Here are some of the things rolling around in my head as we wait for the puck to drop in Vancouver…

**************************************************

-Even though people are calling St. Louis the "Cinderella Story" of the NHL, we’d rather be called the "Muts that really don’t belong here, but will probably punch you and the face and take your cake" story of the year.  Yeah, we’re gritty like that.

-Roberto Luongo’s cartoonish mug was a practical joke created by God himself.

-The Sedin Twins mother must of had a really tough time during pregnancy, considering the size of their massive domes.

-Mats Sundin rocks the bobblehead melon as well, but has a bobblehead wallet to back it up.

-Chris Mason looks like an awake version of Rip Van Winkle.  That is an epic playoff beard.

-David Perron, TJ Oshie & Patrick Berglund have less facial hair than a 12 year old girl, combined.  Of course, Mike ‘Wolfman’ Weaver completely offsets that problem.

-TJ Oshie, aka "Furnace Face", is actually on the ballot for Mayor of St. Louis.

-Cam Janssen, believe it or not, is still a St. Louis Blue.  Wait, is that name Swedish?  Weird…

-Patrick Berglund always brings TJ Oshie with him to interviews as his interpreter, and then takes pleasure out of making fun of Oshie during the interview.  Way to dig on your helper, Bergie.

-Pavol Demitra isn’t getting a whole lot of media attention, even though he’s going up against his old team.  Yep, I guess that is actually pretty boring news.

-It’s rumored that former blue Lee Stempniak will be in attendance for Game #3 in St. Louis.  Hopefully he’ll say hi to Mr. "High and Wide" Jamal Mayers for me when he gets back in Toronto.

-Bobby Lou has to be one of the worst nickname in the history of all nicknames.

-David Perron gets no love from the media, yet has quietly outscored all the youngsters on the Kid Line.  By the way, the kid is only 20.  Yes, TWENTY years old.  Wow.

-Andy Mcdonald scored a hat-trick against Luongo the last time he faced Vancouver in the playoffs, and was the leading scorer for Anaheim on their Stanley Cup run.  Watch out, Bobby Lou!

-Paul Kariya is back and running on all cylinders…….in Colorado.  We might see him at the end of the week.

-The Canucks are the favorite, and all their fans all believe they’re poised for a serious run at the Stanley Cup.  Yadda yadda yadda.

-The Blues are the underdogs, and their fans are still wondering how they’re actually still watching meaningful hockey in April.

-I like beer.  I like it a-lot.

Ok, that’s all I got for now…  GO BLUES!!!
