I'd like to thank the Red Wings for shitting the bed last night. Get fucked you guys. Now that that's out of the way, let's get ready for the biggest game of the Dave Checketts Era. I can't wait for this game to start. Scottrade better be rocking tonight. Let's get to some links.

Blues news

• Louie the Bear vs. the Green Yellow Mosquito. Here are a couple of previews.
• Paul Kariya wants to come back but the Blues might not want him back? Yeah I'd rather see a grinder play than a guy who is bona-fide playmaker. I'm starting to like you Andy Murray, don't fuck this up by sitting Kariya if he's healthy. 
• The JR chat wrap has some gems. My fave: Who is the kid line? Welcome back, bandwagon fans.
• Jeff Gordon makes a good point: The fun has just begun.
  
• B.J. Crombeen was just the latest pplayer to step up.
• In case you have been living under a rock or are a newborn, the Blues are nearing in on a playoff berth.

Hockey news

• Standings. The Blues are tied with Nashville (fuck you Wings) but still ahead thanks to a game in hand.
