We know what's at stake tonight, folks. A win and a Nashville loss gets the Blues into the playoff picture. Ho. Lee. Shit.

Onto the links:

Blues News:

Big time hugetastic important game against the Jackets tonight. Here's a preview.
The Blues webpage figured out that Oshie is young and popular. No shit? Great detective work!
Rutherford comes through with a great summation of Thursday's game, a day of rest, and a rough estimate of TJ Oshie's prom invitations.
With all those events going on at the Scottrade that aren't hockey, you'd wonder just how the surface is changed. Mr. Particle has your back.
Dan Hinote: More than just a hockey player with a hot wife?
Jeff Gordon tells us that beating Columbus, since we have 3 games left against them, would be a good idea. Jabba the Hitchcock also discusses how "this is all about hunger."
Julian Talbot scores twice to give the Rivermen a victory.

NHL News:

Joey MacDonald, former Wings netminder, earns his first career shutout at the expense of his former team. And as a New York Islander, too. Fuck Detroit.
Ray Emery makes the news in a bad way: Getting his car impounded
RFJCC, is this your work? Kudos, if it is. Bail check's on the way, if needed.
Scores from around the league. Thank God the Ducks/Oilers game didn't go to OT.
Standings. We Are One. Point. Out.
Tonight's games. Blues will take help from: LA (Over Nashville), Calgary (Over the Wilds), and Florida (Over Dallas).

If one of my students turned in that stick-country WWII thing...

I would give them an A in every class of mine that they took through eternity, just based on the USSR invading Finland illustration alone.

I loved the note on the Toivonen status at the end of the Hinote article. Glad to see he’s still just barely average.

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.

That WWII cartoon was amazing. Love the neutrals (“the other part of Ireland”) hanging out at the end.

Anybody got a spare ticket?

I figure I can get a ticket off of Ticketmaster or see if any Game Time folks have a spare that I could buy.

I’ll wait around and see if anybody posts anything.

Fuck Detroit

Just seeing people saying they have tickets for playoff game 1 brings a tear to my eye.

I’ll be a blubbering mess if we clinch a playoff spot and I’m watching that game. Probably one to rival when the Cards won the Series.

I gotta work tonight during the game, so I’ll be missing it. :( but I’ll have the radio tuned to the game in the back room. :D

the last home game was gonna be a no-go for me, but a friend said a friend of his said he might give us his tickets, but it seems it’ll be a last minute decision whether that happens.

fuck Columbus! fuck Nashville! both need to lose tonight

“Late in the third period the Wranglers’ mascot, Duke, silenced the cow-bell toting Alaska fans with a popcorn shower. The Aces’ fans apparently do not have a great sense of humor as they retaliated by throwing beer on the Duke.” Haha, I like their style.

I can’t decide if that quote or the “Hungry,hungry Hitchcock” quote is my favorite from today’s articles.

Well, they are our farm team, aren't they?

During the on ice mayhem

the LV mascot took it upon himself to add to the madness by dumping popcorn on the Aces wives and girlfriends. A few of the Aces also wanted a piece of the Duke. I’m not surprised by the reaction. Gotta love minor league hockey.

I'm a happy seal
