I was fortunate enough to attend Game 4 of the 2006 World Series. That was by far the most nervous and excitedI have been in the stands at a game. Until yesterday. Tucked high into the DrinkScotch Center I stood almost the entire game. I yelled until I was hoarse and almost cried with every goal. The outcome sucked, but the experience was awesome. Also to all the Game Time guys I met: It was a pleasure meeting you all. I like the little posse that hangs out -- I felt like I was with the cool kids. Anyway, you guys don't read this stuff for my thoughts so let's link it up.

Blues news

The Blues lost Game 3 because of the Power Play, theirs couldn't convert, the Canucks could.
I agree with Bernie: Stop trying for the pretty goal and get some ugliness.
Kariya might pull a Willis Reed. May I suggest B.J. Crombeen to the press box?
Keith Tkachuck's days as a Blue are numbered.
From friend Nate aka NatetheGreat after I convinced him to stop lurking, comes up with the handy decibel meter. According to the jumbotron, it got to 109 yesterday. It was LOUD.
T.J. Oshie answers questions ... and still doesn't say what the Bermuda Cup is.

Nucks News

The Canucks are stoked to win without Mats Sundin.
Seriously, they like Mats.
Apparently being up 3-0 is a stranglehold.

Scores.
Schedule.
Someone here should buy this.
Milan Lucic got suspended. Here's the video of the incident.
Bruins' Hunwick may be all heart, but he's not all spleen.
I'm stunned by the Rangers.

Look at hate the Red Sox as much as the next guy but, we can learn from them. Down 3-0 to the mighty Yankees in 2004, the Red Sox didn't give up. Remember, it's not over until someone wins four games. Here is a fan-vid from the start of the comeback. Think about this when someone says the Blues are done.

Come back for more. St. Louis Game Time isn't giving up. You shouldn't either.

Walt needs to stay.

Make him a reasonable offer. I don’t care what he does next year as long as he isn’t a liability. He’s earned it. We’ll need him next year to still help with the youngsters including the D. Erik Johnson has a lot of expectaions on his shoulders and even more so since he’s missed a year. Probably not quite as much since Polak & Weaver have played much better than expected.

I just think we need someone that is not only a veteran but someone that has lived and played here a long time. There is a difference.

Kariya is a veteran but let’s face it, he hasn’t been a Blue. He’s our splodeybones (thank you PPP, love that word).

Jeez, what a bunch of morons who responded to the story about Big Wallet...

But then, what can you expect from regular readers of the Post-Disgrace (apologies to Jeremy Rutherford).

So who will be our Dave Roberts ...

the base-stealing catalyst who sparks the team to win four straight in the face of nothingness?

i say cam smash should be der pahty statah by permanently disabling both sedins at once.

don’t get me wrong, down 3-0 isn’t where i wanna be, but these guys are canucks, not yankees … they did the exact same thing to us in 03. payback’s a bitch, right?

Keith Tkachuck

The comments on the Keith Tkachuck story are a good read. I think you either are obsessed with him being this star player that he maybe used to be or you think he is washed up. He may be a good influence but I think the young guys got what they needed from him and its time to let go. Who cares if he is a good guy for the organization, the Blues are trying to win the Stanley Cup and I feel as if there is a better player that we could have on our team for his pricetag. Harsh I know but I have been a huge fan of the Blues since the early 90s, I had high expectations of him. I didn’t realize he was here to be a good influence or a good person for the organization I was expecting a star player who would step it up in the playoffs. McDonald is the only thing close to a star player, right now. It would be nice if Walt or someone on the team could step it up another level as McDonald has we need more than just him handling the puck. Go Blue
