Saturdays in St Louis

Quick thoughts going into tonight's excursions:

Thursday Recap:
I went to the game, and of course why wouldn't I be sitting next to a bunch of Wisc. Badger fans, who drove down... Who does that?? Also I had the privilege of sitting in front of the drunkest student (It was student night, where college students showed their id and paid $20 for a $119 ticket) and he wouldn't stop yelling.. It wasn't like he was yelling cool stuff like at the goalie, he was yelling stupid stuff like a guy 2 rows in front of me was wearing a cowboy hat, and he was mocking him... Finally he was escorted out. I attempted to write down cheers for him to shout out instead of acting like an idiot, but it was too late.. Security had enough...

Well after the 1st period I was shocked to see Coach Osh was in town, and so we reminisced about the good times we had at UND games. We then went back to his seats where I met up with Berglunds sister and Father who were in a great mood having just flown 19 hours to get to the hockey game that night. I don't know about you, but I'm going to take up Swedish... It's a pretty sweet language..

Notice the tongue out, its because I'm drinking the white
wine, after all that beer.. wine not a good choice!


The game went well for the Blues 6-1 Stomping of the Stars. After the game we went down to congratulate the boys on a job well done. The 1st player in the family room was Manny, and then it was the bday man Paul Kariya, whom no one knew or remembered it was his bday, so scrambling for a moment, after he was done talking with his wife, I went over with a bottle of wine I picked up off the table said happy bday, and he smiled and laughed I told him I hadn't planned on meeting him tonight, so I just grabbed the bottle from over there... After that the rest of the room went over and wished him a happy bday.. Everyone was in a great mood since they won so we decided we better celebrate the win by heading out to the bar!!

Well needless to say I'm not 21 anymore and I'm now just feeling a lot better! BUT JUST IN TIME FOR TONIGHT!! As its going to get even rowdier tonight!!

Well I feel kind of bad, because there was a big race going this weekend at the dirt track, and I was torn between the 2, but one can't pass up hockey, and the partying that goes on with it!

So here's my prediction for tonight:
Oshie vs Toews might get into their 1st NHL Fights tonight. As close as they are I don't think either one of them wants to fight anyone else. I think the Blues will win in a good battle 4-3. Osh (1st on his career), Tkachuck, Boyes, Brewer or McD get goals for Blues, and Hawks will be powered by Toews (1st on the year), Kane, Havlat.. Also Skille will get thrown in the box, and Blues capitalize (that one just for fun)

Also for tonight:
1.) Hopefully the Sioux Hockey team rebounds and gets a win tonight.. They got thrashed pretty good last night by Mankato. They have plenty of talent its all about chemistry, and Hak will find it, even if it takes half the season..

2.) Steve Arpin starts on the pole for the big mod race as does Will Vaught in the Super Lates. I'd enjoy seeing them both win, as I won't be there tonight, my guess is they will win.

3.) Poker night has returned for Sunday nights, so now I'll be able to watch football, Napcar and gamble as if I wasn't happy with the status quo! This is my happy dance....

4.) Still debating on going to the Cowboys vs Rams game..... Still debating... Well we'll see how I fare at the bars tonight... And if my energy level is up to it... it might just happen..
