An Early Eulogy For My Beloved St. Louis Blues

Oh it is that wonderful time of year again where you can just smell the spring air and feel the wonderful breeze that it brings to clear away all the harshness that winter hath wrought. The great time when the battles of the regular season have taken their toll and the 16 playoff bound teams are starting to emerge. Oh what a wonderful time that is, if you aren’t a St. Louis Blues fan that is. To be a Blues fan you defiantly have to put up with some intense abuse. Often the Blues are called the “Cubs” of hockey. Almost there but seemingly always blowing it in the end. I myself LOVE my Blues. I would take a bullet for David “Inglorious” Backes or ward off some crazy teenage Fan girls from the T.J. Oshie… *Wink* *Wink*. But I am not blind when it comes to seeing that following this team often leads to heartache and disappointment, which again leads back to that evil comparison to the Cubs.
