Friday Links

by averagejoe on Mar 27, 2009 6:00 AM CDT

I'm 23-years-old, but I have the face of a teenager. I get carded going to R-rated movies. Needless to say, I can't grow facial hair. However, I'm growing an ugly beard to support this team. It's the least I can do. Let's get to the links.

Blues news

The chants were the rage at Scottrade last night. Here's the AP writeup.
Great lede from the Vancouver Sun. I really think that's the big difference right now. If the Blues lose, there's no tomorrow.
In case you missed it ... Jeremey Rutherford's chat wrap.
The Blues believe. My "playoff beard" says I believe, too.
Some of the youngsters are getting valuable experience in the Frozen Four.
Single game playoff tickets go on sale Saturday. Fuck and yes.
National media-types are starting to notice the Blues. (Thanks to our "Islanders bigamist whore" (his words, not mine) Dominik)

Hockey news

If the playoff started today. Here are the standings. The Blues are 10, one point away from 7th and 8th. I'm downright giddy.
Last night's games helped a little. Here are tonight's games. Only one really stands out: Ducks vs. Oilers. I guess we want the Ducks to win? I'm not sure. Lemme know what you guys think.
Gary Bettman says the Coyotes might get a new owner, but they will be staying put.
Some NHL players are going carbon-neutral?
Evegeni Nabokov talks to Puck Daddy. Why is this important? He admits to hating the Red Wings.
Wait ... the AVS suck, but haven't started rebuilding? Things could get ugly in Denver.

News

Today's fucked up story ... seriously What. The. Fuck.
If you have Facebook, don't be a fucking moron.
If you're hauling guns and drugs don't speed. It's simple people.
Girly sports fights. Surprsingly, some hockey fights make the list.

Video

I think we might need an Oshie intervention. The man is getting personal highlight packages on YouTube.

That's it for me for the week. I'll be in Chicago for the weekend, but Poor College Student will be here to guide you through Saturday's big game. Please, come back?

That was an awesome goal by Oshie-Wan

Let’s pray for many more in the future. It’s even more amazing that he didn’t make the morning skate because he was sick and played like that.
Let’s also hope that these kids keep their heads on their young shoulders in their lives.
All this attention can lead to some bad habits and big heads. That’s where the veterans like Walt step in.

tonight's games

I think we would want the Oilers to win tonight as that would only put us one point out of seventh. If the ducks win, we’re three points back

I think you're right.

I agree. Too bad they can't both lose, haha.

I think that so far, God is actually smiling on us.

You guys were definitely the better team last night. a solid win and it left me cursing the Canucks play (which I do every other breath on most days anyway).

Now that you’ve had your moment in the sun, could you please continue your winning ways over Columbus this weekend and Chicago next week? Pay it forward friends.

Would love

for the Blues to beat Columbus and Chicago.

And TJ Oshie apologizes for making Luongo look a little like Chris Osgood last night.

I’ll take 50 Oshie goals like he did over a single Backes shorty. Ugh.

Im on board

for growing playoff beards, that might be the only thing that I can do better than TJ Oshie

You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off

How do females participate in playoff beards?

Stop shaving legs for 2 months? Yikes.

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

I think that my boyfriend’d take issue with that.

BTW, how stupid is the cop in that story? I do NOT understand people’s compulsion to post things that they KNOW will get them fired on Facebook? And do they not know about privacy settings?
