Random hockey post

i admit that i am an adamant hockey fan. been watching it since the colorado avalanche won the stanley cup in 2001. back then i was a fan of the avs. then came the red wings the next year to win the cup. and i was a fan of them then. oh but my stl blues come first. ive been secret fans of the others. but the blues come first over the others anytime. i was with them in the days of pierre turgeon, al mcinnis, chris pronger, and pavol demitra. i can name all the goaltenders they have used since then (sore subject amongst blues fans). mcinnis was my favorite player back then. now its erik johnson. call me a sucker for the defenseman but i just love the position. i mean they are the very last line of defense if the puck gets into their zone. anyone who is a hockey fan can appreciate that. this season looks like its going to be good, but lately we  have looked bad. once t.j. oshie went down we havent looked the same. i hope they turn it around real quick and ride some momentum into the playoffs in april and may. but who knows. its a long season.
