Blues Pre-Game Inspirational Speeches

by Brad Lee on Apr 21, 2009 11:00 AM CDT

During the last weeks of the regular season, we asked a few folks to come in and give the St. Louis Blues some inspiration. And as a special treat, we let you inside the dressing room to hear the words for yourself. Before tonight's playoff game, we've asked the President of the United States to say a few brief words. Mr. President...

The President of the United States

Good evening. In less than an hour, you Blues players will be coming together like a great army. And you will be launching the largest assault on Vancouver in the history of the Bluenote.

Bluenote - that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests in the Bluenote.

Perhaps it's fate that today is April 21, a date that most of you has spent on the golf course the last five years, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from Red Wings, Blackhawks, or Predators - but from playoff annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist in the postseason.

And should we win the day, the 21^st of April will no longer be known as a golfing holiday, but as the day when the Blues declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Playoff Victory Day!

Inspirational speech from President Bill Fucking Pullman himself!

If this doesn’t get the Blues fired up, I don’t know what will.

What is the Blues record when provided a SLGT Inspirational Speech anyway? Pretty high, I’d imagine.

We did nine before the last game of the season in Colorado

Gen. Patton – W over Kings
Matt Foley (SNL) – W over Canucks
John Winger (Stripes) – W over BJs
Tony D’Amato (Any Given Sunday) – W over BJs
John Blutarsky – L to Hawks (and of course we should have known to not feature Jake Blues of Chicago that night)
Herb Brooks – W over Wings
Abe Lincoln – OT loss to Stars
Gary Gaines (Friday Night Lights) – W over Coyotes
Dan Devine (Rudy) – W over BJs

That’s 7-1-1. And that’s only the “official” speeches I wrote (with a Poor College Student submission).

Nice job!

If they’re still down in the dumps during the second period, we can try the inspiration thing again…

Rodney Dangerfield on Dylan Thomas

“Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

What does that quote mean to you, Thornton?
“I DON’T TAKE SHIT FROM NO ONE!
I’M GOING TO PASS THIS TEST!
I’M STAYIN’ IN THE ‘PLAYOFFS’
WHO’S NEXT?!”

creepy.

you know how those rotten flamers like chanting "fuck the canucks" because it rhymes?
well, it just so happens that "fuck the flames" uses alliteration, for which more superior intellect is required compared to rhyme.
fuck the flames, and GO CANUCKS GO!
