Monday links: Going head first into the week like Andy McDonald into the boards edition

Another weekend down, another week begins. I hope you all had a good Halloween. My "Joe with a two-week beard" costume went over great. I'm thinking "Joe with a 'stache" for next year.

Strachan and Statsny

I heard both ended their first game back with the Rivermen injured, as well as Derek Armstrong who left the game early after a “vicious hit away from the play”. So apparently if anymore forwards get hurt, we have a high probability to see Eller or Porter

Off Topic

But why would there be a sudden jump in support for the Maple Leafs in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming? Today I’ve seen two jerseys and 3 people wearing hats…for the first time this entire semester. They don’t even play tonight. Oh well, I rocked the Blues draft hat.

Weirdly

I bumped into a guy in the Dr Who Exhibition at Lands End, Cornwall UK who was wearing a Maple Leafs jersey. It was just before the playoffs last year and I was wearing my Blues jersey – he wished the Blues luck and wanted us to kick Vancouvers ass.

I rarely see another jersey’d person so it was quite an event.

One of the guys who was wearing the jersey had made a comment to me earlier this semester about me wearing my Blues jersey and yah wished our team good luck. I think most of them are pretty good sports about it. It was just weird to see so many of them out today, for no apparent reason.
