That sucked. To the reporter who asked Roberto Luongo about giving up soft goals and then prompting him to get pissed off ... go eat a bag of dicks. Just gotta put this behind us and get ready for the Calgary Flames.

Blues news

Blues vs. Flames tonight at 8 p.m. It looks like Yahoo! is streaming the game, so check there first all you out-of-towners.
The Post-Dispatch says the Blues lost the game, and maybe Keith Tkachuk to a wrist injury. Here's the AP writeup.
From the Vancouver side ... this was the team's 11th-straight home win.
Got a question for T.J. Oshie that doesn't sound like Chris Farley from "The Chris Farley Show"? Submit them here. My question: What's the Bermuda Cup?
Andy Murray's daughter is a hockey player ... wait AM coached high school hockey? How did he punish the younger players when all the players are young. Side note: Sidney Crosby went to Shattuck.
Brad Boyes: overlooked goal scorer ... maybe thats because he's so inconsistant?
At least SOMEONE associated with the Blues will be making the playoffs.

Hockey news

If the playoffs started today ... the Blues are in 12th, four points out.
Last night's games did little to help out the 'Note. What about tonight? Games of significance: New Jersey (over Minnesota), Atlanta (over Detroit (just because)), Chicago (over Edmonton), St. Louis (over Calgary).
Alex Ovechkin scored goal No. 50 and pissed off some Canadians for celebrating with a "hot stick."
Martin Brodeur got beat in court yesterday. I have a feeling we will be seeing him on the autograph circuit after he retires ... or playing far into his 40s.
ESPN (sometimes they talk hockey) presents the second-half standings.
Wondering what up with Alexander Mogilny? No? Ok then don't read this.
From the porn-peddler in the comments: Panthers fan (with a missing finger according to the comments) flashes the camera. (NSFWish)

News

Oh for fucks sake.
The Batman logo changes a lot (video with sound).
What. The. Fuck.
I love Homer J Simpson.

Video

As Dooks requested ... Jordin Tootoo got destroyed last night by Brad Staubitz. I haven't seen a fight this one sided since Ralphie beat up Scott Farkus in "A Christmas Story."

BONUS VIDEO

Because I love you guys ... look for a YOUNG Brett Hull and Al MacInnis.

Please, please come back today. Part three of the AWESOME ownership story, the Hockey Prof. AND a pre-GTD to get your Flames hate on. It's gonna be a good day.

I do what I can.

Anyway, I have an odd feeling that tonight’s Thrashers/Dead Things game will be more like that ep. of South Park where the mite team has to play them and they get KILLED than an actual NHL game, but it should be fun. I’ll try to piss as many people off as possible.

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.

Banning oranges because they could be bad for your teeth....

….is this where the nanny state becomes fascist?

Ah well…they don’t need fresh fruit. After all there is no jump shot in netball.

But don't oranges prevent SCURVY?

You know, that thing you get when you don’t have enough Vit. C and your TEETH FALL OUT?

Why are people stupid?

I was bummed until I saw JT get that beatdown — thanks for the pick-me-up!

Four points out? If you told me in December that March 21st would arrive and we’d be 4 points out with 11 to play, I’d have a party. Allright! Party at my place tonight!

Let’s see the boys give Paneuf a reason to have that sourpuss face tonight.
Remember, adversity breeds strength.

I actually WAS wondering wtf happened to Mogilny.
last thing I recall is he got injured and Loucifer (being Loucifer) putting him on the long-term injury list so his contract wouldn’t count against the cap, and then sending him down to Lowell the next season for the same reason. they were “this” close to have to forfeit the season before Satan pulled that off at the last minute.

after going 14-6-5 (33 points) in January & February, Blues are 4-4-1 (9 points) thus far in March.
still only 4 points out of the playoffs, it’s amazing

And really, this is the most unfavorable part of our schedule, our remaining game against Detroit aside.

I finally looked at OV's "hot stick" celebration....

…and while it is certainly kinda stupid, Canadians need to elarn how to chill out. Sure, it isn’t anything Toe Blake would have done, but the last time I checked Toe Blake was still dead. (He died last century you know.)

Note to OV: Don’t take celebration suggestions from a goalie.

by Rich of GASL on Mar 20, 2009 2:33 PM CDT reply actions

agreed. just relax and laugh with him. nothing about the celebration was lengthy or over the top really. that particular celebration is the equivilent of Tiger Williams’ ‘riding the stick’

by Dooks on Mar 20, 2009 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions

but Tiger was a canuck

its ok when he does. but how dare a russian play canada’s game and do well. AND look like he’s having fun.

Ove is having fun at his job. lay off.

by averagejoe on Mar 20, 2009 6:39 PM CDT up reply actions

And furthermore, there have been plenty of goofy celebrations over the years in hockey (superman dives and selanne’s hockey gun celebration come to mind)… big f-ing deal. Noone on the other team seemed offended enough to skate over and knock him down during his celebration.
