Beamer - Our next interview come from the GM who created SCD.... Wood - GM of the IRL Stanley Cup Champ St.Louis Blues. Welcome Wood. Question 1. How do you see your Blues doing in SCD this year?
Wood - Fairly well I would have to say especially with the new recent additions.
Beamer - Very descriptive... I think Andrew Gameface should be soliciting some PR lessons to you.
question 2. Who's your choices for finalists in both SCD and in IRL NHL?
Wood - Slapshot it's going to be interesting I think there's going to be quite a few surprises, it's hard to nail down anyone specifically. For NHL I'd have to say I could see it almost being the same as last year with maybe a few surprises. I know I'm not listing specific. But I'm a list of blues for sure since I'm a homer.
Beamer - Well, I do relate to being a home... It's Calgary this, Calgary that ...I do think STL has a legitimate IRL shot again if Binnington is not a flash in the pan. Like that Faulk deal too. Question 3. What the F are the Blues doing bringing those horrendous 90s era jerseys back as their alternates? Do you like them? If so..why? If not, what jerseys should be used instead? I mean those jerseys remind me of when Gretzky played for them and all but a little piece of me died when the team brought those back from the dead. Please tell me you hate them.
Wood - It's not that I hate them I don't love them either it brings us back to a time where the blues wer among the best teams in the NHL but just could never get past one team in particular. It feels to me like they're trying to reinvent the old 90s team and give them something else back besides the cup. If we could only bring a scoring touch to the team like we had back then the blues would be set solid. I love the fog feel I see people bad-mouthing in all the time but they're not really looking at the stats of it all. Yes Bokk is a pea soup will hurt in the future to lose. But at the same time there is no guarantee that he will paying out can only hope and pray that he pans out. Where is Faulk is a proven all Star defenseman and bolsters our defensive line in the future tremendously I love Edmondson but he was aging and we gained twice that with Faulk now.
Beamer - There we go...that's a nice long answer
I see those jerseys and I also think of Brian Noonan, Craig MacTavish, and Iron Mike Keenan. Question 4. You don't strike me as being a bath type guy but how many days have you ever gone without showering?
Wood - LOL! At most a few days....Even that's too long lol.
Beamer - Yah...a day tops is plenty long IMO. Final question. How many times does it take for you to listen to a song that you love before you actually hate it instead. Eg. Laura Branigan and her song Gloria.
Wood - Honestly it depends on the song and its meaning to me I don't generally hate music even if it's overplayed. It's generally the meaning of the song that I get tired of when I turn it off.
Beamer - Ahhh gotta...At least Gloria will be burned into you head as a feel good song about IRL St.Louis last season. Good chat Wood. Best of luck this season.
