No links today, I have too many other things to do. Apparently I'm a machine and can write stories and produce special sections with ease. Who needs sleep and days off? Plus, it's not like anything is going on — I'm not going to talk about Kovie until he actually suits up for the Devils
But enough about me, how are you all? Since this is an open thread, I'll give you something to chat about: Let's say nothing goes wrong for the Blues this year — no major injuries, no sub-par seasons — where do the Blues end the season? Simply put: If the Blues have a perfect year, what is the outcome?
For your viewing pleasure: Donald Duck stars in Full Metal Jacket.
Links will return Thursday.

hey....
we need one more in the fantasy A league…..its odd numbered right now and without even numbers of players the league wont start…
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Any idea if the other
league has an odd number also?
I need to bookmark that league also so I can see how all of us are doing.
I have a feeling my entire team will be Hawks or Wings with all the people putting them on the do not draft side.

B league has 16 in it
And, according to my math, that’s even.
Never been good at math, though….

So I turned on the tv this morning
and I see, home for the Blues hall of fame.
I see construction going on, thinking maybe it’s in Kiel.
Then I realize it’s for our namesake, which is good I suppose, just a sort of let down.A

Fan-freaking-tastic.
The way St. Louis has always neglected its musical history, I was sure this would be a project in Chicago or Memphis or New Orleans. I hope they do the project right.
Oh,
I say they make the playoffs and a first round exit, second tops
That’s the mediocre we’re used to

But you said "perfect" year
The only perfect year ends with a Stanley Cup parade.
I don’t think its likely but anything less would be imperfect.
If I was placing a bet I’d say 2nd round exit.

That video is all sorts of ridiculously hilarious.
Anyway, if the Blues have no injuries, no internal issues, no sub-par seasons from anyone . . . they could very well win the Central – provided that Nashville also doesn’t have the same luck, since I think they’re better – but wouldn’t get the top seed in the West. At the very least, they would make the playoffs in that scenario, and quite easily . . . and could also win a series or two in the playoffs under this scenario.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I laugh at the people who write off the Preds every year.
No one’s been able to do more with less than Barry Trotz. I do think though that if we had a perfect regular season we could finish first in the Central, with Chicago and the Preds behind us. I’m not writing the Wings off, but I do hope that all of their hips explode at once.

Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.
God, yet another reason to invest in that PS3.
I want to see if I can pummel them so much that all of Grand Rapids has to be called up to the NHL. Livin’ the dream!

Barry Trotz is a Sontaran.
Thank God he doesn’t have a budget to work with, or we’d all be doomed.
Imagine him on a big market team?
I appreciate his loyalty to Nashville and the fact that he hasn’t cut and ran yet – and I’m always impressed that the Preds scrounge up enough cash to keep him from bolting.

It ends with Mike Emrick saying something to the following:
“The final seconds are ticking off in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals here in Washington, and at long last, after 40 plus years of coming so close, after 3 sweeps in the Finals in their first 3 seasons, after 25 seasons of making the playoffs in a row with nothing to show for it, the St. Louis Blues have finally captured their 1st Stanley Cup!”

Rec'd for awesomeness
Except, I would only hear Doc saying that on the DVD because I would be in the arena.
And I would be holding up the sign that you see here as my avatar picture in at least one of the crowd shots.

Perfect?
uh… the stanley cup and each round is a sweep.

Perfect season?
We win the cup against Boston or Montreal. If it’s Boston, David Backes flies past the Bruins’ goal. If it’s Montreal, we then repeat the next year.
I will never doubt the team
I always predict a Stanley Cup victory, I’ll be right someday and the you will all feel dumb
Look I'm sure youre a nice person and everything but that Redwings jersey you're wearing makes me want to cave your face in with my fist...it's not you it's me and the fact that you're a fucking Redwings fan
a perfect year?
that would end in the middle of the month of june on 14th and clark in a huge fuckin parade!!!

perfect year?
pah!
need perfect storm. we lost goals in the offseaon and didnt score enough of them last season anyway. this “grown up kids line” mentality is just mental until a perfect storm actually hits them in the testoserone
no storm- payne is being booed feb 12
the kids are alright- blues battle for playoff spot entire year
a growth spurt leads to an o spurt- blues win their first playoff series under current owners

I think we have a better team than Monreal
and with Halak back there, we could end up better.
He just has to duplicate his numbers (and his play) then we have a shot
Even if we don’t have the Jewish Jet’s scoring thrust.
As long as development continues, we’ll be solid, and for years to come.
Let’s look at perfect yearS, not just this one!

That would be me. The team motto is you never know when the mood is gonna be right for victory.
BOOM SHAKA HALAKA!
Since this makes me think of NBA Jam, I wonder if Halak will magically transform into a brick wall if he makes 10 saves in a row, ala Wayne Gretzky hockey on the N64.

I'm just hoping
for a decent number of home wins, and no more home-ice third period meltdowns. Those games were not a lot of fun, and there were way too many of them last year.
I think the perfect season...
would have to be having the team makes a trip to Detroit for a game, but they gut sucked up into a vortex/worm hole and land in Mt. Pleasant. Everyone from SLGT gets sucked into the same worm hole and they land in Mt. Pleasant as well.
So then this massive group is walking around town and they wander aimlessly until they spot a bumpin’ party. I hear a knock on the door, and I open the door and the Blues and my SLGT friends are on my front porch.
HOLY SHIT! come on in you guys!
Hildymac walks in towing kegs behind her while the players triumphantly hold up bottles of really expensive liquor. Cam Smash brings a shit ton of pot. One by one, all of SLGT and the blues players come into my apartment carrying the necessary means for a successful party.
And then we get drunk!

Semi off topic
It was announced on KMOX hockey night that the Cards are coming back to KMOX
I think it was also said that playoff games from both teams would be there and the team that gets bumped goes to y98.
No more Blues as 3rd class citizens that get bumped during Cards early season games

Methinks this foreshadows a Blues move back to 550.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I'm calling a move to FM.
101.1 failed in its bid to get the Cards; they’ll go after the Blues.
Blues need some success this season to rebuild the out-of-town radio network. Games will sound better locally on the FM signal, but it doesn’t carry as far as the ’MOX.
Perfect year???
We win the Cup followed by the carpet bombing of Detwat and Fuckcago………
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
