Little mix of hockey
-John Weeks
The Truman roller hockey team is flat out good. They're 10-1 and embarrassing teams. Here's my beef - as it stands right now I'd rather watch our roller hockey game than go to a St. Louis Blues game. I've bled blue my whole life and the note has sounded off every year for me until this one.
The somber state I'm in is indescribable. Of course everyone already knows how bad the Blues are and should just count on getting the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft. With that being said, we are doing very little to improve the makeup of our team. A 34-year-old player who has played for more teams than Reggie Sanders leads the team in scoring because Keith Tkachuk's too busy nursing his knuckles back to full strength. I never see the Blues outhustle or outwork any other team on the ice.
That's right, I'm pointing my finger at Head coach Mike Kitchen. He's a worthless coach. If you ever watch a Blues game you'll notice that he rarely changes his expression on his face and never yells at his players. My bet, his mind's never in the game. There's all these trade talks including Doug Weight and possibly Tkachuk. Yeah, that's the answer. Get draft picks and count on every one of them to make an impact on the NHL. Are you kidding me? Not everyone is cut out to perform at the NHL's level. What we need is experience and a couple of young guys. If we stick with a young team and several guys who should have retired years earlier the Blues will start a new streak - consecutive years without a playoff appearance.
Look at the other cellar dwellers: Columbus, Pittsburgh, Washington, NY Islanders. They aren't sinking like the Blues. Those teams are full of so much talent that in a couple of years they'll be contending for Lord Stanley's Cup. So, I give credit to the fans who show up to games. It takes balls. You sacrifice your night to watch a disgraceful loss 90% of the time. Oh yeah, Pleau and Sauer should stop asking buyers to pay off their $60 million dollar debt. It's their fault. They need to deal with their screw ups and pay their own debt.
I think I've found the answer - I'm moving to Canada (Hockey's so much better there because the players aren't ice skating!!)
