Blues Lose To Hawks 6-5
Stop me if you've heard this one before.
- Blues get off to a great start, look good, seem to be in command.
- Just like that the Blues fall apart. They give up a ton of goals. They play like dogshit.
- Blues, when everything seems down and out, they start a comeback. It's slow, but it's there. And it gets a little momentum.
- And just when you think they don't have enough time to pull the comeback off, they get right on the doorstep, pull nearly even.
- But in the end it was too little too late and it's obvious to everyone that as time expires, they just dug too deep a hole to climb out of.
Am I talking about the 2009-10 season or Wednesday night's game against the Blackhawks where the Blues scored first, allowed four straight goals in the first period, got down 6-1, somehow clawed back to 6-4 as time was running out, Brad Boyes scored on a penalty shot with half a minute left after Andy McDonald took a stick to the ear on a breakaway, yet Chicago held on for a 6-5 victory.
Thanks Blues for providing a microcosm of the entire season in just 60 minutes.
Ok, and Keith Tkachuk retired. More on him in the morning.

Nice tribute to Walt up at Puck Padre:

And yep. I could have watched just that one game and understood our team this season. And last. And the year before last… it’ll change, though. It’ll change.
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.
It was good to see
that the boys were playing angry towards the end of the 2nd, and the third. It’s good to know they were feeling the same thing we were. how this translates to ANOTHER emotional game (Walt’s last), well, we can only guess.
Blues Hockey!

.... and I'm outta here
I’ll have a final Road Music for the Nashville game, then probably a retrospective after the
regular season’s over.
Good Night, all.

OW.
From Joe Strauss on Twitter:
If Cardinals don’t win a playoff game in six years there’s a call for new ownership. With the Blues, it’s a call for a group hug. #Mayberry
Good grief. Maybe that just has to do with the unrealistic standards of fans as opposed to the team itself. God. We’re all from the same town, and we all want the Blues and Cards to do well, so what the hell is the problem?
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.
strauss
i have strong opinions about the man. great writer, good reporter, but thinks hes the smartest man in the room. he think hes knows EVERY sport.
comparing the cards and blues is just silly. cards: most successful national league franchise of all time. blues: lovable losers.
besides, group hug? who the fuck is he kidding? he must not come around here.
I think he, like a lot of "respectable journalists"...
… are scared of us. Sad, because I think we offer up more truth than any other resource for the Blues.
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.
sorry... had to duck back in
has anyone reminded Mr Strauss that there HAS been an ownership change with the Blues.
Just sayin’

And that our situation's improving with said change.

The real surprise of this game
Was that Boyes scored a goal.
Why do hockey refs make such bad calls?
