Welcome one and all to the roller coaster that will be your 2009-10 St. Louis Blues!

Blues News:

Blues ~~lay an egg~~ leave a flaming bag of dog shit out on home ice. 4-0 bad guys.
I haven't seen anything concerning the extent of the McDonald injury. However, something should turn up on Jeremy Rutherford's Twitter account real soon.

NHL News:

Montreal blows a 2 goal lead in the 3rd to the Leafs, but uses the power of distracting candy cane uniforms to pull out a shootout victory.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped a lot of goddamn pucks on Saturday. 50 saves in beating the Sens.
More resignings in the NHLPA. Also some insight into who'll run things in the short term, according to Pierre LeBrun.
More Puck Daddy: Dustin Penner may not be the most hated man in Edmonton anymore!
Scores from Saturday
Sunday's action. Only 4 games.

Other Stuff:

It was a slow news day in Tennessee. So much so that they reported on it being a slow news day.
Some strange but true for you: Russian Road Roulette. And to think I could get PAID for running all those red lights
Some of the best Jack-O-Lanterns you'll ever see.

Video:

Liut! entertains us for Sunday with Ninja Tryouts.

And by popular demand of Chris Gift, it's the "Cribs" episode with the Teej.

Regarding that Jackson, TN link . . .

I was the sports editor of the school newspaper my senior year of college. We sent out one edition every two weeks per semester, so as you could imagine it was embarrassing that for one edition (I want to say it was late January) I had enough of a writer’s block episode to damn near leave my bi-weekly rant column blank. Until a good friend of mine (and a fellow staff writer on the “news” side) said “Don’t show your weaknesses, dude”. So I made up something. I think it was about NES sports games or some shit.

Anyway, I guess they don’t have the same checks and balances at the Jackson Sun. Sad sacks of shit, they are.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Pavelec has shut me up.

The way he played pre-season was shaky and off, but how well he’s played the past several games (that goal from the circles notwithstanding) and the fact that he’s not the rebound machine that we saw here a month ago… I think that I might be close to losing the butt of my hockey frustrations. sniff Fair thee well, Kari. There are bars and hot chicks in Toronto, or Detroit, or where ever you wind up. And I heard that their McD’s are better too. Between Pavs’ play and how the Blues have been recently, I’m concerned about the game on the 8th. :(

BTW, those Habs fans completely got what they deserved last night when the Leafs scored on then to shut them up. I just wish that they would have won. Their fans are some of the most obnoxious I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting (aside from Buffalo). I would have thought last season could have brought them back down to earth.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

Paul Kariya

Is fucking useless…that pussy needs to get scoring or get the fuck out of the way. He is now my most hated Blue.

You are a cock,

Don't get me wrong...

I think PK is done as a Blue but I actually saw him battling for space in front of the net in the Panthers game. First time I’ve seen him push back like that in a long time.

Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

maybe we should injure half our roster like last year and we might do better

"Smaoineamh ar roinnt daoine an todhchaí agus trína chéile. Fheiceáil siad roicéid agus tús a chur fothain buama. Fheiceáil siad TJ Oshie, tús a chur le fothain fallout."

I think we're getting a pretty good jump on that.
