04/06 Road Music: @ Chicago Blackhawks

PrintWell .... that settles it. Last nail in the coffin. Let the season postmortems begin.
What I've said before is doubly true now. These last games of the season will reveal the character of this team. Do they pack it in? Do they play with something to prove to themselves.... and/or the fans?
There's nothing more to say about the 'Hawks. They're a tough team, and a legitimate contender this year. They just played last night, a 5-2 win over Dallas. Shitcago jumped out to an early lead (00:36 into the game) and never looked back. Granted, the Dallas goalie was some guy that may or may not have been bussed in from the Federal League... Nonetheless, it'll take a complete effort to win this game, nothing less.
Further Reading:
Also, there's nothing left to say to summarize this season, except for, maybe, the NSFW lyrics to this song....
And, once again, this is your pregame pre-party. The puck drops at 7:30 St Louis time, the GDT drops shortly beforehand. Until then, meet here, celebrate the return of TV broadcasts, blow up the team for the 1,024th time, and speculate as to which Chicago player this is (wink and nudge to spectr17):
(personally, I think the nose is a dead giveaway)
See you there-
LGB!

You know, I'm sick of the moping
Fuck the feel sorry for ourselves shit, lets go kick some Blackhawk ass. I want Patrick Kane’s head on a stick.
Breaking News: I'm currently in the process of writing "I will not say and/or type "that word" 1,000 times.
Or an easter basket..
Sighh..
For the record, I am not moping, except about NOT getting to see my (our) Blues play on TV tonight.
Fuck Dish Network and Fox Sports Midwest.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Hell Yeah
Hoping Weaver tries to lighten up the atmosphere with another round of attempted manslaughter.
well....
I’m officially in mourning moping
but that Blackhawk azz kicking outta cheer my gloomy azz right up
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
I feel oddly liberated
Why, I don’t know – I think it’s because my mourning period is a nanosecond long from being conditioned from the Thrashers and Blues, or maybe it’s because I’m watching a sports team that isn’t giving me fits/urges to cut myself – well, yet at least.
That, and I enjoy ripping apart corpses of failed seasons, bitching about them, and then moving on to the draft.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
Kind of the same
Putting it in perspective—it’s a game. A game I watch. Mind you, I’m very passionate about the Blues but in the big scheme of things….you get the picture.
Moving along to the next phase of the Blues and the next sport.

Actually, I'm wearing pastel green.
It’s my version of a mourning color. More springtime.

Can I just say that that Oshie picture/caption combo made my day?
The only thing better would be, well, a Blues win! Hopefully our local Buffalo Wild Wings has the game tonight.
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"
wont be around too much
I have to do this stupid ass project thats due tomorrow DX

is going to haunt my dreams. Oh and I agree that we have to go out there and kick some ass. Show them what to expect next year when we don’t have Swedish Death Magic against us the first half of the season.
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.
Yes
But Janssen and King on a line and tell them they neither is getting re-upped unless they return the head of Toews to the bench. Now we see who our team really is. Do they have the pride to go out and play like they still have something left, or are they just going to pack it in. I say we go out and make the ice run red with std tainted blackhawk blood!
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
Crosby and Malkin. Two girls, one cup.
Put Janssen and King on a line and tell them neither is getting re-upped unless they return the head of Toews to the bench.
Kane’s head would work for me just as well…

How much puck can a Tkachuk chuck if a
Walt sitting it appears. Any word on Kinger or Cam?
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
From JR's Twitter feed
For Wednesday’s game: Tkachuk (lower-body) is questionable . . . Berglund (upper-body) and Jackman (upper-body) are out. about 24 hours ago via TweetDeck
Tkachuk won’t play tonight. He has plans to visit TV/radio booth. Expect him to make his NHL retirement official. 16 minutes ago via TweetDeck

I caught that.
Kind of sad that he played so long and scored so many points, and all he got for it was his teeth being knocked out by a TJ Oshie slapper. I really do appreciate his dedication to the team. I hope he hangs around in the organization for sure.

Word.
he’s made no secret about his fondness for STL. Gotta like a guy that commits to the whole town.

will kmox.com stream the game
or do you have to go somewhere else?
You do that... you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and..... you feel shame, you know. And then you get freed.
I would expect so.
remember, the link from the Blues website is usually ahead of the KMOX.com link…

Ha, Blackhawk homers blaming Payne for all the fighting
players just trying to impress new coach according to them
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
that was the party line
when we played them for Payne’s first game (his hire was announced that morning). We were gooning it up because he told them to (yeah right). nobody believed me when I said we could skate with Chicago.
later, we beat them, and lose a close one….
now it’s back to that theme, now? Figures….

Totally unrelated trivia
well kind of hockey related in a semi round about way.
Dan Quinn will be the caddie for Ernie Els in the Masters.

Kopecky out from injury yesterday
BH homers not sure if the call up dude is playing or not on 4rth line with Eager and ?

Lord give me strength
BH homer,
Blues don’t have anything to play for
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
Another semi unrelated question/comment
How come on my fantasy baseball they have highlight videos a few innings after something happens and hockey didn’t have anything like that through NHL??
For instance I have Garrett Jones on my fantasy team—he hit a 3run homer in the first. 3rd inning and I have a little button to click next to his name and wallah there is the replay.
Annoying that NHL is treated like a stepchild

baseball moves at a slow enough pace
and with frequent predetermined breaks, so it allows for editing/uploading on the fly.
Hockey is faster, and less predictable stoppages (aside from intermissions, of course)

I watch Blackhawk games on the little TV just in case I lose it and break it. Cheaper that way
