NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I can get over the fact that the Blues lost 8-1 last night, ending their 7 game winning streak and giving them two whole losses this season. I can. What I can't get over is the fact that even though they were killing the Blues, the Blue Jackets (dumb name, but whatever) continued to pick at them...picking fights and, well, playing like assholes. And now we've lost our best player. Yep, TJ Oshie broke his ankle last night because of some asshat. Now, Osh hasn't scored as many goals as we'd like, but he's leading the team in points and his mere presence on the ice is a team lifter. This is not good news. The Blues already have a ridiculous amount of injuries thanks to concussions and whatnot. To lose your best player, probably for months, is a huge momentum killer. I hope the team can regroup and remember that they are actually good, and play well enough until they start getting some of their guys back. To put this in perspective, this would be like the Cardinals losing Albert Pujols for most of the season. It's that big.
