11 Reasons To Still Be Happy Even Though The Blues Lost

by RFJCC on Apr 22, 2009 11:06 AM CDT

11) Paul Kariya, Erik Johnson, Eric Brewer and D.J. King should all be ready to play in our next game

10) Shoe related injuries have become almost non-existent in Columbia, Missouri

9) Three words: Disney on Ice!!

8) Though broken, all of our hearts have finally resumed beating after going on strike since mid-March

7) Miraculously, even though we were completely fleeced by the refs, the only things broken were a window and an office chair, and both were by the same person.

6) Louie now has time to wash that damn suit and get some pants tailored

5) The chances of me dropping the F-bomb in front of an 8 year old have decreased dramatically

4) We still don't have a creepy pair of twins on our team

3) The guys running STLGT have not shut down the website in a blind rage

2) No matter how many cups they win, Detroit will still suck more than a Vegas hooker and Draper will still be gay

1) Remember that time we were in last place at the start of 2009 and then somehow made the playoffs? Yea that was pretty fucking awesome.

That was an awesome moment last night

And you can tell the players were touched. I think it has been a long time since the city and one if its teams has been this close to each other. We (at least the die hards) genuinely care about them and I think they play hard because they appreciate it.

Having read Stories from Behind the Blues Bench by Bobby Plager (required reading for any Blues fan) I think our mission now should be to bring back the singing of “When the Blues go Marching in” before each game (not just when Chuckie is there) and after each goal (kind of like a college fight song for lack of better example)

16. because of SLGT i was offered fantastic advice about the window. I covered it with a wood board. My parents haven’t gone into the basement yet. Maybe they wont even notice if I keep the blinds closed.

17. because of the blues fantastic fan base, i’ve actually made friends.

18. Luongo was so dehydrated after the game he had to take IV fluids.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

That's a lose-lose.

Fuck them.

But Fuck Chicago too. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I almost posted a fanpost of something similar

But to go along with RFJCC’s sentiment:

Top 11 things I am going to miss going to Blues games at whateverthefuckyoucallit Center.

11) Towel Boy….trying to get him to commit suicide in front of 19,249 fans live was sure fun.
10) Sitting in 318 B among fellow die hards who ALSO like # 11 ( I converted most of em.)
09) Yelling “Hey Tom, how much is time left” and hearing the laughter at most of the non regulars.
08) high fiving strangers and hearing that fucking horn…wow…
07) seeing the GT folks between periods when I need therapy
06) talking with fellow fans at 14th and clark (the street corner, not the old bar) that usually buy GT.
05) seeing John N, Brad, Chris, Duke, Juan, and many other GT folks before the game. (I even saw Jeffio)
04) Charles rules all…
03) seeing Angelllllllla and knowing where the puck is in the lucky “skate” shuffle.
02) seeing the game of course…watching the team I have seen come together through drafting especially.
01) Reading Game Time…of course…

with the exception of 1 and 2(which may be 2 then 1), the rest are in fairly random order.
