Welcome To The St. Louis Game Time Vacation Experiment

I ALMOST bought The Love Guru today. Luckily I just bought game 7 of the cup finals (remember when the Redwings were embarrassed at home? yeah, that was awesome!) and the MLK Day Miricale in Boston! Chuck Norris David Backes is a beast!

The monkeys have the keys to the Banana Plantation! Wooooooohoooo!

So – a question.

I’m looking at getting another Blues jersey (either the white away one or the third jersey) ready for my visit to the US in January. So – where’s the most reasonable place to get one? My other is from NHL.com – customised with that heat press stuff.

I’m in two minds as to whether to get it personalised or leave it blank.

Suggestions as to where to get one as well as input on personalisation would be helpful!

I was already re-loading the page every half hour to check for today’s post
It’s out of my hands, this site is taking over, its probably all for the best
but it will get worse before it gets better

(sorry, I had to do that, being as it’s Beaker and all)

Anyways, college life has been all right thus far: I’m getting more work at a TV station in town shooting high-school football, my classes are good, and the people I’m living with are very good guys who have the same interests as yours truly (namely sarcasm, the show Planet Earth and…other things).

But the most interesting thing is that I’m living down the street from a girl who’s an absolute Blues fanatic. While she’s pretty cute and all, I’ve got two slight hang-ups about her:
—She’s told me that she wants to be the next Angellllllllla (we were in a project group in this one class)
—Judging by the guys I’ve seen go over to her place, I don’t think I own enough Affliction shirts or drink enough Natty Ice to be considered the right kind of people by her/her friends (I’m more partial to Urban Outfitters and imports/good cheap stuff like Stag or Schlitz, thankyouverymuch).

So yeah, how does a good, well-spoken young man like myself proceed?

Whew! Someone light a match. This is a mean one. What to comment on? What to comment…on? hhhhhmmmmmmmm.

Well, there is North Co. There is the awesome story how AM got off to a slow start when it came to scoring in summer league only to turn it on more as his pre-game warm up got more intense.

Then there was literally a Tilt-a-Whirl in the Parking lot of the Mills for the Summer League Championship game.

Then I walked in on Phyllis blowing some guy on my bottom bunk. I still shudder at the mental image. She even kept her cigarette lit. Filthy bitch.

I don’t know man, maybe I’ll just wait for the print edition on the home opener to really let loose on how Blues Nation needs to finally declare absolute fucking war on every visiting player and member of their management.

Yeah, maybe I will wait. Yeah, let’s let this big fat shit marinade in the toilet for a month and a half or so. So here you go GT Nation, enjoy a big fat dump from your buddy AM. I’m off for my night time circuit workout and rub down (self inflicted of course).

Hugs,

A to the M (that still doesn’t come across well)

MUPPETSTYLE

I do get to spend pretty much whole fall bowling every Wednesday and doing color/stats for HAH-SKEW FOOSBAWL (just pronounce it phonetically . . . you’ll get it) on most Fridays, all the while working full-time at a place where the salespeople have the worst sense of timing ever, the management is about as sharp as a cannonball and I have to deal with a co-worker who literally is more worthless than a lampshade on a nuclear bomb.

My drinking problem was created for me. Oh, and state liquor taxes are going up in Illinois. So now I’ll be numb, drunk AND broke.

MOST! SUCK! EVER!!!!!

If so I tip my hat to you fellas

So I’ve noticed that I’m rapidly distancing myself from being the youngest person here, Carnie outed me last year, but I’m curious to see how many more people have got me beat, sooooo…
Who hear is younger than 20??? (Mental age doesn’t count, im like -5 in that category)

for an internship with the Blues and I didn’t get it. Trying to to take it personal, but damn.

Anyway, school is going alright so far. I’m graduating in December. Anyone want to hire me?

I’m a goobermint worker, you’re gonna hafta pedal a lot faster to beat this professional backslider.

Been choking on the heat and smoke here in the City Of Angels working at the La Canada fire. CA has 4 seasons, Smog season, fire season, storm watch season and then mudslide season. Rinse and repeat. We’re hitting fire season a bit early this year.

I’ve erected my new shrine alter for the Blues and got some new chicken bones for the sacrifices. Joboo will be pleased. Got some good root recipes too from Redd Foxx to try out.

OK, I’ve been dying to play some hockey here, and I’ve tried a couple of different ways of getting together with a team, but they fell through.

I’ve never played ice (I hear Answer Man’s footsteps coming now to bag on roller hockey) — but do any of you folks play roller hockey? I’m not sure about joining up with a team since I’m (hopefully) moving soon for job stuff, but are there any places out there with good stick-and-puck times, etc? It’s been awhile since I’ve played, but I used to be a pretty solid defenseman.

…for those expecting a quick solution to the World’s Hardest Dick, just let it be known I’m planning on making this the War & Peace of hockey related noir detective fiction.

I made it through all the comments
Y’all are depressing.
I wasn’t on yesterday (except in the morning when there was nothing here) got a big smile on my face when I saw all the comments.
Whew, it was hard to get through.
I guess everyone is feeling like me, let’s get this season started already.

… we’re screwed. They dropped Versus, meaning a stupid hockey blackout on Mondays and pretty much Tuesday unless you have Center Ice. Those 5 Blues games on VS better be broadcast elsewhere.

I don’t get why the NHL doesn’t get with VS to stream the games on their site with ads so they still get some money. Or, better yet, get it on a real freaking network.

Since there are still no St. Louis Blues to watch, why not see some blues in St. Louis at this weekend’s Big Muddy Blues Festival on Laclede’s Landing.

32 groups this year playing four different stages (the newest being at the No-Longer-Skybox-Now-The-Levee patio on 3rd), with a Salute to Jazz and Gospel on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Something like 80,000 people are expected to attend over the two days (Sept. 5-6, 1-11:30 daily).

Oh and I just saw the Wax Museum is selling Blues baseball caps for 5 bucks in their lobby. I might have to pick one of those up.

and if yall don’t mind join this group because the CCHA hates hockey in the South!

Giving me a place to post my inane ramblings is a bad bad thing. I’ll just post random thoughts that have occured to me lately, if anyone wants to continue the line of thought, be my guest.

-So, a very close personal friend of mine is heading gonna be heading here in a couple weeks, and we are gonna be hitting up atleast one of the Blues preseason games here. She’s from Toronto, and it might actually be cheaper for her to fly to St.Louis to watch a game live, then fly back then getting Maple Leafs tickets.

-So, I’ve heard some reports that David Perron has been lights out going into this season, and is expected to become a first liner along with Backes and McDonald. I’ve been trying to come up with an idea for lines, tell me what you guys think if you weel

1st Line: Backes, McDonald, Perron
2nd Line: Berglund, Boyes, Kariya
3rd Line: Oshie, Tkachuk, Steen (Possibly Eller, depending on what he does in pre-season)
4th Line: McClement, Winchester, Crombeen (Steen takes one of these spots if Eller makes the team).

Note, I didn’t put a C/LW/RW consideration into the order I listed the players, just lines in general.

-Why is it that creating players in NHL 09 makes your potential ratings in there more or less random? That really pisses me off that I can’t make a good Oshie, Berglund, Eller, Palushaj, Cole, etc.

-Why in the hell do kid walk in the middle of the street in my intersection when we have sidewalks? One of them is gonna get ran over, and everyones gonna talk about what a tragedy it was, when they could have been on the sidewalk that was RIGHT THERE! Dumbasses…

- Is it sad that I taught my 9 year old cousin the names to basically every single Blues prospect? She asked me how Lars Eller’s injury was healing up recently. I was amazed she even remembered who Lars Eller was.

- So, Marvel was bought by Disney huh? I’d pay big money for a Hannah Montana/Punisher crossover. Well, assuming we had the only reasonable conclusion anyway…

1, That’s kinda the thing. I have absolutly no idea. I mean, we already have King and Jannsen sitting. McClement I will say goes nowhere. He’s the 4th lines star player, if you want to put it that way. Is it bad we have so much depth I have 0 idea what to do with anyone? I mean, we could package them for some star, but we are already loaded on top 3 forwards imo, and our defense is solid, and I’m confident with Mason in net. And that’s not even going in Palushaj, who probably deserves a chance at some point too. I guess it’d be a “play by ear” situation

2. Well then, good. I took her to the prospect camp all 4 days, and basically quized her on players and information about them. She can pronounce Pietrangelo better then I can. It certainly doesn’t hurt that her dad played hockey for a long while too.

3. See, I’m all about the Runaways, though nobody else here has probably ever read any or even heard of em. Course, the book got cancelled anyway, so I’m back to just being a X-Men guy.

Oooh, and additional random thought

-Mass Effect 2 will rock your face.

Roll out them barrels by god

Knowing there would be no links

But still hoping for links

Yo wanna-be Poozle owners. Answer Mom is THE GREATEST!!!! I got an invite to that fight league up in Quebec. I was a long shot but my agent Slick Rick was on it this summer. Answer Mom bribed me to stay.

Answer Mom traded my killer Rumble Bee truck for a beauty that resembles this shit:

Hey Hyrbrid drivers, I got two words for you. SUCK IT!

Now with my pet Sugar Glider and this ride. Them Ho’s don’t stand a chance!

Anyone hear anything about the Blues talking to Boston about Phil Kessel? There was a link posted on Blues Talk to a supposedly legit site, but only the headline loaded – no story – saying it’s going to happen. Anyone hear about it/have any thoughts?

If it’s real (or even possibly happening), not sure how I feel about having to pay a guy $5 mill a year how may not play until December, but if he’s going to be as good as he was this past year – and we only have to give up someone like Cole, Eller, or even Perron – it’d at least be an interesting thought.

…your Game Time Prospect Department will be one pissed-off individual.

So my Gf and I bought a new house tonight……this hockey season is gonna be the best….cause I can get as loud as I want and it wont bother anyone!!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow the season better start soon. Crazy young men here proposing, buying houses, having babies. Did anyone get married if so I missed that.
You guys need something to keep yourselves busy!!!!

Congrats to all by the way.

Congrats all around, guys!

1: I found this on eBay and find it hysterical:

2: I got my mother, for her birthday (and it’s totally for her… yeah, right) 2 seats either 3 or 4 rows from the glass for the Thrashers/Blues game on November 5th. It’s not televised here (of course), but I’m guessing FSMW has it on the air. I’ll see if Mom will wear my old school 1992 Blues jersey… I might see if I can be the obnoxious person with the Game Time crap next to the bench. The best part about all of this? Free. Totally free. I get a bank every season for upgrades/multiple tickets, and I’m not going to the SJS game (which I am pissed about) because my best friend’s getting married, so that counts towards my bank. Basically, I get two $135 tickets for free. We have some pretty non-existant STH perks, but that one kicks ass. At least this season.

Well, that, and the 6 tickets I get for free for friends and family nights, which are always fun.

The daily posts went from 80 the first day to what, three or four yesterday?

As Sean always tells us, “content is king,” and if we’re not putting any new content on the site, we’re not generating traffic. As it is now, the only people contributing to this thread are those who are here every day and contributing anyway.

It was a noble idea, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that a week is too long to go without any new content for a site like this.

Agree or disagree?
