Saturday Links: "Adjusting the Saturday Drinking Routine" Edition

by Poor College Student on Dec 5, 2009 6:00 AM CST

Normally, Saturday nights are reserved for drinking and Blues hockey. I'll have to adjust the clocks to get in the right frame of mind.

Blues News:

The comparisons to the MLK miracle have begun. I'll give you 3 guesses as to the content of the first comment.
Nothing like hockey at 3PM on a Saturday. Blues vs. Kings ~~tonight~~ today.
Here's an AP preview. The spacing is craptacular.

NHL News:

Big news from Friday: John Stevens gets the honor of being the first coach to get the axe. Peter Laviolette, Canes' Stanley Cup bench boss in '06 gets the job of coaching Richards, Pronger, and co.
Puck Daddy has his take on the firing. There are a couple of stories up on Broad Street Hockey, too.
If you've got an iPhone, you can try out this NHLive app, according to some guy named George Uno. Let us know if it's any good if you decide to make the purchase.
Canadiens celebrate their 100th birthday with a whooping of the Bruins. Habs Eyes on the Prize remembers the honorees in the pre-game ceremony.
Puck Daddy's Russian liasion interviews Nikita Filatov. Dear God, don't let this ever be Berglund.
Boston hosts the Toronto ~~Kessels~~ Maple Leafs tonight. I imagine the Bruins will have a gift basket waiting for their former forward.
You might have seen TSN's 100 reasons to love the Canadiens. And in case you missed it, here's Stanley Cup of Chowder's 85-point rebuttal.
Scores from Friday.
Saturday's Schedule.

Other Stuff:

Christmas Gift Ideas: This one's perfect for the geographically-challenged "drunk on the go"
Ever wonder how I see things?
Here's the perfect frame for that picture of Kane/Franzen/that bitchy roommate you have.
Twilight saga satire and LOLcats.

Video:

Brad (not Brad Lee), one of our fans from the southern part of the country, passes along a video appropriate enough after Houston receives a record-setting early snowfall. The $64,000 question here is: Did he hang on to his crappy Dobbs Ice Scraper Giveaway from the 90s?

Now You're A Man

If running up a hill with a beer in hand isn't manly, I don't know what is.

Come on back for the Game Day Thread. And let's build on some momentum, eh?

Let's hope the Blues

adjust their clocks, or that the Kings don’t.
I’ll catch y’all at the very end of the game hopefully.

Thanks for the new Dec paper. Great job.

You know what I have to say regarding Brewers injury??

FUCK YOU Steve Ott

Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!

by BluesFanFromNE on Dec 5, 2009 9:24 AM CST reply actions

Really?

I’d say “Thank you, Steve Ott” to getting Brewer out of the lineup.

But that’s just me.

Chicagoan in the Lou.

Yes really.

1) Steve Ott is an asshole

2) Brewer was just starting to play better – all those upgrades to the Brewer Bot were finally taking effect

3) Steve Ott is an asshole

Done ^^

Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!

I am surprised to say this...but

I was a brewer hater… I wasn’t a guy that hated him because he wasn’t pronger or whatnot.
In fact, I hated him because he wasn’t even a decent #5 or #6 guy. He was an actual liability on the ice.
But once the robot started wearing the “C,” his play improved. He was no pronger, nor did I want/need him to be to like him, but he was playing better and I noticed it.

Now fast forward to this year. When he came back on the ice, he sucked the 1st few games. But I didn’t jump all over him like I wanted to, I new it was rust and all that. He then started to play better once again. Once again, he was no EJ, but he was much improved.

So… just sayin.

Fuck Detroit and Steve Ott is an asshole and Berpussy is well.. worse…

You can't call me a fair weather Blues fan.

Best. Flask. EVER!

That is all.

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

I was waiting for the jackass with the 2x4 to shatter his windshield.

Bummer.

/video should have been :30.

Let's go Blues!!!

NOT a criticism of you, PCS. You and A-Joe bring the links with a vigor and enthusiasm never before seen by many.

The dumbshit uploading to YouTube should have edited first.

/Friends don’t let friends post hours of redundant video on YouTube.

Let's go Blues!!!

by Milo. on Dec 5, 2009 10:39 AM CST up reply actions

No offense taken

I figured that just in case people thought the ice scraper one was redundant, I’d throw in another video COMPLETELY FREE!

Yeah, next time I’ll warn you guys when the funny is brought within the first 60 seconds

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

If you’ve got an iPhone, you can try out this NHLive app, according to some guy named George Uno. Let us know if it’s any good if you decide to make the purchase.

I looked it over. It may have some extra features that TSN’s mobile site doesn’t, but it apparently only works with a wi-fi connection. I can’t even get the fucking 3G to work right in DrinkScotch and wi-fi there takes a small business loan to purchase. Plus — $1.99? Make it $0.99 and it’s worth a try. Plus, there will be an upgrade ready in about a week. I’ll reconsider after the new version hits.

/Sorry, George Uno.

Let's go Blues!!!

Puck Daddy’s Russian liasion interviews Nikita Filatov.

Missing questions:

(1) When you were drafted into the NHL didn’t you tell everyone who would listen that you had no intent of ever playing in the KHL?

(2) How’s your mom?

Let's go Blues!!!

It's ok.

My drinking routine is already hosed, being that I turn 25 today.

I will be doing the honorary Jager Bombs for all Blues goals today. Then take the party to Nashville, and talk endless amounts of shit when the Sexual Predators lose to the Christmas Trees tonight.

Fuck and Detroit go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Only Peanut Butter and Jelly are good and Detroit is the very proof that God, Allah, and Buddha all have a sense of humor, after all. Good joke, guys.
