Pot, meet Kettle.

You are both black, and no, that is not racist.

You need to learn everything I post is tongue in cheek Carcus.

Look in the mirror Blueman. Just recently you posted some pretty nasty stuff directed at Adam French, because you jumped the gun and didn't read his blog and decided to kill him based on the title.

His hate is over the top on the Blues. It is more an act than anything, right Ogi?
- carcus

Carcus just be quiet. I do not care what you say. You are a spectator of life, never a participant just a watcher.

The Blues got this.

They got their big guys rested up. Miller righted his ship. There is another gear this team has not displayed yet this season and they absolutely dominated a number of games.

They got all the bad decisions, bad shot choices, bad bounces out of their system at the right time of year. Now the puck luck will swing back to them.

You have never met me.

You did say some nasty things, no different than Ogi. It is not the first time.

And after you were nice to him too. Just goes to show you can't trust mullets and jorts.

I don't have a mullet, but a playoff mullet may be in order this year.

Hey, it works for Kane, it might just work for me as well.........

No comment on the jorts.

And they're getting healthy. Not 100% but neither are the hawks.

Toews is going to have a hard time. Shoulder injuries don't bode well in the playoffs.

WE REALLY NEED TARASENKO BACK.

I DONT THINK IT IS A SURPRISE THAT THE BLUES FELL APART SOON AFTER HE WAS OUT OF THE LINEUP.

I THINK WE WILL TAKE THE SERIES BUT IT WILL NOT BE EASY.

JUST LIKE THE SERIES VS THE KINGS LAST YEAR. THE DEFENDING CHAMPS ARE ALWAYS THE HARDEST TO ELIMINATE.

Tarasenko became more important after the Blues moved Stewart.

Dare I say it, Carcus might have been right about keeping Stewart around. Especially considering that side of the deal. Unless Ott proves some value real quick, which he has not most games, that part of trade might be Armstrong's worst trade.

I not saying I like Stewart or think he is more than a bump on a log most games and in his own zone but the other teams had to respect his ability to score and that gave the Blies goal scoring depth and more for the opposing coach to think about.

Ott has to have an edge but he needs to think goal, score, go to the net first.

I know I have never met you.

Maybe that should change. I know I am getting better with things.

You still do not understand the catharsis one can get venting about a bad game or hit on here.

It is hard for to watch sports like most people I want to be there doing the figting. Especially since we I can back home from the war the second time and immersed myself deeply into hockey so as to avoid dealing with what was on my plate.
But that is changing. Hockey is going back a to a normal healthy place in my life. I am dealing with the stuff I did and saw.

I am not quite all the way there so excuse me if I over ramp myself up with responses man. I am just getting some control over it.

I harbor a particular hate inside for those my age or a little younger who staid home making money, mostly by stealing it and causing this country to crash. It was one of the things I saw coming home, a group of guys my age all in suits, living it up and I was alone in the bar. I could not be around old friends and could not deal with people without some booze. And. I saw those men there laughing, enjoying life and I could barely stand to be alive.

Then shortly after that the economy began to crash.

I wonder if you can see the connection the betrayal one might feel seeing that happen. That instability, the fear you smell and sense everywhere so much like war beginning.

That's the nightmare, to know just how fragile peace is and that war could come anywhere at any moment. Starngely, I would be at home in a combat zone and sleep better. I would feel whole againi. But I would not want it. I am still trying to come home. I am almost there. I almost have made peace with it.

So forgive me for being an a$& at times or being too beligerent.

That is all I have asked from you and yet over and over and over again you have taunted me. Maybe you do not realize it but you have. Others have noticed it. Don't worry, I am hardly afraid of you, but when you mess with a tiger you can be assured it will come at you.

The key to moving Stewart mainly was to get his salary off the books for next season.

IMO he had fallen to the level of being no value to the Blues at all. It was Brad Boyes redux.

The Blues were right to cut their losses with him at the time they did.

If Chris Stewart is a difference maker somehow, something has gone terribly wrong.

I don't taunt you. I just don't ignore some of the stuff you say, like others seem to do. I don't expect you to be afraid of me, I am not even sure why you would type that.

Wanted to say something about this as well. I am sorry that you feel that way. I didn't serve in the military, it was never something I was interested in. But part of that was because I didn't believe that they would accept me even if I wanted to. I have Scoliosis, and had two surgeries to help correct it. The second one came weeks after my high school graduation with metal rods fused to my spine after correcting the curve significantly, to keep it from getting worse in the future. It took me about a year before I was back to normal again moving around. Was told before the surgery that it depended on how my body reacted to if I could ever do a lot of normal things, like play contact sports again. I didn't have any issues, and can now do everything as if I never had the surgery, including play hockey.

About a year after my surgery, I served as a missionary for my church for two years in Argentina. When I came home, I went back to school and got married shortly after. I worked full time while going to school full time. By the time I finished school, we had our second daughter about two weeks after graduation, and I found an entry level accounting position. I now have a 3rd girl, and another child on the way, which we will find out the gender next Monday.

I am not one of "those guys" at the bar laughing it up in a suit. I don't even drink so you would never find me there anyway. I work hard, and go home when I am not going to a Blues game directly from work. I love my life, but I have nothing to do with those you were referring to.

Have a great day, and I hope you continue to get better.

It looks like there's a good chance Tarasenko plays tomorrow night. Oshie is the only top player that is iffy for game one.

Stewart wasnt providing any scoring depth, at least not against the good teams. If he were still on the team I am pretty sure he would disappear in these playoffs the way he has every time before.

The guy I miss right now is Perron. He would provide that scoring depth and have the ability to fill in on the top line if needed. I doubt Paajarvi contributes much at all, if he ends up seeing ice.

Sorry to hear about your back.

That is an interesting life. You definitely are not a spectator after all. Glad to hear it.

I do not know why but I thought you might have been one of those guys. I am really tired of my mind doing that to me.

My apologies.

One important thing is that I get so emotional watching the game that I react after it.

Still I do not think I am usually terribly off about players. But anyway, turns out you are inspiring nonetheless.

Yeah I was shocked at how much Magnus was unable to score during that time.

I just read that about Tarasenko. I think there is some kind of tricks going on here.

Yeah like having eight forwards go down.

A Blues blogger sure would be nice. How long does it take to have a baby?

Geez, its the PLAYOFFS!!!

Saw Oshie and Berglund are out tonight, all other players are back. Hoping its not a concussion with Oshie, don't need to go through that again with a star player on the Blues.
