I swear the Blues just played the Vancouver Canucks. Actually, I swore a lot in that game (see what I did there ... that's why I get the big bucks). Anyway ... let's get to some linkage.

Blues news

Blues vs. Vancouver. Previews anyone?
It was good to see Patrik Berglund get back on the score sheet.
St. Louis Blues: Underdogs.
Some of the Blues already have playoff beards. I haven't shaved since the Flames win -- it's not pretty.
If non-puck head Bernie Miklasz can see The Kid Line working, maybe the Blues should keep rolling it out.
JR chat today.
As all of you know, the Blues will be playing on the road a lot. Turns out women's basketball is to blame.

Better know thy enemy

The Canucks travel a lot, but apparently do it in style. The photo illustration on this article alone is worth a click. (Tip o' the hat to LuvHockey)
Last time out, Vancouver won 5-2.
This is why you don't talk about contracts.

Hockey news

What the fuck. The Blues take one day off and drop back in the standings? Sitting in 11th, 2 out of 8th and 3 out 7th.
From the comments ... a great playoff site. (DanGNR, who is dropping more dimes than David Perron).
Counting on the Islanders and Avs to help out last night was probably wishful thinking.
Tonight's games. Calgary (over Columbus), San Jose (over Nashville), LA (over Dallas) and Phoenix (over Edmonton).
Another look at the trade deadline, three weeks later.
Ryan Miller is coming back Friday ... probably too late.
Goal celebrations.
The man who outbid himself for A-Rod might sell some of his stake in the Dallas Stars.
Another year, another season without playoffs in Atlanta. Hildymac and the 10 other fans must be bummed.

News

I got an email with a link from Mr. RFJCC with the words enjoy. And you know what, I did and it was safe for work. (That last one is photoshopped, but still funny.)
Mike Illitch's other team doesn't respect Good Friday. (Thanks Donut King)
Apparently, the economic strife has passed in Nashville.

Video

Let's have some more of this ... but without the Canucks getting to score. Brad's heart can't take it.

Site news

Come back for more fun stuff ... including the GDT.

All 6 of us are crushed.

After watching Futility on Ice all season long, I’m a bit numb to it. I’m really only going for Kovy, Little, and Bogosian. And tonight I’m going to watch someone kill Sean Avery – it’s a shame Valabik’s still hurt.

BTW, what is up with all the teams in front of the Blues playing crap teams? Isles? Avs? No fair.

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.

Pifffff...

Like I need that. Playoff Watch 2009 is driving my friends nuts. I wish the game tonight were tomorrow, though, so I could watch the Blues game. As it stands, I can get KMOX down here so I get to listen to the radio on the way home to cheer me up. :D

Ready for the games tonight

Mizzou and the Blues. Son#1 has soccer practice so I’ll be half an hour late. Hold down the fort.
Thanks for the shout out aj. Make sure you read the comment on that link from FF Bomber. Interesting.
Thanks RFJCC, loved the sporo pics. Maybe the one from yesterday with Mason & Steen should be submitted.

Give me back that filet of fish. Give me that fish. The commercial just came on.
I think being on this site makes the commercial come on. I swear I never hear it unless I’m on here.

I hated waking up this morning to hear we had ‘lost’ a point so to speak.

I guess it’s to late in the season to field trip.
It’s the only way I get to travel since husband had to take a 20% pay cut.
Trying to watch the hockey & basketball game will keep me at ‘home’ tonight I suppose.

I swear to God...

You are DEAD right about this site and that damn ad. I used to think it was clever – now I just hate it.

Don't worry...

Although it will return next year, and so will, I fear, that damn fish.

Concerning the Ryan Kesler story...

…all I can say is Paul Kelly needs to shut the fuck up. That motherfucker never says word fucking one about what goes on in Detroit. Jeezus, all Kesler is talking about is the famous “home town discount” which goes on IN EVERY DAMN SPORT. (At least it better or we can all wave Pujols goodbye.) Only (fucking) Detroit depresses the free agent market with players from other fucking teams.

Really Kelly needs to get a stick upside the head. Where is Chris Simon when you need him?

Ack I am in hell!!!!!!!!!!

and it’s almost as bad as being stuck in fuck detroit. It wouldnt’ be so bad about only having to listen to one game, but the damn NCAA decides that Duke has to play at the same time as Mizzou (or within 20 minutes). So I’m going to listen to the Blues on the World Wide Interwebs and follow that lil scoreboard that they show on the basketball. Man I wish we had better interenet here at school
