Game Time's Morning Links: Part of a balanced breakfast

Blues News:

Ian Cole: Should he stay or should he go?
Jake Allen's working hard. That's good. Way better than hearing about him not working hard.
JD, Coach Murray offer their thoughts on the Blues moves.

NHL News:

I kinda panicked when I read "PCS" in this post. For a second I thought I somehow started helping out the Bolts blog.
Washington signs Brendan Morrison. Read all about it.
Game Time does One Act Theatres, Caption Contests, phenomenal Game Threads, and lots of other stuff. But I've yet to see the bosses do a Mock Arbitration. Wait...when was the last time the Blues went to arbitration anyway?
Moen faucets himself a contract with the Habs. That joke didn't even make sense.
LeBrun discusses Tanguay and Heatley over at ESPN.
Cycle like the Sedins takes a glance at the cap situation next year for Montreal through Washington.
Shootout and OT penalty changes are coming for the AHL. Puck Father analyzes.
Mirtle explains how the Hawks can cheat. OK, it's apparently not cheating, it just looks like it by the headline.

Other Stuff:

Sperm: "No Fat Chicks" (Thanks, Andy)
You stay classy, Google Earth.
Iowa asks the tough questions: Should we make a big ass statue of Michael Jackson out of butter?
This man is now half the man he once was.
NAME!...THAT!...TOILET!

Video:

This video is 5 days old so some things, like the statuses (statusi?) of Versteeg and Barker, have changed. Either way, it's some good analysis of the Free Agent Frenzy thus far (June 6th) from hockey funny man/insightful analyst SteveDangle.

GTPD has some good analysis on deck for today. I'll be back tomorrow. Send your best finds to gametimelinks@gmail.com

Since not many people who have been there are commenting on it

I will say that Ian Cole might have been the single most impressive player at the camp this year. I wouldn’t be stunned at all if he’s locked himself up the 6th defensive spot on the NHL team if he turns pro. His overall skills seemingly aren’t very far of from Johnson and Pietrengelo, maybe even at their level. If he wants to leave, he’s going to be good from day one.

Honestly, the number of defensemen that have been very impressive is really high (Pietrengelo had a really great camp imo, Berglund and Warsofsky, despite their small size, have looked like top shelf prospects, Erik Johnson has basically looked like a 1st overall pick should look to me, and Brett Ponich has looked a lot better then I expected him to look this young) Overall the camp has been very positive for a lot of players, and I can’t think of anyone it’s been outright negative for.

When was the last time the Blues

went to arbitration, you ask yourself? That would have been the 07-08 season with good ‘ol’ Lee Stempniak
