03/13 Road Music: @ Columbus Blue Jackets

by CrossCheckRaise on Mar 13, 2010 11:35 AM CST

During the best of times, the Columbus team is a hard one to write about. With Nash out of the line up ... damn near impossible. Seriously ... I scrolled through my mp3s, looking for a song that fit the bill. As it worked out, it was in alphabetical order by artist. I finally found it when I got down to ... ZZ Top.

So, now that the Blue Jackets are out of playoff contention, they are ready to start playing the role of spoiler for other teams. Despite Rick Nash's absence, they have won two in a row, and are 5-3-2 in the last ten games. This is a game that the Blues should win - a weaker opponent, even more so without their franchise player. This is exactly that the Blues can NOT be thinking. Overlook these guys, and it'll bite you on the ass, every time. There's still talent on this team. Our guys can not let up at all - they need to take advantage of the situation, and bear down on them all the more. Run up the goals, if you can... make that rink completely ours. When we meet again (04/05 in St Louis), I want them to remember how we OWNED Nationwide Arena back on 03/13.

Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered
With my New York WIN and my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble 'cause they know I got it made

I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide / ZZ Top

What I'm basically wanting to tell the Blues is this:

I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man.

Of all the injuries to a Dman

a dinged up foot is the one that causes the most scratches. You can get by with a bent wing, broken nose, busted up teeth but with a bad wheel you really can’t do shit but be a hat rack out there. With no mobility the forwards pickup on it real fast and turn you into a pylon. Some guys used to take shots of cortisone and go out like that but with that shit you can really main a limb for good. I hope Polak can go as long as he isn’t a liability on the ice.

Fuck, Blackhawks (Versteeg of all dickmunchers) just tied up the Flyers 1-1 in the turd.

I started wearing them ankle guards like the Plagers used after a few lumps

I had two pair. One was rectangular shaped and one pair was figure 8 shaped. The figure 8 shaped ones looked the kewlest but they didn’t cover shit. The other pair made you look like a robot but they did help.

I don’t see many Dmen wear them until after they get a lump on their ankle. I wonder why.

Bwaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

Epic cross ice pass to Pronger to score with 2 seconds left for Philly to beat them chalkeaters from Chicago. Huet went Belfour on the crossbar with his stick. LMAO. Meltdown in progress at 2nd City.

We're bad, we're nationwide...

Awesome tune for today, CCR.

Which, incidentally, is a band you haven’t used a tune from yet… may I suggest “Run Through The Jungle” when the Blues are nASHville on April Fools’ Day.
