Wait, did you really expect that to be easy?
St. Louis Blues fans who thought packing 100,000 people in downtown St. Louis for some early history-making obviously can’t sing the blues. Remember you can’t force the good times down the future’s throat; they must come out of nowhere, unforeseen by the people who stay up all night looking for them.
Duping yourself is one idea to avoid the realization that things won’t be easy. I went on SB Nation radio about 20 minutes before Sunday’s game, giving a ballsy prediction of a 4-3 Blues win, anchored by a Vladimir Tarasenko overtime winner, which would set off an explosion of joy on Market Street.
