The Hangover

After the game my girl and I talked for about an hour about the season. Hit the highs and lows, all that. Since then I’ve really not been to interested. Normally I can also flip on the TV and find a game. I don’t really care who’s playing, I just love the sport.

Now other than passively heckling teams I hate (i.e. Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington) I really just am kind of blah. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about anything the Blues are doing, but it just takes a while to figure out what to do after the fever pitch we’d set throughout the second half of the season. Thats why I like that they have Fanfest around the end of July. Its just about the time I’m starting to go through withdrawls again.

I guess we really aren’t fans, we’re addicts. And it take a while to start craving after you come down off that high.

holy crap, it’s true! it took me a couple days to watch another game. and before yesterday (rooting on the ‘Canes in game 6) I think I’ve only watched a few minutes of two different games since the Blues’ game 4 loss.

tonight, I’m watching the first period of the Chi/Cal game, and then I’m switching over to the Fear The Fin GDT

But I’m not saying that I’m not still pissed that the season ended so Goddamned quickly. I totally am.

However . . . everything’s cool here now.

I watch the playoffs, I watch the Cardinals games . . . I watch . . . ummm . . . other things . . . ahh, I’m good.

I’m kinda starting to realize how much I don’t have a life or any friends. Like what the hell am I going to do with myself??? can we have like an open chat a day a week or whatever so I don’t go even more crazy.

Anyone know when we can expect those refunds from the unused playoff tickets?

Hey Blues fans-

I promised after our series ended that we would do our best to destroy Chicago and then Detroit in your honor. Well here comes Chicago, and they are going down. Go Canucks!

I think my hangover might last a little longer than most, probably until next season.

I’m in a hockey ‘dead zone’ here in Alabama, surrounded by Auburn & Alabama football fans. I went to a local sports store to check out some hockey stuff, and they have absolutely nothing… Not even inline skates! Of course, if you want football gear or tackle boxes, then they’ve got 1000 different brands. Fuck ’em is what I say to that.

Call me bitter, call me impatient… But I really felt these guys had the potential to go far in the playoffs this year. I thought it was a terrible mistake to try and draw Vancouver over San Jose, and I believe that ultimately was our downfall. San Jose was floundering, and Vancouver was on an absolute tear… Why would you pick Luongo as your opposing goaltender, ever?? He has the ability to steal a series, and he stole it straight from where Grandma hides the cookie jar.

The bar will be set high for the boys next season, I just hope they are able to meet their own expectations after this ridiculous run.

It was a wild ride for sure, but that was a hell of a way to go out, right into a brick wall. Ugh, the bitter taste in my mouth sucks.

Note: See, I told you guys I’m still angry/bitter/emo. haha

I’m still watching hockey, but only for the entertainment, not for anything of any emotional value. I’m going to the Cards/Braves game tonight and tomorrow (went last night – I hate drunk rednecks and peanut shells) to give myself something to do. If it weren’t for baseball, waiting for next season’d drive me insane.

So, I just can’t watch the playoffs anymore. I hate everyone in there. Who do you root for? Honestly? I can’t even think to go for anyone from the west. Boston is the only team I really like from the east. THIS BLOWS!!!

Edit that “really like” to “can give a passing interest to”
