PrintBlues Offseason Recovery Journal: Day 11- Provisions are scarce and morale is low among the group. After watching RFJCC devour 1/3rd of the rations in a late night binge, none of us can be sure how long we can last before turning towards our basic survival instincts, rather than higher-order thinking. I'm also starting to think that Gallagher can't read the map and is leading us away from our destination.
And now for something completely the same as always:
Blues News:
- Post Dispatch discusses what the prioritites should be in the offseason. Mentions of Tkachuk and Pronger, but I'm pretty sure you assumed that.
- David and the Americans pound France
- Don't be surprised if the Americans bring home a world championship. This article doesn't specifically mention any of our boys, but they get the point across that our scouting here in the states ain't bad.
Hockey News:
- Keep an eye on the entire IIHF World Championship here.
- Stupid asshole dammit Wings 3-2 win on a fucking late go-ahead Lidstrom goal FUCK!
- The folks over at Stanley Cup of Chowder break down Boston's game 1 win over the 'Canes. Canes Country offers their perspective.
- Standings. Wait, no. Regular season's ended a long time ago.
- Schedule for tonight. Crosbys vs. Ovechkins and Nucks/Hawks
- Jiri Hudler got his shit absolutely blown up by Mike Brown of the Ducks. Analysis here. Video below.
Other Stuff:
- Carnie digs the articles that ask the tough questions: "Can an obese guy shut-out an NHL team?"
- PCS shows dedication to Game Time by not getting hammered on the night before commencement and by coming home after only 3 beers to do links. (I love you all)
- And you thought late fees were bad!? Try 62 grand for a movie download. (DanGNR)
- Now this scammer was pretty clever if you ask me...(and DanGNR)
Video:
As promised, here is Red Wing Jiri Hudler getting blown the fuck up
Fuck Detroit. Stick around for some more cool stuff. Send your links to gametimelinks (at) gmail.com

WTF!
That was a perfectly clean open ice hit. The ref even let it slide until Hudler didn’t get up. Then suddenly it’s a penalty? Fuck the refs and fuck the Red Wings!
And they called it an interference! I have “the intent” to shove their whistles up their collective asses.
Agreed!
When do you guys play next?
11 more to 12.
How many more to 1 for you guys?
Shouldn't you be having a whine fest on your blog...
… about how horrible your team is this year? That seems to be what all the Kukla’s Korner tweets I get for your posts are about.
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.
Probably
That whole high expectations thing sucks. You guys will get there some day too.

There's a difference between high expectations...
… and unreasonable ones. I had high hopes for the team that were reasonable, they lived up to them, and I’m content without a Cup for now.
Hey – if the Wings get knocked out of the playoffs, can we come troll your blogs too?

What's unreasonable about ours?
Four Cups in 11 years makes expecting one every year pretty reasonable to me. Will it happen? Of course not. And, yes, we’ll whine like little bitches when it doesn’t. But that doesn’t temper those expectations.
And of course you can come over and rub it in when/if we lose. Or I’ll drop in here should that happen. Least I can do since I do the same when we win.

4 Cups in 11 years is a high ratio.
11 cups total puts you smack dab in the middle of the O6. 7 of your Cups came when you only had to win 8 games. I’m not trying to diminish your accomplishments or your expectations here, but you need to be realistic. You guys had 15 years of complete and total suck until Yzerman came along (and then later the Russian Five). Thank God you found someone to draft, which is the same position we’re in now.
Sports are cyclical. Nothing wrong with having high expectations (I even have them for the Thrashers, because apparently I am in to S&M or something). Sooner or later, the sucky teams do well and the powerhouses fall. You need to temper your high expectations with realism and an understanding that sooner or later, you could very well return to the bottom. Being a Cardinals fan has taught me the zen of high yet still easily crush-able expectations. I’m not sure you can say the same if you’re a Tigers fan, but hey, fandom is what it is, right?

Hey, A2M:
You can’t get swine flu from fucking pigs, so you and your momma are safe!
Let's go Blues!!!

I may have spoken too soon...
if you and momma were in Alberta in the last few weeks for hookups, you may want to go to the ER.
Let's go Blues!!!
Call me nuts...
But if my team finished as far ahead of the Blues as Detroit did, I wouldn’t really give a shit if they disliked my team.
I guess since only 27 people in Detroit still have jobs, people are slightly pissed off at the world.
Congrats on graduating, TIm, PCS
I’ve still got 3 years of grad school left to get all my Physical Therapy stuff in order.
Not sure if I should flip the “C” to a “G” for graduate. I think I’ll leave it as is.

Grad school, eh?
Although the current moniker will still work fine, maybe VPCS would be better than PFCS.
Very Poor College Student
Let's go Blues!!!
Nice thing of it is that the program I’m in now had a direct entry doctorate degree.
So once I’m in as a freshman, I don’t need to re-apply now that I got my undergrad piece of paper.

regarding the video
this is an absolute carnage collision
great, great line…. *satisfied sigh
Carnage is a word that makes any sentence fantastic.

About halfway down the IIHF recap about the USA-France game . . .
whoever the reporter was (looked like a Nordic-esque name) called Backes “Kevin Backes”. This will surely be dealt with in a bloody manner.
Also, no reason this time around to give a flying rat’s ass about the French team. NO PHILLIPE BOZON! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

No Huet either?
They obviously need their nutty little goalie, don’t they?

Shitty hit
Too late of a hit. Bad move on Brown’s part.

I think it's a height thing.
Brown’s like a foot taller than Hudler. Stuff like that’s unavoidable. I’m sure Marty St. Louis lives in fear of guys taller than he is… which is everyone in the league.

To be fair . . .
if Hudler wasn’t wearing that visor . . . he wouldn’t have bled like a stuck pig and Brown would have never been penalized.

Visors are like airbags.
A lot of time they do more harm than good.
