Everyone at work got paid Thursday ... but me. Awesome happy time! Don't worry, didn't get fired. They just "forgot." Let's see some links.

Blues news

Like SBNation. the Blues have a draft page. Check it out for all kinds of cool stuff that can waste an afternoon. [Blues]
T.J. Oshie and David Perron are used as examples of two types of draft picks: the college-kid and the NHL-ready kid. You know things are going well when your low-first round picks are success stories and used as models. [The Hockey News]
Dave Checketts and Bill DeWitt III want St. Louis to kick ass. Since DeWitt owns the Cards, feel free to comment about them in this post. It's ok. [Bizjournals]

Hockey news

Brett Hull: Hall of Famer. Why is he working for Dallas? [Duluth News Tribune]
I hate TSN for using a pic of Hull as a Wing in this Hall-of-Fame story. [TSN]
Chris Chelios is done in Detroit. He should be done anywhere, but he wants to keep being a healthy scratch. [ESPN]
Jerry Reinsdorff, winner with the Bulls and White Sox, wants to buy the Coyotes. [ESPN]
John Tavares is the No. 1 pick ... according to TSN. [TSN]
Looks like it will by the Flyers and Bruins in the Winter Classic. [Stanley Cup of Chowder]
The staged fighting rule will never happen. [PensBurgh]

Other things

This kid is a reminder of why I don't want kids. [I am bored]

I'm worth 9 goats. Beat that. [How Many Goats?]

Video

Continuing the Jim Henson theme of the week ... NatetheGreat. sends along metal Cookie Monster. Rock out, sir.

If you've got some videos or stuff for the other links section, hook me and PCS up. gametimelinks (at) gmail.com.

I'm worth 7 goats.

Probably because of my age. Rat bastards.

And the Brett Hull news will HAVE to be one of the most anticlimactic announcements in HHOF history.

9 goats here, DK.

And I’m older than you. WTF?

I always thought I was better than averagejoe. Now, I’m apparently just average

Let's go Blues!!!

Gotta be some kinda fucked-up scoring system.

Like some kind of awful hockey league that gives you two points for a goal from beyond the blue line.

Pfft, goats.

I have a sorority sister who was vacationing in Egypt with her family, got kidnapped, sold into white slavery, and her dad had to pay 13 CAMELS (the animal, not the cig) to get her back.

Total blessing in disguise. She came with a ready made nickname.

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.

BTW, 9 goats.

Apparently my musical prowess and ability to drink a lot of alcohol gets me a few extra goats.

BTW, did anyone else get the ad at the top of the page asking for donations of goats to feed starving children?

7 Goats...Meh

10 goats.

And seeing Hull in a Wings jersey is like seeing your dad remarry a trashy stripper.

yes! new low number! 6 goats! who’s more pathetic?

and my opinion is the Islanders should draft Hedman, and Atlanta to get Tavares

Worst part of middle east visit was being offered sheep eyeballs for an appetizer. Then they tell us it’s an insult to decline the hosts’ offer. Ever try and eat when 20 eyeballs are staring at you from the table? Thank god they didn’t blink, Idda been out of there.
