| Chuck Herrmann supports the Blues even after major surgery... What a fan! |
With the St. Louis Blues up 2-0 in
the first round of the playoffs, fans are showing that they truly do “bleed
blue”. They are some of the most interesting creatures to watch as they paint
their bodies, their hair, their children, anything they can get their hands on
to show the pride they have in their team. One such fanatical fan is Charles
“Chuck” Herrmann. He may not paint his body or his hair – I have a feeling his
wife would disassociate from him if he did – he has taken to YouTube to voice
his desire to see the Stanley Cup come to St. Louis .
Published in March of 2012, Chuck’s video, “We Want the Cup” brought
a smile to my face and made me wonder if St. Louis
would ever be graced with a Cup winning season. Last year’s playoffs started
with much bang, but quickly fizzled out and the Blues went home empty handed.
The season before that looked very promising until the Los Angeles Kings
splattered the hopes and dreams of the Blues all over the West Coast.
This year, the Blues are scratching their way to victories
in overtime. How long will this be able to last? The players have to be feeling
the pressure and the rigors of playing extra periods game after game. If they
can figure out how to win in regulation, then they may actually have a chance
to advance further into the realm of the playoffs. Blues fans are doing their
best to lift up their “boys” and show them that they are beloved members of the
city. The rallies that have been hosted prior to each playoff home game have
brought out a menagerie of characters that have come together to celebrate the
Blues as they lay their hearts on the ice night after night.
