So full disclosure: I'll be out of town for the rest of the week. Going to a wedding in KC. Not a big deal right? Well, I feel like I should come clean. I'm going to be a groomsmen for a Red Wings fan. Yes, one of my best friends roots for the Winged Wheel. Sorry. I'll try to lose the rings before the ceremony.

Turn heel at the wedding

Have a friend go online and become ordained. Then at the wedding, hit the groom with a chair while your buddy KOs the priest. Then have him marry you to your “buddy’s” girl. Then pose to the crowd as they boo.

I Object!

To those asshats at the Bleacher Report saying Blues fans are not committed to their team the same way “real” hockey fans are.

To rebut: The NHL Is Now In The Business Of Killing Blues Fans

Apparently an elderly Blues fan blew a gasket after the display of NHL incompetence last night and died of the resulting heart attack late in the game. It’s sad to think that among his very last thoughts was about how this league continues to screw over the Blues.

R.I.P.

God, knows I’ll be joining you one day and for the same reason; Death by NHL referee.

Now, remember this happened in March 2007, during a season the Blues finished with a grand total of 81 points and only one year off having the worst team in the league.

We care so fucking much we leave our lifeless corpses in the cheap seats.
