OK, this losing thing.... it's getting old, real quick. And you know what they say about getting old.... things don't work like they used to..
This is a familiar song, but covered by legendary bluesman Junior Wells. It has since been appropriated for use in an ad for Viagra. If there's anyone that needs help scoring, it's definitely the Blues.
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction / Junior Wells
The Enemy: In contrast to last night, the Canucks are the top team in their division, coming into tonight with a 14-7-3 record (8-2-1 at home). They've won 4 in a row, including 6-1 against San Jose, and, in their last game, a 3-0 shutout of the Blackhawks (Roberto Luongo stopping 32 shots). Aside from the Sedin sisters, players to watch out for include Ryan Kesler and former Red Wing Mikael Samuelsson, each with 17 points on the year. Young up-and-comer Mason Raymond also has 17 points on the year, but will not be playing due to illness. Luongo is putting up good numbers this year (2.54 / .920), and is backstopped by Cory Schneider (2.08 / .940 in 6 appearances this year). Sadly, it looks like Roberto is starting again tonight, so expect an excited chorus of "Looooooouuuuu" whenever he makes the most routine of saves. I swear, he stops a dump in, and half of BC wants to celebrate and give him the Vezina.
Further Reading:
The puck drops tonight at 8:00 PM St Louis time, with the GDT dropping shortly before that. The TV broadcast, as usual, is FoxSportsMW, and on radio at KMOX 1120AM. Until then...well, with the way the 'Nucks and Blues have been playing lately, take advantage of the late start time by stocking up on booze. Tonight's poison at my place: Jim Beam.

The only bright spot in this dreary rainy day here in SoCal is the Rams won and Cal and Gary are giving them paste eaters from Chicago fits. 2-2 end of first almost.
Off to walk these floors some more

Andy Mac – day to day with “upper body injury” (I HATE that phrase). I’m going with concussion – he’ll be re-evaluated tomorrow when they return home.

Not to be pessimistic
but I don’t have a good feeling about this game.
I hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

With Andy out, we just went from struggling to score to how the fuck are we going to score. Anyway, LGB and here’s to hoping for a surprise win tonight.
Put Halak or Conk up front

Hearing the Happy Meal Explosion last night...
was just the icing on the cake of an awful night….UGH.
Lets Go Blues!! (somehow I hope we can pull this off – but I forsee it being like a team of 9 playing 2 1/2 periods of rec hockey = utter disaster)
Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!

On a lighter note,
even though I don’t watch baseball unless absolutely nothing else is on, apparently we signed Lance Berkman to a one year contract.
I'm still failing to see how this signing will help the Cards.
But then, maybe I don’t see the wisdom of signing a guy Berkman’s age…

it doesnt
the cards are run by morons.

he can fill an outfield spot and add some more offense.

Always liked Big Puma.
Cannot wait to see that 3-4-5 punch. Hell, they can mix-and-match those three spots now.

My McDonald prediction?
Broken jaw, nose and orbital bone and a concussion so severe he won’t play again until 2012. I mean, it is the Blues.
