Greetings, Game Timers. Weekend Dad in the house. Weekday Dad had to deal with a flat tire, a swarm of locusts, an old friend coming in from out of town, and his suit wouldn't come in from the dry cleaners. I figured I'd help the guy out.

Blues News:

Blues win and sweep Western Canadaland!
Brewer returned last night. Yeah, you've heard this one before.
There's no link here, but beating Miikka Kiprusoff is fun.

NHL News:

Mr. Hockey ends up being a "surprise" torch bearer. Somehow, I think this was a surprise that they knew about from the beginning.
What's this? Brodeur hasanother shutout record to grab before he has all of them (sort of)?!?!
I don't personally have anything invested in the Kings, but any article that rips on Roenick, Avery, AND Valeri Bure gets a nod from me.
Mirtle takes a stab at who makes Team Canada. He also has the low-down on who really did make Team Belarus.
He also knows when every nation's Olympic hockey team will be announced. Russia's gonna be scary good.
Lots of scores from Wednesday.
And now that I look at the recaps, Glen Metropolit, yes, THE Glen Metropolit, had 2 PP goals for Montreal's Wednesday win over Carolina (that explains it).
Schedule for Thursday.

Other Stuff:

Sure, it's a TSN columnist, but it's about building a backyard rink, so I'm putting it here.
6 ways Santa has been abused by modern culture. Or "used appropriately," if you're into that.
You think your mall's Santa is creepy?I raise you these potential child-abusers.
Tweeting in Klingon.

Video:

Gallagher has us covered on the video. Behold, a combo "A Christmas Story" video set to our favorite theme from "Office Space"

"Brad Winchester playing on a line with Perron and Berglund is like the fat kid who you invite to play one day because you didn't have enough skaters, yet you don't have the heart to tell them to leave the next few times you play. Damn you Andy Murray." -Author Unknown

2:39, indeed

I cranked out this set of links from the computer at my Mom’s house. When I went to schedule the usual 6AM publish, I saw their computer time was way off. Rather than risk it publishing late, I figured I’d send it out a little early.

Merry Christmas to all

No beer and no TV make Homer...something something.
