These kids haven't been afraid of the Red Wings in years past. That's a good thing. Hopefully the Blues, and Jaro, get back on track tonight.

It's Red Wings day today. If you can't get up for that, I don't want to be your friend. This is still my favorite video on the internet. The tears taste so good.

From the 4th Period article
“As the story goes, league executives wanted Baltimore to be the sixth franchise, but the late William Wirtz had an aging St. Louis Arena sitting empty and wanted a tenant. "
Actually, from what I heard, the NHL officials were ready to give Baltimore the franchise, but saw the Arena (then Civic Center) and deemed it was unfit for an NHL team. Baltimore’s loss is St. Louis’ gain I guess? Maybe that’s another weird reason I root for the Blues living in Baltimore, this would have been my hometown team

Let's go Blues!
Supposedly, Denver and the Stockyards Coliseum were in the running as well...
…but the NHL wasn’t willing to have a franchise go on a month-long road trip every January while the National Western Stock Show took over the building, and there weren’t any plans to build a different arena at the time.
I remember those road trips well every January when I was a kid following the Spurs in the old WHL and CHL… and the Coliseum was still a cool place to see a game the last time I went there for one, which was with the Colorado Rangers in 1988.
Instead of going to Oakland and Los Angeles, the NHL should have gone ahead into Baltimore and Denver back then.

Y'know, last year . . .
it seemed the Blues and Red Wings only played each other on Wednesday nights. Which kinda sucks, because I bowl on Wednesday nights.
Guess what?
Hey Bettman, fuck you and your scheduling department. Asshole.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
...and in Historic Macoupin County, a man's bowling schedule is nothing to fuck with.
People take that shit pretty seriously around these parts.
Remember when RP Lumber used to be The Alleys, King? My mom and aunts all used to bowl there when I was a kid, and my mom in particular was good. I think her high game was a 262 or something ridiculous like that…
My brother and I used to switch the salt and sugar in the shakers at the tables. Friggin’ brats…
Oh, and Red The Fuck Wings, today and every day.

That was around before I was born.
Mom and Dad bowled in leagues there before it shut down. Met most of their lifelong friends there. Must’ve been one hell of a place! Sadly I’ve only seen it in pictures.
And I would entertain thoughts of giving up a testicle for a 262, but I’d probably be reined in before I’d make such a rash move.

I will once again
be late for tonights 6:30 start. I don’t get home from work until 6:45.
Then of course food, clean up and the added bonus of clearing out the living room for new carpet arriving in the morning.
Eh, maybe that can wait until after the game.

That $39 experiment was epic....
Good stuff.

It's really hard for this team.
I mean their greatest player Brett Hull decided that he couldn’t take working for this shit team so he went to the Red Wings. I know I would make that choice.
You DID know that Hull came to Detroit from Dallas, right?

Yes I did know.
I am just giving you guys crap that he did end up in Detroit eventually. In all honesty I am excited for this game. The Blues are on the rise and I see this as a real measure for the Wings. I would love it if you guys turned into a real contender. Obviously I don’t want you to beat Detroit for the cup but I like seeing this rivalry, and I like seeing the central show people why it is the toughest division to play in. I mean if either of our teams were in the Eastern Division we would be a top 2 team every year.

That’s something that Blues’ and Wings’ fans can both agree on, I think. The Eastern Conference is full o’ pussies who take “road trips” in a taxicab…
Bonne chance, mon ami.

At least they know how to work a taxicab better than the Hawks.

It's bullshit come playoff time.
We are traveling 1000+ miles and multiple time zones, meanwhile eastern teams could possibly be traveling to the other end of town.
I think on that we can agree too
maybe…

Well after living in Dallas he figured he was close enough....
he might as well go all the way to Hell….Hell, Michigan that is. I heard he took a day trip once

Holy crap
Red Wings fans here early. Guess when Crosby isn’t around they like to act all confident :)
you guys sure can talk a lot of crap
for a team who has never won anything…and you act like Crosby owns us or something…in case you forgot we beat them also lol

Dude
It’s a sports rivalry. Talking crap is a given.
Anyway, I guess Crosby isn’t your main concern. Maxime Talbot was his Detroit gangbang partner for game 7 :D
yep the no name Talbot
who has done nothing since then…it happens lol

And what have the Red Wings done since they got their asses bikini-waxed by "the no-name Talbot," pray tell?
Don’t you guys have Three Billy Goats Gruff to eat or something?
