Around SBN: The Ducks sign Koivu to a one-year deal


Jay McKee aka Mr. Glass

So, Fragile Jay McKee, after an extended stint off the injury list has once again found himself out of commssion. This time it's a fractured finger.

I wonder at what time in his life Fragile Jay realized he was destined to get hurt at the slightest touch. I'm surprised that by this point he hasn't given up hockey and orchestrated a series of arena disasters intent on finding the "Invincible" hockey player. The Bruce Willis to his Samuel L. Jackson. The Iron Man Cal Ripken Jr. of the rink.

Seriously, McKee, while revered in Buffalo, has been nothing short of a bubble boy here in St. Louis. It makes you wonder if the league will ever authorize players to use hampster balls.

I can't remember ever seeing a player miss as much time as Fragile Jay.  Let's hope T.J. Oshie doesn't follow in his crutch steps. Let's hope Paul "I'm yet to live up to my contract" Kariya gets back soon. Let's hope Andy "I was starting to show flashes again of my Stanley Cup play in Anaheim" MacDonald also returns soon. And let's hope EJ decides golf is a waste of time and takes up checkers.

That being said, McKee was seeing less ice time. One has to wonder if that was part of the reason for the Blues' recent string of losses. The guy is solid defensively and can block a ton of shots. The good news is Yonus Yunland could make his debut with the Blues this season on Thursday. If nothing else, it could give us an idea of whether to put any hope on Junland being a regular contributor on Blues bluelines in seasons to come.

At the very least, we now know to pack Jay in bubble wrap before team flights.

Wishing hockey would come back so we'd have something better to watch than our dog lick his own dick.
