In Shy-Town

1) Sorry we didn't get to post about our trip to see the Blues in St. Louis last night. We all had a great time, and want to thank all the folks who turned out to greet us, and had a few adult beverages with us prior to the game.
2) The game itself wasn't exactly a barn burner with San Jose looking pretty sound/impressive in shutting down the Blues. They did have some good chances, especially early, but Toskala was up to the challenge.
3) The crowd size was a huge disappointment. We were in this building a few years ago and it was jam packed and very loud. If there were 6,000(announced 9,000)it was a lot. Kinda depressing to see the demise of this franchise. hopefully JD will turn it around soon
4) Speaking of depressing, we're in Chicago to see one of the original 6 teams play the Stars. From talking with some of our readers who are 'hawks fans, many or most are disillusioned with their once proud team. They do have some promising young players, but as of yet the corner has not been turned. Injuries have again ravaged the team. It appears another non-playoff year is in the offing. This will be our first trip to the new building. The old Chicago Stadium could never be duplicated and we don't expect the newer digs will. We also expect another small crowd like we had last night.
5) We are VERY excited to be shuffling off to Buffalo after tonight to see the high flying Sabres against their cross state rival rangers on Friday. The weather forecast could make this interesting as a snow storm may be brewing in the great lakes this weekend. Oh no, not another snow storm!! LOL
6) Nice job by FAUXRUMORS 2 on their story outlining the NHL's decrease in scoring and what can/will be done. It seems to have caused a nice discussion among some of our readers. Talk with all of you tomorrow!

Should post some pix of the gang at these arenas! Must be quite the photo album you have going!

1) Pictures, Hmmm. If memory serves, you or one of your other blog manifestations suggested that a month or so ago
2) Our response is the same: Great idea! FAUXRUMORS tells us that they plan to post some of the more memorable pics that they have taken over their trek across the NHL

right so yet another stupid stereotypical comment from a fictional poster...geezus, lets stop playing fantasy and stick with the hockey...

1) We agree, but won't erase such silly posts. We just skim right over em.
2) As for hockey, we hope to hear from FAUXRUMORS later today. We here the weather in Chicago is deteriorating so they are doing thier best to get out before things get worse.
3) They saw a surprisingly good game last night. Ofcourse the first game of a new coach's(Savard) reign usually has a team playing at their best. Bigger question is: Can they keep it up?
