“He’s a good player, and he’s a personality,” Davidson said. “Maybe he can get our guys to relax a little bit.”

Blues coach Andy Murray cautioned, however, that Armstrong alone won’t help the Blues change their situation.

rewrite’d:

Davidson said Armstrong may help the Blues relax a little bit.

Murray cautioned that under his system, no one fucking relaxes or they’re healthy scratched or taken down to sub-6-minutes of ice time. Ask Berglund about relaxing.

I heard a Creed song at the bowling alleys last night.

I about wanted to stab my fucking eardrums out . . . that video was epic.

Also, fixed it:

I think my favorite part in the Armstrong article...

… was the blurb at the bottom where it says that it was hinted that EJ would re-join the line-up tonight. Wow, I wonder why. Brewer/Sydor not cutting it?

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.

as joe and i were just conversating about ...

it seems like murray’s been grasping for straws for awhile now.
oh, i’ll healthy scratch my best defenseman because he’s been playing poorly (and yet still at a level above most of my other players not named Alex Steen) over a recent stretch.
