated as hell, but I love the effort, and I’m enjoying the hell out of playoff hockey that involves the Blues.

Fuck

Kevin Bieksa. He’s dead at Scottrade on Sunday, along with the Sedin Sisters. It’s not like the Blues got dominated, they easily could’ve won tonight, and had tons of chances in Game 1. The Blues hold serve on home ice, it’s a whole new series.
Oh, and for anybody giving up on the Blues, can I have your tickets?

by WebUKid on Apr 17, 2009 11:59 PM CDT reply actions  

Good luck beatin Luongo 4 of 5 games. Good effort by the Blues, the lack of defense and playoff experience lost them this series before the puck even dropped. Sundays game should be good, kinda like Van/Cal games…

by Nuckels on Apr 18, 2009 12:02 AM CDT reply actions  

Sure, Luongo's good

but hitting 3 crossbars doesn’t make him seem unbeatable. The Blues had chances, we just need to capitalize.

Admited "coming back" fan

Aaaand not going anywhere. If we had been killed in a blowout game, I’d consider it, but we played damn well today. It came down to “Luongo wrecked our shit up” and that was it. But stats have shown he isn’t as good on the road, and if we play with that effort again, I could very well see us winning.

Still, I’m concerned long term, because we still have to beat Vancouver at their house to move on. We can do it, but we’re gonna have to build up a boat load of confidence at home.

Several thangs

Nucks have trouble burying the biscuit on the road

Lu is beatable, we need to score quick in the next game to show he’s not in our head. Pop the lil bathtub bubble he’s living in. Run his azz Courtnall style.

We’re knocking the shit out of these guys. You could see it mid 2nd period when the puck was up for grabs, many of the Nucks didn’t want to engage.

We’re getting chances, some of them choice USDA. Murphy, Lady Luck and the Hockey Gods are not answering our offerings it appears. Our hard work will eventually pay off. …….. I hope. If not then human sacrifice is the only remedy I know of.

TIME FOR.....

Now, while you people are all asleep now (at least I hope for you), it’s seven hours later here. So as we speak, it’s 8.55 AM in The Netherlands. And I just woke up to see our (yes, OUR) second loss of the series…. AND I didn’t stay up for the game…. just like I didn’t couldn’t stay up for the first game.

What’s my point???? Well, don’t think this European fan is gonna bail out on this Blues Team. I agree with that point of “This team isn’t supposed to be here and they’re playing in one of the most contentious series in the playoffs”….
So screw my best friend overhere in Netherlands, who went last year on a trip to Canada and fell in love with the Canucks (he has his faults too, yes)… Screw him and his text message of this morning saying we (yes, WE) are ‘dead and buried’.

Do not be mistaken, my American (and otherwise) St. Louis Blues-friends…. I will be there for Game Three… No matter what, I’ll stay up. I’m gonna show the same spirit as the players did to get in the play offs in the first place…

Whatever it takes. Even in Europe. Let’s go Blues!!

The Netherlands may be famous for its capital Amsterdam... But there are St. Louis Blues fans as well... ME! Cya.

Winning

A team learns the path to winning by giving 110% even in defeat. A team learns to win by winning. It may be that this team needs to learn the path first. They have met a goalie who is hot right now and this can spell trouble for ANY team. The task ahead is not impossible but will be difficult. When the going gets tough the tough get going.

ANNOUNCERS AND FANS AND GAYNUCKS

I like how every channel and review i see of this game two is how blues cant beat luongo. UM MCDONALD BEAT LUONGO 3 times!!!!!!!!!!! give half an inch down and we would have won 3-2. Shutup about canucks they arent that great and luongo is the only one letting them win. O by the way i hope we never get any players from vancouver because they are dirty and are cheap. Hey why dont u make fun of Backes wife and then we will WHEEL OUT PYATTS WIFE IN A CASKET AT SCOTTRADE CENTER HAHA. Be ready bieksa and burrows i see pain in your near future. You guys suck, u guys are star wars nerds, o by the way we didnt say you could borrow our blue color go back to your ear wax and blood colors of the 90’s douchebags.

True blue Blues fan right there, saying shit about poor Pyatt’s deceased fiancee, you are a big man. How bout you put a few pucks past Luongo, and leave Taylor and his fiancee out of this, the guy hasn’t even played a game in the series. Oh yeah, and about the crossbars, maybe 1 inch down is a goal, but one inch the other way, you don’t even hit the target. I am not even Canucks fan, but that is just beyond disgraceful.

TO hockeyfan

You obviously didnt watch the game where burrows and bieksa talked shit about backes wife. So if a team wants to play like that why not pull out all the stops. 2nd im not arguing that 1 inch up would have been wide. What im saying is Luongo IS beatable, and very vunerable to shots up high as mcdonald has found out. Luongo is not god he is a goalie that is having a good season. Nobody cared about him when he was in florida. Blues pick the puck up a little bit and they have more goals than canucks pure and simple. Watch the game from 3/26 where blues won, all goals were shot elevated.

Im not religious so i dont care if i tread in unacceptable territory as far as comments go, obviously the players dont care so why should the fans. GO CRY SOMEWHERE ELSE, or go to church

i think if canucks go on to round two. I think nucks will have easier time against wings or hawks or ducks than blues. I really think blues are challenging the nucks well and will elevate their play even more with the next two games. MARK MY WORDS THIS SERIES WILL NOT BE A SWEEP BY VAN.
