I am being lazy I hate clicking on the blues logo to come back to the previous article

I like to be on the front page where its one click and I get to see all the wonderful insight from my fellow blues fans

for some reason it feels closer than that.

i wonder how long i will last before i end up adding the necessary channels and find myself watching the blues and stoking up my hopes?

My hopes are already too high....

Typical

Can't wait for games to start back up.

Once it's January and we are near the top of the conference again I will probably let myself get tricked into believing again.

I'm seriously considering Gamecenter again, even though I hate it. (frank)ing cable companies are such a rip off...

My problem with Gamecenter is I have FSMW in Chicago but the games are blacked out because I don't pay for the extra hockey package

If I get FSMW I should get blues games

I get frickin Cardinals games that I could do without

but no Blues games

What if I happen to want to watch the Ducks each time that they play the Blues? Can I get their feed?

yeah dish has a sports package and it gives you all of the foxsports regional channels and they are all always blacked out....wtf is the deal with that? oh yeah they want me to pay for center ice. not happening. not when then blues games are blacked out, which makes no sense, even for the contracts signed.

i have to get the largest non premium channel package to watch the two three blues games on nbc sports.

so yeah it has been nice saving fifty bucks a month without those channels.

Maybe it's time to give the NHL the ol' MLB treatment? If I catch a game, great, otherwise fuggetaboutit.

Living in a split hockey household

that is our motto

But the hawks are obvi on every night in my house we just choose to watch other tings

we enjoy speaking to each other more than watching a hawks game

Another rule in the household is if we do watch a Hawks game it is always on mute

Foley and Eddie O are awful

How Olzykfkjlas;lkdfj got a national color commentary gig is beyond me. He's terrible.

I don't mind Foley. I've lived in the Blues, Kings, and Blackhawks market. Ranking the voices that I've listened to over the years:

Dan Kelly
Ken Wilson
Pat Foley
John Kelly
Jim Fox

Nothing against John Kelly, I just don't think he's all that great.

Can't stand John Kelly. Apparently he inherited all of his broadcasting talent from his mother.

Steen - Lehtera - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Stastny - Jaskin/Fabbri
Berglund - Backes - Brouwer
Ott - Brodziak - Reaves

Super big fan of these lines. Getting Schwartz away from Tarasenko gives him more of an opportunity to shine offensively.

People complain about the level of skill of this team. There is a lot of skill there. Having Steen with Tarasenko and Lehtera provides more balance. Will Steen ever have another year like the year he had when he scored 33 goals? I'm kinda thinking he won't...

We know what he'll do. He'll stick that chuckle-head David Backes on the top line.

But Carcus has it right.

The only downside to this line up is the speed of the third line. One guy is going to always have to play high in the zone because they'll be slow on the back check...
