Around SBN: UFC 146 Predictions

Searching For Positives... Here's One: Blues Positively Beaten 6-3.

No sense in whining about another home loss. At least this time they lost to a team that was supposed to beat them. In the interest of turning all of you into emo whiner cutters, I'm gonna keep it positive around here tonight. Ready? Here are the positives:

  • Andy Murray's personal losing streak has ended for now.
  • Mike Weaver put a hit on Patrick Sharp that was so heavy that the entire crowd yelled, "BOOM!" when it was shown on replay. If a four-foot-two guy can lay out a guy like that, maybe all of the otrher Blues can learn from it.
  • Keith Tkachuk has learned how to score goals soccer style.
  • Speaking of Tkachuk, I won a signed jersey of his a couple months ago in an auction and wore it for the first time tonight looking for a switch of our luck. Well, the Blues still lost, so it's not good luck for the team. But Tkachuk scored, so it must be good luck for him. But then he did lose a bunch of his teeth in knocking in the goal with his mouth, so maybe that's not good luck for him. But his dentist is psyched.... Maybe we'll just call that one a wash.
  • Who knew Jonathan Toews was so stupid? Why in the world would he challenge David Backes to a fight? Backes is gonna be crapping out little pieces of Toews for two days now.
  • Davis Payne has had exactly zero practices and zero time to fully analyze his roster. Gotta hope that with a few days of preparation ahead of him that we'll see a much better team on Wednesday.
  • Staying positive; I heard almost no calls for Payne to be fired. Almost none.
  • On the way home, Son of GT postulated that "Towel Boy must be responsible for the Blues' bad luck. He's at every game and they're bad, but he skipped Sweden and they were good." Not sure about the science behiond that, but it makes a father's heart warm to see that he's raising his kids the right way.

Feel free to add more positives in the comments. To finish up, here's the biggest positive of the night:

BOOM goes the Weaver-mite!

Adding to the towel boy theory

He was absent for the first 2 goals against Vancouver, then appeared after the 3rd – and final – Blues goal. You know, right before they blew their 3 goal lead.

just a shitty game

however, keeping it positive here’s my list.
• got the game on tv — it’s always a crap shoot if this is gonna happen
• brewer scored. he actually looked pretty good. a few times i was like nice play, who was that … wha?
• we learned ben eagearforcock has no balls. guy won’t fight cam.
• perron shoving versteeg into the ice and then calling him names in the box. frenchie might be the new claude lemiuex.

that’s all i got. hopefully things turn around. i was just settling into stage five — acceptance. now what?

I didn’t see this, but that is kinda funny. Pretty sure I’d just be confused if someone started talking shit with a Quebec accent.

i said it jokingly to

but what was with all the hawks fan like who’s house is this.. well weve won 5 gms here all year so not ours.. they thought they were so amazing that they won.. did anyone honestly expect anything different than what happened tonight

with as bad as we have been at home.. learning somewhat of a new style in roughly 12 hrs.. and playing a damn good chicago team.. i had that feeling it wasnt gonna be pretty

You want to see something funny

Go look at the hawks wrapup. I have never seen someone cry so hard about winning a hockey game. In my oppinion jackmans elbow hit whatshisface in the upper chest and weaver went off his skates(after the hit) because he didn’t except to go right through sharp. When jackman and eager were dancing at the end, eager throws the first punch and im not sure jackman has his glove off. Then they start hugging and eager is talking to the refs like look at him punch me, its all his fault officer. Did frenchy drive (byfug?)s face into the ice? Yeah he did, can’t really argue. Backes fighting Teows was a riot, like our first line center is some sort of enforcer. If teows didnt want to throw he shouldn’t have.

All Second city did was cry bloody murder about how mean we are just enforcers WAHHH WAHHH. If we could hit a fucking open net or have Mason play like he did at the beginning of the year that game would have been differant, but it wasn’t and atleast we showed heart which is something that has been lacking.

I've just spent the last hour or so

sparring with the folks over there. I haven’t kept up that many lines of thought at once in a looooong time. I feel like I held my own, too. Check it out, but please don’t get them even more riled up. That’ll just spill over to here, and it’ll be big mess….

The Blues definitely had a different vibe tonight.

If they were capable of this pace without Payne having a chance to “coach” it much …. where was it before tonight? That being said, the mere fact of the coaching change has lifted the team a little. How long will that last?

I wonder if AM was watching on TV tonight? I’m sure he was – you don’t turn off the coaching switch that easily. I wonder what he saw that was different?

Tonight gave me more questions than answers, I guess.

I thought we had a great start

The first period was awesome. Great hits the fans got into it.
The second period the train began jumping the track and by the third period all the cars were laying on their sides in a jumbled mess.
Luckily we’re off a few days and heading out of town.
Are the players looking forward to supper to soon? I’ve no clue but something’s got to give for these home games.

by luvhockey on Jan 2, 2010 10:35 PM CST reply actions  

Positives...

I’m positive that the next game’s going to be much better, and not just because it’s a road game. Payne’s got a few days to prepare the guys. If we can take the energy we had tonight (esp. from the 1st period) and carry that through a whole game, PLUS actually score, the Sharks are going to be sore Thursday morning.

I’m also loving the fact that the chippiness is back between the two teams.

Just curious....

Was there some type of official roadtrip Chicago fans planned for tonights game? I have never seen so many visiting team fans before, plus them being to vocal.

I know theres always plenty of Blackhawk &Red Wing fans that show up…. but SHIT!

no, that's not even the official trip...

the official Second City Hockey & friends trip is in February (I think I can mention it, it’s not top-secret). so if you thought this was something…heh.

this was probably still a holiday vacation crowd…

There was definitely something. 324 near me was packed with them, they were starting a lot of the Hawks chants and stuff over there. Then they won the Lumiere Place roulette buffet thing.
So now we’ll have fed them and they’ll never leave.

There's always a large group for weekend Hawks-Blues games here

There’s some group that puts together travel packages that brings them down. However, I think there will be a lot more here for the February game.

Well...its was as I expected!

Just got back to our ever so gracious host’s house from the game. As much as it sucks that they lost, it was still all sorts of fun being at the game. I went with the full expectation that we were going to lose this one hoping that I’d be pleasantly surprized. No such luck. Oh well, its was a rough day for the Blues overall and you can’t honestly expect a 180° turn around on the FIRST day of having a new coach.

Added bonuses from the night:
1) Got a physical copy of Game Time
2) Met some of you lovely Game Time folks in person
3) Saw the Pedobear tell a Fuckhawks fan “Fuck You”. He was trash “talking” the chicago moron, and then made a thrusting motion with his lower torso and then pointed at the guy. It was hysterical!!!!!
4) “Met” Perron & Sydor
5) Got 2 autographed sticks, and also had 2 hats, rally towels & a brand new Perron jersey autographed.
6) Weaver & Backes single handedly tried to kill Fuckhawks players. TOTALLY awesome.
7) The Fiance & I were AT A LIVE GAME IN ST LOUIS!!!

I’m sure I’ll recap more later! Just wanted to give ya’ll a quickie for now!!!!

The Weaver video is now up.

When I saw this live at the rink, I was standing at the section entrance waiting to go to my seat. I swear I heard Sharp’s equipment clack.

One of the best parts of this game is that if you play it right, a 4’2 midget can lay a dude out with a nice check.

by gallagher on Jan 3, 2010 1:04 AM CST reply actions  

That is just about THE sweeest friggin' hit I've ever seen...

As good as it sounded from Chase’s and Kerber’s call on The Mighty MOX, it looks even better.

Too bad that’s just about the only highlight of the evening if you bleed blue… well, that and Brewer’s goal.

Too bad there’s no video of Benny Apparently-Not-So-Eager-To-Get-His-Ass-Kicked-By-Cam-Janssen being the world’s biggest kitty.

Meow, Benny. Meow.

(Top Cat cartoons FTW!!!)

I loved it when Chaser called him a phony on the air.

Conklin sucked

Its about time this team gets/trades for an All-star calibur goaltender. The depth at goaie is awful.

They're not exactly easy to come by, you know...

Let’s say you had an All-Star caliber goaltender. What would you want from the Blues in exchange for said goaltender?

If conklin hadn't gotten shelled last night

He would be top 10 in save% and GAA. His stats were better than broduer and Luongo who are both slightly better than 10th in the league. Mason is roughly a top20 guy.
