I was listening to Chris Kerber talk during the Blues post game show, and the word unacceptable came up quite a lot. Andy Murray has been saying it, the players have been saying it, the broadcasters and journalists have been saying it...This word means nothing. Kerbs was discussing, for example, when parents use this word, there is some sort of consequence that follows. What the hell then?! Stop saying, "this is unacceptable." It's obviously acceptable to play one out of three periods because I'm not seeing much of a change.
I have gone to the last two home games and will be going to my third in a row on new years eve. I have noticed a scary trend as of late, too. Boooooooo's! The St. Louis crowd booooo'd after that terrible first period last night. Ever since the third period loss against the Oilers, the fans have found more and more things to boo about... Seriously, I can't believe that last night was the 8th sell out in a row. With the Blues home record looking worse and worse, I can't imagine 19,150 fans constantly coming out to ole Scottrade for much longer.
There were a lot of things the Blues did wrong and very few things they did right, last night. Give it up to Alex Steen though, he's playing pretty solid right now. Blind passes and failed attempts to clear the puck summed up last night's effort. The Blues go from a solid three game sweep against western Canada, to losing three in a row, including two disappointing home games. The Blues need another wake up call, I guess. To finish, I just want to say that most of these guys are young professionals; key word young. I'm going to the Blues/Vancouver on Thursday, and I hope the Blues decide to play the whole game this time. Unacceptable? Yeah, we'll see...
