Every time they play the Blackhawks.
Crystal clear FinMatt. That's great you got to go to St. Louis and had a great time! Hopefully you found some good 'ol American BBQ and some other unique things to do that St. Louis is known for.Greetings from Finland!
It was early 90's when I started to follow NHL. Same time we collected a hockey cards and I got cards like Hull, Shanahan, Janney, Turgeon etc... Somehow I got many cards of Hull and then I just decided that Blues will be my team!
All these years I had a dream to visit in St Louis. Three years ago I did my pilgrimage ( I don't know can I use that word) and visited in St Louis with my fiance. We were 8 days in St Louis and explored the city.
We saw two Blues game, explored restaurants, bars and just had fun. People were nice and our vacation was brilliant!
I know, there is many mistakes but I watched sports when I should have study englishHope you still understand...

Tervetuloa foorumiimme! Now we non- Finns will be able to see if ALL Finns are as wild as Ranksu, or if the air in Lappland causes strange thinking.Greetings from Finland!

A CHL Braves fan, eh? I remember when they had Phil Esposito on their team. I even remember The Flyers, St. Louis' AHL team. Were you around when they operated in The Lou?When asked, I say I am a LIFE-LONG BLUES Fan . . . pause for three seconds . . . then explain that Life-Long refers to the life of the Blues franchise and not my life. I attended games at the Arena during the 1967-1968 regular season and playoffs and have been Bleeding Blue ever since. (Heck, I even went to games at the Area when the home team wore red, black and white with a now hated Indian Chief emblem!!!)
Kiitos!Tervetuloa foorumiimme! Now we non- Finns will be able to see if ALL Finns are as wild as Ranksu, or if the air in Lappland causes strange thinking.![]()
Kiitos!
People in Lappland is crazy. And the weather too and I think that's the main reason of heavy drinking. And heavy drinking causes strange thinking not the air
Last time I was in Lappland there was so cold that my tongue got stuck to a frozen spoon. And I can tell you it's a hard to be a believable soldier when teaspoon hanging in your mouth![]()
I remember going to games when I was five. Those were the President Trophy days. I remember watching Turgeon and Demitra, Pronger and MacInnis. I remember Reed Low, Mellanby, etc. But I really became a big Blues fan after the first lockout (weird timing, I know) because I enjoyed following the prospects. Hence how I ended up hereThink back to your first memory of watching the Blues and realizing you loved hockey and the Blues were your team.
I know, a lot of us have baby pictures in Blues gear our parents put on us but when did you consciously realize you were a Blues fan?
Became a fan of the team 27 years ago, didn't start to be the kind of fan that watches every game until 2011-2012. Still don't understand what people are talking about when they go into topics like "edge work" "hockey sense" "creativity" "if someone is a bad skater" (how does someone who played ice hockey their whole life, & made it to the starting lineup of the NHL a bad skater?) Yes I'm a very slow learner![]()
As a 9 year old, I was at the Arena for a Stanley Cup Final game when the Bruins destroyed the Blues in 1970.
Bad game, but I loved just being there. There weren't many kids at the games back then. My dad was good to me.
They were rough and not only on the ice. The crowd would dress in nice clothes but I remember hearing some of the most vulgar language from fans, both men and women, directed toward players and refs.My Dad took me to some games as well during that time frame. I was very lucky. To be honest, some of those games were a little rough around the edges for kids.![]()
Indeed!They were rough and not only on the ice. The crowd would dress in nice clothes but I remember hearing some of the most vulgar language from fans, both men and women, directed toward players and refs.
I was 21 years old when The Blues started, and I had loved playing and watching the game already for 16 years when The Blues started playing.Think back to your first memory of watching the Blues and realizing you loved hockey and the Blues were your team.
