Happy St. Patrick's Day. Blues vs. Oilers tonight and guess what, it has playoff implications. Let's get to the links.

Blues news

Here is a preview from the Post-Dispatch. Please note the puck drops at 9 p.m. central time.
Two/thirds of the old Kid Line talk about the New Kid Line and their roles as vets.
Jeff Gordon, who call himself "Hockey Guy", says the Blues would be doomed without Chris Mason. Andy McDonald weeps quietly.
The Oil has been struggling lately, so the team is switching up the lines.
The Blues are close to the playoffs. I think the lede was inspired by a trip to this Web site.
Holy shit, how many names can you butcher in a press release.
Some good news about the Rivermen, including some reinforcements coming to help.

Hockey news

Standings: Blues 10th, two points out.
Tonight's action.
Games to help the Blues: Colorado (over Minnesota) and Vancouver (over Dallas).
Two reasons to pull for the Devils tonight: Martin Broduer can break Patrick Roy's record and it's against the Blackhwaks.
This might be the most awkward headline ever.
Ryan Miller is slowly making a comeback. Take your time buddy, my fantasy team is settled into last place. Ass.
Wait wait wait ... you can overwork a goalie?
The St. Louis Rodney Dangerfields get dismissed as a playoff contender.
Answer Man look way: stats.

Other news

I have some new ideas for tats.
Some of those tattoos belong here.
This is why I stick to writing, and not talking about sports.
The Rocky Mountain News recently closed up shop. Some of the staffers are still committed to bringing the news.

Video

This video has it all. Fighting, blood, Mike Keenan being a douche, mullets, Blackhawks being dicks and Harold Snepts sweet, sweet stache. Oh and it happened on St. Patty's Day in 1991. Ladies and gentleman, the St. Patrick's Day Masacre.

I thought that it was supposed to be on the NHL Network...

… I vaguely remember hearing that they’ll be stalking Marty until he breaks the record.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

I stil think the headline from the 1983 South Carolina v. Navy football game is best...

A 31-7 victory garnered the headline….

“Cocks Rise Up, Blow Out Seamen”

(Maybe this is true…maybe it isn’t. I choose to believe in it. Just like Santa Claus.)

That was some blue line names in the video

Kimble-now THAT was a mullet. Gino-that guy had the thickest legs of anyone I’ve seen. Brindamour-one UGLY dude. Snepst-he and MacLean were fighting for the best mustache. Chaser didn’t get to do much in this fight.
Featherstone went 2 rounds with a break between. It was nice to see him come back for Peluso.
Loved the Brown/Presely bromance going on behind the net.
I love the picture of all the gloves/sticks on the ice at the end. That’s classic brawl pictures.

Brind'Amour just keeps getting uglier with age.

He wouldn’t be bad save for the schnozz… Maybe after he retires he’ll get it fixed? Huh?

A classic yet unexplored side story, that.

Man, they could do a four-hour documentary on that game, with all its subplots. You know it’s great when the TV director keeps calling for the wide shot because they’ve no idea which fight (or bromance) to focus on.

A day without a Hawk beatdown

is like a day without sunshine.

It’s always a grinner to see some Hawk getting his azz kicked. I think I’d rather watch that then fornicate,,,,,,, almost.

Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.
