Much better Hockey Gods, much better. Two Game 7s, both down to the wire, with one of them ending in overtime. Don't think you could ask for more -- except for the Wings the lose. Let's get to the Friday links, shall we.
Blues news
- JR comes through with a chat I forgot to tell you about. [StlToday]
Hockey news
- The Wings beat the Ducks in Game 7. [Recap]
- I will not be watching a single game of the Western Conference Finals. Detroit and Chicago? This is like the Winter Classic ... but worse. I might tune into the Eastern finals. [From the Rink Schedule]
- I don't understand how a Game 7 win can be given the same treatment as a regular season win. [Winging it in Motown]
- In the other Game 7, the Bruins got punched in the gut by Scott Walker. And yes, I'm the 1,000th writer to make a Walker/punch reference. [Recap]
- Now the fine folks at the Stanley Cup of Chowder really know how to talk about a loss. [Stanley Cup of Chowder]
- I love the use of the verb Cardiac in a hedline. Well done. [Canes Country]
- No offer sheets for Steve Bernier this offseason. [ESPN]
- More Coyotes news ... Jim Basillie continues to be on the assault. Dude really wants a team. Can't we give him a shitty team? [TSN]
- In case you forgot, the Canadian media loves Sidney Crosby and hates Russians. [TSN/ The Canadian Press]
Other stuff
- Carnie, you are really popular around her. People are sending me links that you would enjoy. Anyway, Hildymac passes along a story that Carnie will hate, and RFJCC will love. [The Onion]
- So if you are of a certain age, you probably know people who say FML all the damn time. Well ... MLIA. [MyLifeIsAverage]
- I would like a TV of this size, only if you could also make it six smaller tv's. [Slashgear]
- After a workout, don't reach for a Gatorade, grab some cereal. [WBAL-TV]
- Man promises a close view of river. He succeeds. [Daily Express]
Video
This video is perfect in about a million ways. Happy Friday.
Another week down. Poor College Student will take you through the weekends. Hit him up at gametimelinks (at) gmail.com. Have a good weekend.

Nicely done, Hildymac
A bullshit math assignment like that could tear someone a whole slew of new assholes.
Did you see the other link on The Onion about how the U.S. trails other nations in devleopment of child soldiers. Not in St. Louis we don’t! Unfortunately, ours will be tied up in the upcoming war with Detroit.
I feel unclean. It's a shame so deep it can only be erased by the ravages of time and the constant abuse of hard liquor. I rooted on the Red Wings and I am now less of a man for it.

LOL.
I missed that, but somehow or another I could see Detroit and StL building up armies in a (sorry for the ref, but we’re watching Hotel Rwanda) Hutu/Tutsi style battle.
Or maybe it’ll be more along the lines of Germany/Russia in WWI. We’ll have guns, they’ll have sticks.
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.

I think Carnie would like
The current storyline in the comic strip “Non Sequitor.”
Here, I will try to post one:

Every once in a while . . .
Non Sequitur pulls out a doozy. But usually it’s in their random “one-tiles” that slay.
Ones like this one, which is on the wall next to my desk at work:

Pure awesome.
That should be on someone else’s wall at work, too. Actually, that needs to be on everyone’s cubicle at the Dept. of the Treasury.

As a resident of the fine state of Illinois, I have just one thing to say at this point...
LET’S GO HAWKS!!!
FAN TA DETROIT.

As a fellow Illinois resident . . .
I have to say that I’m disappointed, Brian.
Let’s Go Eastern Conference Winner!

Let's Go Pens!
I hate the fact that people make fun of me for cheering for them like I’m some Crosby worshiper or something. He’s got skills, but I don’t like the whining. The whining is why I always thought Lemieux >>> Gretzky. Ergo, Malkin >>>Crosby.
Or at least until the last round – what happened to him? Was he hurt like Ovie was or something? I really can’t believe so many Caps played through injury. I hope that doesn’t hinder them for next year.

I would NEVER make fun of you, Hildy...
…no matter who you root for.
Sidney Crosby is a whiny little beeyotch, though…

Aww, thank you. :D
I concur with you on Sid. I took great pleasure in Valabik’s cross check to his head the 1st game after Crosby’s li’l “proctologist” stunt. I wish Boris just would have killed him flat out, but hey, I take what I can get.

Great story Hildy. I wonder if the teacher has read it and what will happen to the students. If they think they had a lot of homework now….

Joe, there's an "a" in "headline"
Just thought I’d throw that out there…

there’s a few errors actually….
there’s two E’s in “here”, and “succeeds”, and 1000 should have a “th” on the end of it
but who’s keeping track anyway? ;)

geez tough crowd today
seriously though, thanks for catching those for me. i write these late at night after a night of reading copy and sometimes my brain just gives up and i read things the way i intend them to sound, instead of how they are written. my bad. seriously though, thanks for proofing.
hedlines, however, was intentional, but i didn’t realize i was doing it — if that makes sense. i had an old journalism prof who wrote “headlines” hedlines or heds. basically its old journo slang that has stuck with me, just like i call paragraphs “grafs.” ive been doing it for so long i dont realize im doing it against the norm.

That math article was funny as hell. My math teacher actually assigned homework on the first day as well.
And I also have a math quiz on my birthday FML
but on a happier note, if I were to end up failing trigonometry then I would still graduate with a 3.8 GPA. Which is epic. (I only need a 3.6 to keep my scholarship).
