Eh, it's not like these threads have an actively-managed OP. Anyone who is feeling frisky is welcome to go for it.

First NHL game ever and it was bad ****ing ass. I feel like a kid again't the first time I discovered a sport I loved.

Try a regular season game or even better, a playoff game.

Cool. You can root for the Blues and rediscover getting your heart ripped out for the first time!!

**** no it was disgusting hearing "LETS GO BLUES" chants in Kansas City. I think i'll become a Capitals fan since it's the first team i've seen play live and Ovi is a badass.

The Blues have a HUGE following in KC. Not sure why you're surprised or disgusted. Go down to the River Market any night of the week to The Blue Line. Best hockey bar in the midwest.

Hockey is the one sport where TV really doesn't do it justice - it's the best sport to watch live, by far - especially if you have good seats.

Glad you had a good time.

Heh I just despise anything St.Louis.

I've been to the Blue Line once. To watch the Royals/Jays playoff game last year they have great bar food IMO

Kc has the Blues...Stl the Chiefs. Poor bastards on both ends.

Can't really beat front row seats. Crappy game (Blues looked flat) but it was still awesome to watch them up close. Get spoiled whenever I get seats like this.

Ovi is ridiculous. Watching him in person really gives you an appreciation of his size, speed, skills, everything...he'll no doubt retire as a Top 20 of All Time player.

I get lots of grief for sporting Blues gear...

Probably creepy bandwagon Midwest Penguin fans. Weirdos.

That was a blast lastnight. Already planning a weekend trip to Chicago and STL to catch some games this winter. I am hooked now.

Blues trade a low-level prospect and a conditional pick to Edmonton for Nail Yakupov.

Being a Blues fan is every bit as bad as being a Chiefs fan. Couldn't imagine having to put up with both shit-shows.

Hope you're content with giving up your left nut. ROFL
It's cheaper for Hawks fans to drive to STL, Columbus, Detroit .etc to watch a game and stay a night in a hotel than to go to one Blackhawks home game. It's effing ridiculous, but a good trade-off for watching a winning team.
