Wednesday Links

Two points on Tuesday? Awesome. As long as the Blues keep winning, I'll keep smiling. Nine games left and the team has a REALISTIC shot (despite what the pundits believe) at a playoff spot: It's a good time to be a Blues fan. Let's get to some links.

Blues news

The Blues won. Here's the PD recap and one from the Associated Press.
More Paul Kariya news and a quote from Keith Tkachuk about a lucky break ... that wasn't a break.
If the rest of the season plays out like I think it should, get used to more stuff like this -- although hopefully from guys who don't look like they hang outside of schools in vans offering up free candy.
More Blues news from ESPN: Chris Mason is the man.
Anthony Peluso is going to have a bright future.
Is this a December Blues game? Yan Stastny, Cam Paddock and Steve Regier each scored and Manny Legace got the win for Peoria last night.

Hockey news

Here are the standings. The Blues are in 10th, 1 point out of eighth and two of seventh. Wow.
Last night's games didn't hurt the Blues -- mostly because they won. Here's tonights action.
Games of significance: Islanders (over Minnesota), Avs (over Ducks), and San Jose (over Chicago if only because the Sharks guys root for us, so we'll root for them. Until the playoffs).
Speaking of the Islanders -- Doug Weight wants to stay put.
I'm beginning to hate the charity OT point after reading that the Preds have gotten three in a row now.
The Phoenix Coyotes are having a promotion where they are offering tickets with the purchase of a handle (1.75 litres ... why yes I did use to work in a liquor store).
Martin Gerber will be taking some time off. Curtis Joseph will be the No. 1 for a bit.
I'm now tired of the Alex Ovechkin/Don Cherry "feud."
Blogger meets journo. Both write about encounter. Awesome stuff.
I'm glad I'm not an Avs fan, fantaking is no fun.

News

From DanGNR comes the HOLY FUCKING SHIT story of the day.
I know a lot of you are from Illinois ... did you corrupt this mayor?
Don't worry about locking your cars doors anymore.
RFJCC ... I have a new mission for you. Get the Game Time Logo on google earth.

Video

I have no background for this vid. It starts off with DJ King teaching Tyson Strachan how to fight and then pans to show TJ Oshie and Patrick Berglund scrapping. No one stops them and they just stop and act like nothing happened. Berg looks like he might be a good fighter.

Site news

Please do come back later today for a double dose of fun. Boss man Brad will have a column AND a You Write the Comedy: Edition -- those threads are always good. If you have any good links, send 'em to gametimelinks (at) gmail.com

Nice video ...

maybe rookie camp is like spring break for 19 year old coeds on South Beach. Anything goes.

Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

I didn't know they practiced fighting.

I can’t imagine Kariya coming back for the playoffs. It would be nice for him to earn some of those millions thrown in his bank acct though.

Red Wings

I hate to say it, but they did us a massive favor by coming back against the Oilers last night…

Nice of them.

Now they owe us about 1000 more favors for the rest of their existence. Fucking assbags.

FUCK DETROIT!

Here's the plan

1. Find a sign-type place that does billboards or banners. Have them put the drooling hockeyd dude on a big banner, like 20×20 minimum.

2. We put it somewhere that will be photographed. Top of a building…

4. Profit.

Paint it on your roof

I thought about this as soon as I saw my house on Google Earth a few years back. I have a 26’ x20’ glassed in patio (California Room they call it here) that has a nice flat roof. We painted it white when we re-roofed it in anticipation of a logo going up there.

Anybody got a 20’ × 18’ stencil of the GT logo handy?

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.
