Saturday Links

If you're reading this, than the torrential downpour and wind did not kill me. Well, at least it was torrential in my neck of the woods.

Onto the links:

Blues News:

Jarmo isn't the only guy getting a contract extension.

NHL News:

This gives you the idea that Canada wants a seventh team. Who knew?
No games 'til Sunday. But Mirtle has a nifty schedule for both Conference Finals and a poll here.
Second City has them a glossary to explain their nicknames and such. I shudder at the size of such a glossary for nicknames and inside jokes over here.
Anybody ever lived with a kidney stone? Anybody ever played hockey with a kidney stone? Mark Recchi has
Patrick Kane earns a little of my respect with this headline.
We've all thrown shoes and/or remotes in fits of rage after Detroit scores. Anaheim's GM does one better.

Other Stuff:

Behold the tale of "FrankenFrog" (Thanks, Cozmcphishh)
Ever wondered if you were a vampire? Me neither.
Facebook is a tool...for crime-solving.

Video:

You've all seen the videos and highlights from the conference semis. What you have not seen (or maybe you have) is a video of a sleepwalking dog.

Happy Saturday to all of you. Help us out if you've got a link at gametimelinks (at) gmail.com

If Recchi played while passing a stone he’s moves to the top of my list for toughest man on earth. I cannot imagine even getting dressed let alone skating, even with great meds.

I passed a stone a couple years ago and it was a freakin torture right out of the middle ages. At first you get cramped up on your side like bad gas. Next thing is you feel like you’re shitting a basketball, interrupted by waves of intense stabbing pain. It feels like a knife being inserted into your kidneys and then yanked up and down. The pain is so intense it drops you to your knees and makes you physically ill. I’ve only begged a doc to shoot me 2 times in my life and this was one of them.

The worst part of the whole ordeal was when I had the attack I went into the fetal position in a TGIF’s bathroom in Tampa. My buddies drug me out to a cab to take me to the hospital and the taxi driver thought I had been gut shot, I was humped up so bad. The driver didn’t want to get blood all over the back seat from what he thought was a gunshot wound so they stood there arguing with me writhing around on the freakin sidewalk. Finally my buddies convinced the driver what it was all about and I finally got my painful ride to the hospital. I was screaming and moaning so much the dude never took his eyes off me in the mirror the whole ride.

And dude played a hockey game while enduring this?

Oh, wow, that sounds like when I was trying to pass a gallstone.

I almost died at the seafood counter at the grocery store while my friend explained to the li’l non-English speaking woman was trying to understand what “2 lbs of mussels” meant. I have NEVER been in so much pain in my life – my friend said that I was literally white as a sheet and she thought that I was going to die (she cooked and ate the mussels anyway). I couldn’t move for the rest of that day, missed 3 days of work, and then wound up getting my gallbladder removed (over spring break no less – but I got the week after off, so it was all good). It was absolutely horrible. If I would have had a gun, I would have shot myself as well – and that was just gallstones. I can’t imagine kidney stones. My god.

Mark Recchi is my hero.

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.
