St. Lou, MO The *Official* St. Louis Blues 2002-2003 Season Thread

As we are about two weeks from the start of the season, I thought I'd look at a preview before the opener October 10th against the Ducks. There is, as I see it, lots of questions this season.

1)Will Chris Pronger's injury significantly hurt the Blues in the first half? This is an oppurtunity for young guys to step up, such as Van Ryn, or Jackman. Do they have the talent? Yes, but I need to see some games to judge better.

2)Will Brent Johnson take his game to the "next level"? Most experts agree that he has a LOT of talent. However, can he continue to build on his performance in the playoffs last year? I really believe that he can, given the defense around him.

3)Can this team mesh better than last years? Larry Pleau virtually did nothing over the off-season, stressing that they needed to improve from within. No question they have the talent. Tkachuk, Mellanby, Demetria, Weight, and the rest are extremely talented. Tkachuk has assured the media that this team is ready, well-meshed. I'm inclined to believe him.

I'm very excited about the Blues this season. Last season, they were expected to contend for the Cup. This year, the pressure is somewhat off, I believe that will play a big part. They will surprise people more than they think. So, come on in, and discuss the greatest team in NHL history!

 

So, in the first game of the season, the Blues lost 4-2. Great way to start the season fellas!

 

I was at the game. At least it was more exciting than last year's home opener.

 

I went to 4 games last year. They won all of them. The bad thing about last night was it was the Ducks! I mean, we should have won that.

 

I get money for babysitting when my neighbours go to the home games

 

How much to babysit me, fishi?

I know this doesn't have too much to do with the Blues, but I was Ken Wilson's (announcer) daughter's pre-school teacher. He's kinda quiet in person.

GO BLACKHAWKS!

 

Treason

 

Sorry...my husband added that. He's from Chicago.

 

Tonight, the Blues won a BIG game over the "improved" Dallas Stars, 5-3. And, while I was gone, they won over Columbus 7-1. If they keep this up, I'll grow obese on tacos.

Blues record: 3-1-1-0 7 pts.

 

*counts earnings*

 

Lemme guess: You work at Taco Bell fishi, right?

 

Doug Weight's looking like he may be worth the money...

Blues record: 4-1-1-0 9 pts.

 

I don't work at Taco Bell, but the guy who sits behind me in biology does

 

No one I know works at Taco Bell. I don't know anyone who works at a fast food place.

 

A goal from Weight, 2 from Stillman, and the overtime winner from Bougenicki, wow.

Blues record: 5-1-1-0 11 pts.

 

This game was awesome tonight. Total domination. 7-0

Blues record: 6-1-1-0 13 pts.

 

The Blues are unbelievable. Nine in a row. Goin for ten later tonight. Hopefully tacos will cost 35 cents tomorrow.

 

Tacos are 35c today

7-2, a decisive win
