More Captain Brewer!

Or is he with someone else? I guess he hasn’t played in the last couple of games.

Does Brad Winchester even still play for this team anymore? I haven't heard his name since the trade deadline.

but in all honesty

As hockey fans we are graced with hockey, whether it be a good Blues game, or a good game against the Blues. We played decent despite throwing the Peoria squad out there. I still have high hopes for next year. Hey, I read that we are now a spoiler team, if that is the case, lets play all of the hard hitters from Peo and see who gets Janssen’s spot for next year, unless he can fuck some people up really soon. I don’t want to go the Cooke road, but seriously, as many injuries as we have taken from random hockey god shits, I think we can fuck up a player or two on the teams we are playing against.

18. Have every defenseman miss an extended period of time.

Sorry, wait, have every NHL caliber defenseman miss an extended period of time.

19. Going on break around the 10-minute mark of the 2nd period

And forgetting to come back to play hockey.

20: Play 20 minutes of hockey a game instead of the usual 40 minutes. 60 minutes of play is overrated anyways.

21: Continue to finish just well enough to be out of the top 5 picks.

Mediocrity is a vicious feedback loop.

hmm

69: spend more money coming up with an advertising slogan than on free agency

70: speaking of advertising slogans, perhaps “who says a rudderless ship won’t reach the shore”. BANG saved ya like 12k.

71: or perhaps. Dave Checketts, just as committed to blues success and bill laurie is

72: or even, hey fans if you stop coming we plan on doing something drastic like hiring mike keenan

73 ok we lied no mike keenan, but do come for our maxium betts jersey honoring party and stay for the game… please?
