I would like to know why the Blues suck harder than a Dyson on a rug when it playoff time.

Why doesn't someone move the blues somewhere else so they will win the cup next season?

How is it possible a western conference team that hasn't been to the Cup finals in decades can still perpetually get screwed by eastern conference teams?

Follow up question: Is this team destined to play the Red Wings in the finals next season, and promptly get swept?

If this team makes a fair trade for a 1st line center, how many games until his season is lost to injury?
If he stays healthy, how many playoff games will he go without a point?
If he dominates the first three rounds, how many open nets will he miss in the Stanley Cup Finals?
How many Stanley Cups will David Backes win for a team we hate once his contract is up?
How many Vezinas/Conn Smythes will Jaroslav Halak win for his next team?
Do you have any pics of Steve Yzerman with his shirt off?

Hi Bill, question for you:

I've seen some of the systems there are for physical toughness through conditioning, etc. But what kind of conditioning or training are players given for mental toughness? Like, in terms of how do you teach that to a goaltender or an injured player that is rehabbing from say a concussion? I've read alot of stories on the physical aspects of training of the game through rote and such, but never on the mental aspects.

Thanks!

Should we trash the over-worn third jerseys that inevitably lead to losses?
I'll hang up and listen to the answer on the radio, thanks.
