Rumor is that there will be an announcement today/tonight that St. Louis gets a Winter Classic next year, at Busch Stadium, against Chicago. The Blues play Chicago tonight...
That will be INSANE!!! And I will pay whatever I have to in order to be there!!!
I'd love to go, but tickets will be insanely high, plus I vowed last spring to not spend a cent on the Blues again until they show they can win in the playoffs a little bit (at least a freaking round). To that end, this is the first season since the early 00s that I have not gone to a single game.
And honestly, I haven't watched nearly as much this year as I did last year, for example. I've joked that last year really crushed any hockey spirit for the Blues I had left, but I am afraid it might be true. I watched the last 10 minutes of regulation and OT last night, and when Chicago scored to tie it up, I was like, "Of course." And when the Blues won the shootout, I felt nothing.
