Last night I had the liberty to attend a free St. Louis Blues game. I have attended probably eight or so games this year. Usually, we have excellent lower level seats for every game, but the last two games we have sat in the upper deck. If you have ever been to a hockey game at Scottrade, you would know that theres really not a bad seat anywhere in the arena.
The St. Louis Blues are coming off another trade that sent a St. Louis city favorite to Buffalo for a draft pick. A few of the stars that we have gotten rid of are Johnson, McClement, and Boyes. A new player we got from a trade with Colorado is Stewart. In his first six games he had six goals. He has pretty much been our only playmaker lately. We also have Ben Bishop who is our huge goalie. He can be shaky at times but he has been doing really well lately and the only reason were getting scored on is because our defense is extremely lacking.
Last night we played the Calgary Flames who ended our goal scoring streak the last game we played. This mostly has to do with their goalie Kiprusoff. Calgary also is a pretty strong defensive team. Unfortunately, we were once again unable to score last night. The game was quite pitiful. There was a lot of yelling and cussing aimed towards noone in particular. The only time the crowd was exciteful after being down a few goals was when Janssen got into a fight that electrified the crowd. After four goals were scored I noticed a lot of people leaving. After five goals were scored I noticed even more leaving. After six goals I was ready to go home as well. We lost 6-0 and our playoff chances are getting slimmer.
I just went to their last home game for my birthday. We won!!! 2 to zip I believe, they played the Nashville Predators. It was the second year in a row for my birthday that I have seen them play them, one away, one home. I had 10 friends go, including myself. I did take my little brother and his friend also. I figured Brennan had never been, so why not? We all had a blast, like always. My favorite quote from the night was from my best friend, Sarah. She said, “You know, the only thing that I know about hockey is from watching the Mighty Ducks.” I about died laughing, she is awesome though. The only downfall to the whole night, was the traffic and we had a little issue with the tickets, but besides all of that, it was once again a successful birthday.
