Dagnabbit...

makes a guy feel old when he can’t recognize most of the songs…. I remember when Led Zep and Black Sabbath were new bands!

Meh...

they’ll be in Phoenix this season; it’d be too hard to move ’em anywhere before the puck drops…

2010/2011, however… only The Shadow Knows!!!

Might as well add Portland too.

Perhaps Seattle, Vegas, Winnipeg, Milwaukee . . . just about any significant city in the US and Canada without a hockey team.

OK, now I’m pretty much being an ass. Sorry.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Portland is good...

But if Milwaukee gets an NHL team, Chicago will want one, too… ;-D

Hockey News

That list you posted to about the Blues finishing 9th in the Hockey News’ list was just awkward.

The Blues #9

Why: With a strong youth core, veteran presence and an introductory playoff appearance, the Blues are on the verge of something special. However, it is common for teams built around kids to take at least a little step back after a season of exceeding expectations. The Blues will be a challenge, but the Western Conference is a beast.

Columbus #8

Why: The Blue Jackets made their first playoff appearance last season and will need to battle just as hard to return to the post-season dance this year. Their developing youngsters (Derick Brassard, Jakub Voracek, Nikita Filatov) hope to make that task easier, but ultimately, they’ll need Steve Mason and Rick Nash to lead the way again.

Aren’t they pretty much both saying that they’ll have to rely on their youngsters, and then saying that it’s a bad thing for the Blues because youngsters usually fall off after “exceeding expectations” and then turning around and saying that the Jackets having youngsters will “make that task easier”? How double-sided is that argument?

Poorly done.

Sorry, that should have gone on yesterday’s thread.

LOL. Your point still stands! Why they’re bothering to do a ranking list now, I don’t know. … Oh yeah, they have to make one because they print their yearbook so ridiculously early.
