It’s Just Two Games, Blues Fans

maybe you should post a link to this at PPP, they could use a reality check more than you do….

Although you’re completely right. But we have looked really sharp – hopefully it’ll stick this time. And hopefully we don’t lose 44-6 to Detroit.

Oh…I made myself sad. :-(

“Crap, it’s only the first two games of the season.”

I feel like such a Cubs fan right now: there’s all this joy and feelings of superiority, feelings enough to do the Church Lady Superiority Dance. Underneath, there’s this roiling dread of watching the home games implode like last year. I don’t like feeling like a Cubs fan. It’s different and the air smells like sweat and desperation and sadness.

this time we don’t have a coach who, after the team wins the first two games, proceeds to sit them down and show them videos of every single thing they did WRONG. Thereby totally screwing with their heads and their confidence.

I’m more confident in their start this year BECAUSE of the coach we now have.

why do you hate the blues?

And we all know how we did on the road last year. These were home games,one against a playoff caliber Flyers team and the other against a team a few points shy of us in the standings last year. The only thing that looks bad is the power play (no goals on a 7 min. PP?) , but the rest of the squad looks pretty good. Love “Brew” standing up for his man and throwing down. We didn’t see that last year did we? No, things are a little different this year. I agree though, let’s see where we stand after the penguin game.

brad posted his link, so i read the original and the first reply (which was mine)
like almost always, me telling what i saw after two games made people instantly think of urine. pemissism can be quite a cock blocker.

so should i do it here again?

i can’t.

it is very odd, the thing we did last year had me questing thing, the same stuff this year has me excited. i don’t feel as neutral about a 2-0 start this sec as i did a year ago today. why?

1) little to fix. i think the power play needs to find more net. end of list

2) we played teams i think we all have a good scope on their abilities. flyers a great team, ducks are currently beaten puppies. the blues LOOKED great almost all 123 minutes. and won against who they should and who they (perhaps) shouldn’t

3) the d is strong down to the last second of ice time played. i see no gifts being given, i was concerned alex might have not earned his spot, but his play is nhl quality, and the pairing are effective and i’ve no reason to assume they can not continue to be

4)we started every game (yea BOTH of them) BEFORE the puck dropped. there was no wait.
 that was NOT true last season, even in sweden.

5) they did it on home ice. i think even last year the fans would have been with the blues and expecting the playoffs until the elimination day passed had the team merely stopped kicking us groinally for 6 weeks.—- win at home. great. win entertainingly at home, better. come out at salute the home fans after both victories at center ice. bestest ever. will that EVER get tired?

i want to go to tonights blues game. someone get one sched and sell some tickets, i’ll start on the trivia. sean get tim peel out of rehab and on skates we might need him

/ducks

last year, by the midway point of the second game, the blues had started to show their true colors. so far this year the blues have been pretty consistent. also, to sit there and say that the blues could be destined for failure is saying that the blues learned nothing from last year and have not improved from last year. last year we may have jumped the gun because beating detroit is simply orgasmic, much less twice in a row. and while fans may be pretty pumped, it does seem to be more subdued than last year. you just gotta keep the hope! besides, how can we lose ANY game this year when we have Petro and Cola?

…Brad, you nattering nabob of negativism, you.

:-D

Enjoy the moment for what it is. Yeah, you’re right that the biggest test is yet to come, but that doesn’t mean that the tests they’ve faced to date are any less meaningful for having been passed.

I have an appt with my new spanish fortuneteller to look into the future. Standby for video

The only thing that has me scared that this is all an illusion is the fact that the boys have gone 2 for what seems like 30 on the PP. They went up against two of the most undisciplined teams in the league and had the PP time to show for it. But usually ended up passing and shooting and not scoring. Aside from that one tip in by Boyes, and Dags taking advantage of a wandering goalie, they haven’t produced anything even on the 5 on3s. I hope this doesn’t lead to the mentality of " go ahead and abuse the Blues, they can’t punish you for it".

I hope it starts to click in Nashville.

GO BLUES.

I want more “the Blues are obviously Stanley Cup faves” or “fuck the Blues, they’ll never winthe Cup.”
