One year ago yesterday, this little blog left its humble Word Press home and joined SB Nation. It's hard to imagine a world without the "z" button and auto-refresh comments. Happy Birth-day after to everyone.

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

The double-barrel salute mugshot . . .

should be sent to Dominik as a reminder of who roots for his (other) team. Amiriteamiriteamirite . . . ? Hee hee hee . . .

Seriously. That was an epic listing of mugshots.

And the best version of Carol Of The Bells that I’ve ever heard. SWEDISH CHEF BORK T W!

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

Alex making it is hardly a surprise

but Jake Allen making it (and most likely being the starter) is eventful news. Good luck you two!

Also, we still hae to see if McRae and Warsofsky make the US team. And Rundblad is also in the running for a spot on Team Sweed.

My friend, a goalie himself and someone who is generally very knowledgeable on all things netminder, has continually told me that he thinks Allen is the best goalie prospect we have. Hearing his name called as the starter on the NHL network the other day was a bit of a shock, still, but lends some credence to this notion of Allen being our best goalie prospect…

prospect dept

and hockeys future both have had allen above bishop for some time. hockjeysfuture has allen as the blues 6th best prospect and bishop the 13th. you’d have to ask brian about his rankings…
