We are failing at mayhem

While we’ve made a bit of a difference it isn’t happening.
Maybe on game night we can get a bunch to vote.

The Norm Sanders link is broken although I circumnavigated and read it.

We're losing Ground!

Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.

I don't think Brewer is that smart...

We’re at: 32.09%.
We’re gonna need 4000 unanswered votes, at least to turn the tide.

I don't know why

but every time I see a JD reference to ‘the hockey gods’, a little tear of joy forms in my eye.

I was just about to suggest that the Blues have a Logan’s Run party – featuring the elimination of everyone on the roster aged 30 or older. At first, it looked promising. Kariya, Brewer, Tkachuk, Weaver, Sydor… I’d miss Andy McDonald, I guess, but sometimes you have to milk the goose to break a few omelets. Or something. I’m bad at metaphors.

So I was happily writing my post, imagining all of the development time the kids would get in this brave new hockey world, when I got to the goalies.

Chris Mason, age 33.
Ty Conklin, age 33.

Crap.

Either this Logan’s Run party is going to require a goalie exemption, or the netminders are going to need to get out of the city. Hey, wait… ~~Edward G. Robinson~~ Peter Ustinov was bearded, wasn’t he? FEAR THE ANCIENT BEARD!! Yeah, this is gonna work after all. Good luck, Conks, you’re on your own.

Actually, TMNT would've been SO much more badass as a Tarantino flick.

Then again if that were the case, I wouldn’t have been allowed to see it. Fuck it, I would’ve seen it anyway.

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

TOR OTT is a barnburner on right now. 4 fights already and end to end rushes. Battle for the Province baby.

Someone from the Thrash boards...

… posted a link on the official Canes boards too, so we have that going for us too. I just voted again and it’s at 63.68 to 36.32. Color me impressed.

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.
