As much as I’d love to forward this to Blues fans I do not think they know how to read. The only two words they know how to spell is Fu#k Detroit.

kate, you’re so clever, lets see if you can read this, get Fu#ked

Well, they don’t call them or their fans the Bitter Blues for nothing.

As for the article, he missed Ericsson...picked dead last in the 2002 draft.

Thus proving kate’s point, downey’s. Thanks for helping out.

Wow, I think downey’s is one of the VERY Bitter Blues fans.  Hey downey’s, how’s that 6-million dollar a year contract the Blues signed Kariya to working out for ya?  No goals in like, what, 25 games?  Money well spent if you ask me.

Blues fans are at the golf course. They golf in April now.

Now there are three words. The third one being “get.”

but none of us are superstitious, right o-joe?

i actually feel pretty good about saturday’s game.  preds will come out hitting, but i feel confident in the wing’s ability to respond. unfortunately i fully believe tootoo will be goading everyone like a motherhead. mccarty or downey will be smart, though, so there may not be a beat down unless the game is well in hand. actually i think that thurs close game prevented the preds from really head hunting the way they usually do.

Trotz has told them not to take penalties, because the Wings PP will kill them.  But if a game gets away from them, look out!

Speaking of powerplays...did anyone else see the Dallas - Anaheim game last night?

I had sup69port a little while ago. Nothing comes to mind on that one.

Baroque - yes I did.  The Poultry’s penalty trouble really bit them last night.

Watching the Caps/Flyers game.  Wow @ Fedorov.  He is still smooth as silk skating with the puck.  He just looks different, somehow, from everyone else.  You don’t even have to recognize him or see his number to know it’s him.

You stay classy DownySoftOne.

The contrast between PredNeck and the DownySoftOne is alarming.

The BBF are now taking potshots from Nashville fans - BRILLIANT (-!)

Forwarded to The Douche Canoe, Grapes, Chrissy Pronger, and Ron Wilson (special thanks to the NSA for their email addresses).  That’s my good deed for the day.  Time to chase cats and set fire to things…

A real ‘statement’ game today would help a lot, if not to send a message, then at least to ease steam pressure on the Stress Train.  Something along the lines of skill and smooth skating beating physicality would be good, something like the 5-0 shutout of the Poultry last year.  And everyone getting through injury-free, with no talk of suspensions (I didn’t see the hit, but the mutterings are making me nervous).  And while we’re at it Santa, I want a pony, ten thousand dollars cash, and a firetruck full of puppies and hookers.
