Going into this season, nobody had very excessive expectations for the Blues. Our greatest participant is Robert Thomas (at the moment nursing a damaged foot), and after him you might have a crew largely made up of fellows who would possibly make most different crew’s second line. MIGHT. Our ceiling is perhaps squeaking into the playoffs through a colossal collapse of the Predators, our ground is being demoted to the ECHL.
Who is that this random highschool gymnasium instructor within the picture above, the informal Blues fan might ask?
That’s Ryan Suter, a 39 yr previous former somewhat-dman who has not simply been purchased out once-but twice. Making him solely the 2nd participant in NHL historical past to get purchased out twice (mainly a crew telling a participant please take some cash and by no means play for us once more). And for some motive the Blues signed him as a substitute of letting any of our younger prospects resembling Tyler Tucker, Theo Lindstein, or Otto Stenberg get ice time.
The Blues are 17 video games in and are 7-9-1, however if you happen to’ve been watching recently you’d know that’s a miracle. The final 3 video games have been:
-getting boat raced on house ice on a Saturday night time by the Capitals of 8-1
-blowing a 2-0 lead going into the third interval Tuesday by giving up 3 unanswered to a struggling Bruins crew
-blowing one other third interval result in a below-average Sabres crew.
In order the bonafide most trusted voice in journalism for all issues Blues, I knew you guys is perhaps searching for one thing else to make you’re feeling much less depressed within the evenings. Don’t fear, I received you.
Listed here are the 5 issues extra entertaining than watching the Blues this season:
5. Go to an area previous people house and watch them play bingo-don’t take part on the sport, that stage of enjoyable isn’t wanted to beat out watching Ryan Suter try to be an efficient NHL ahead. Merely watch Grandma and Grandpa eat their cashews and never even discover once they’ve made BINGO.
4. This hour and 47 minute tutorial on use Microsoft Phrase. From 1989
3. Native highschool chess tournaments. Don’t sit too shut although, if you happen to see younger Timmy breaking a sweat when his opponent takes his bishop it could get too near getting extra thrilling than watching Jordan Kyrou be on tempo for lower than 20 targets for $8 million a yr!
2. The ultimate season of Recreation of Thrones. Have been you in a position to see a single fucking factor through the battle in opposition to the White Walkers, an enemy the present writers constructed up for like 5 years? Nope, however pitch black beats having to observe an influence play that Stephen Hawking might defend.
- A 24 hour montage of political advertisements. Not the humorous ones our presidential candidates ran, I’m speaking native advertisements that the native highschool soccer coach operating for native appellate decide in your neighborhood watch that run previous 10pm. Telling you that he’ll guarantee that new bench outdoors the 38 yr previous highschool constructing will get constructed, and you’ll depend on it.
This elite checklist will proceed to develop over time because the Blues proceed to search out new methods to indicate me that taking 2.5 hours of my evenings to observe them can be higher spent having fun with a bubble bathtub with my air fryer, but it surely ought to get us all via the following few weeks till Thomas comes again.
