For the uninitiated – I’m a hockey fan and adore my beloved
St. Louis Blues! If you haven’t checked NHL hockey out…do it, damnit!
Confession – I haven’t blogged about the NHL Playoffs because
I’m superstitious as hell and the Blues were winning without my mentioning them
online so…well, shit – never fuck with a winning streak!
Now that we’ve got that out of the way…
What to say, what to say, WHAT TO SAY?
The St. Louis Blues’ fantastic run came to an end Sunday
when they were swept by those damn Kings.
Yes, I’m bitter…but I think the series with the Kings was a
good learning experience for the Note.
Nothing exposes what a team needs to work on line playing a team that relentlessly
exploits all of your weaknesses.
Sob.
Anyhoo, the 2011-2012 season was still fantabulous.
The Blues stumbled out of the gate…couldn’t pull themselves
together for the longest time…and then Coach Hitchcock came aboard and
everything changed for the better.
I watched with pride as my team started playing hockey the right way and
winning because of it. They were a
team to be feared and respected…and nothing made this fan more proud.
Alas, all good things must come to an end.
I’d hoped our run would end with the Blues hoisting Lord
Stanley’s Cup…but that isn’t to be.
So, I’ll mourn the end of our season even as I enjoy the
remaining post-season match-ups.
Pause…sip coffee…continue.
Shit, now I’ve got to choose a team still in the hunt to
cheer for.
Lawd…

Yeah, my team got eliminated a round ago.
I may fall back on my default teams since they're still in it (!) but I'm not holding my breath.
so galling! my Sharks kicked LA's butt twice in a row to get into the playoffs!
