Sssoooo , my Blues beat the arch-rival Blackhawks and clinched the Central Division title last night . Very Kool stuff .
Here's where it gets sticky for me . I can only watch the playoffs while peeking through my fingers like I'm watching a horror movie . The Blues inevitably belly up in the playoffs . It's the annual disappointment for Blues fans . Just call it self- imposed torture . We are gluttons for punishment .
I eagerly await the 1st. round opponent . I will wait for the other shoe to drop .
I'm 52 . I have a good 20 years left . Let's just say the reality of mortality makes it a very real possibility that I may never see a Stanley Cup winner in St. Louis . If they could just do it once , for the long suffering fans . I'll get off my soapbox now . Guess I'll break out my Cardinals gear and start drinking heavily..........
