Friday is here. Rejoice.

Blues news

Vroom vroom All-Rookie team. [Blues]
Andy Murray = a loser. At least Thursday he was. [StL Post]
Telling you shit Hildymac already did, the Blues and Tkachuk are close on a new deal. [StL Post]
I like Keith Tkachuk, but enough with the leader shit. He's being brought back because he scored on the power play. If it was all about leadership, Dan Hinote would never have to retire. [StL Post]
Brett Hull is up for the Hall of Fame. He should be a shoo-in. [National Post]

Hockey news

The list of Award winners is ... here. [ESPN]
A look back at the award show. [Puck Daddy]
Goride Howe is sick of taking about Sidney Crosby. [TSN]
Jim Balsillie blah blah Coyotes blah blah Hamilton. [ESPN]
Leave it to the NHL to take a good idea and fuck it up. [ESPN]
The Sedins are fucking delusional. [TSN]
The Kansas City Coyotes? (Thanks Andy) [The Hockey News]

Other links

From NatetheGreat, an honest commercial. [Consumerist]
This is nightmare fuel. [Hahahaha.fr]
A man was getting cornrows when he got caught. His mugshot is awesome. I went to high school with a kid who wore his hair similar to that ... he callled it a half-row. [Buzzfeed]

Video

I like the original Jurassic Park better, but this is still good.

PCS is here this weekend. I will be at a wedding. Drinking. Heavily. Enjoy. Gametimelinks (at) gmail.com

The KC Coyotes would maybe make another nice rivalry/state war

y’know, I didn’t think about it until now, but the Kansas City Coyotes (or adopted new team name) could actually finally give Columbus/Nashville their own feirce rival, a la Boston/Montreal

Pissing away money on an old fucker

We saw last season his best performance as a Blue when he was too old to keep it up the entire season.

But most importantly is this guy really the leader inside of the locker room? A man who once showed up to training camp impersonating John Kruk? A man who always concerned himself about getting the most money and not leaving his effort out on the ice. He’s tough and doesn’t back down and I hope that aspect of his game rubs off, but not the here I’ll take a dumb penalty during an important part of the game that he used to always do.

$2 million dollars and a roster spot that could have been used else where. Good bye Fat Man we welcome our new and always hard working juggernaut…all HAIL BACKES!!!

Really?

I guess that’s why “Fat Man” played in 79 of 82 games the last 3 seasons. 14 of his 25 goals came on the PP. Penalty minuets are down significantly from about 3 years ago(almost half: 126 in 2006-07, compared to 69 in 2007-08, and 61 in 2008-09). The old man doesn’t need to step up to the mic like he used too. Thank you Mr. Backes.

and let’s not forget who Backes modeled his game after, and got most of his NHL-level tutelage….yep, the ‘Fat Man’

Chris . . .

you’ve already found more detractors than contenders here.

Walt’s here. Walt’s good. Walt’s gonna help us.

Still think Backes should captain the team, personally, but Walt’s not awful.

My question with Hullie is...

… what team does he choose to be affiliated with when he goes in? His records are all here (and I think we’re the only team to have retired his number and we’ve never fired him from anything), but his Cups are with Dallas and Detroit.

Wait. I know. He goes in as a Coyote.

Question – how is Adam Oates not in there yet?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

Hull in as a Blue

I think it’s the best choice, not Dallas and DEFINITELY not Fuck Detroit.

No way Detroit.

It’ll either be Dallas or us, and frankly he spent more time with us, played better with us, and we named the street that the arena’s on after him, dammit.

All he did in Dallas was screw Buffalo out of a Cup. While important, that doesn’t warrant going in the HOF as a Dallas Star.
