The Three Dumb Things the Blues Have Done to Brett Hull and Ann

Dumb Thing #1: Take away the "C" from Brett Hull

Gave it to Wayne Gretzky who was with the Blues for a single play off run

Dumb Thing #2: Let Brett Hull go to the Dallas Stars

Need I say more?

Dumb Thing #3: Retire Hull's Jersey on a Tuesday Night

Guarantees that I won't be there. Missed Al MacInnis, told myself I won't miss #16. Boy was I wrong. I'll bet the Blues will retire #16 on a Tuesday night because they got wind that Dallas, Calgary and Detroit had something planned for Hull first. Yes, I am bitter.

I still harbor a great deal of ill will regarding how the whole thing went down with Brett Hull even though the Blues are still my team. Even though they got rid of or let guys go like Pronger, Hecht, Low, Handzus, Demitra and any other of the guys who are now All-Stars for other teams in the league. Reminds me of the Blackhawks. Remember when they had Belfour and Hasek on their roster?

Brett Hull deserves the honor no doubt about it. I wish I could be there to see it. But no. I likely won't be. I will have to watch it on televsion or something dumb like that.
