Friday Links: The billion dollar Belfour special edition

Friday is here. Rejoice!

Blues news

One day later, it still is true: Ed Belfour is a Blue. Ugh. [Belleville News-Democrat]
Ed Belfour talks about joining the Blues. I didn't realize he tried to play last year. [Stltoday.com]
Jeremy Rutherford answered questions. As usual, some good nuggets of information in here. [Stltoday.com]

Hockey news

It looks like Shea Weber might have ended Andreas Lilja's career. Five months after a fight, Lilja is still having headaches. Damn. [On the Forecheck]
Sidney Crosby had a better 22nd birthday than I did. All I did was go to class and then work. [TSN]
So the NHLPA and the NHL are fighting over insurance and the Olympics. Good times. [Mlive.com]
The World Jr. rosters are in flux thanks to all the good young kids who could play in the Worlds, but may be in the NHL. [TSN]
Jiri Hudler: "I don't know rules regarding arbitration exactly." Really Jiri? Really? [Puck Daddy]

Other links

This site leaves me speechless. Some of these I want in my apartment as decoration, others ... not so much. [CRAPPY TAXIDERMY]
I hate kids. [My First Fail]
Ever wonder how Scrooge McDuck got rich? Of course you do. [Get back]

Video

Friday's might become stand up Friday's. Today: Jim Gaffigan. I saw him at school and my buddy literally peed his pants from laughter. He killed.

I was JUST getting ready to post that.

That photo right there summarizes why I was scared to death of Slip-n-Slides.

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.

What a fucking asshole. You have millions on the line yet you know don’t the exact rules? For $5.75 million dollars I’d get the CBA tattooed on my chest. Here’s another great example of these piece of shit European players coming over for the money grab. Jerk offs. People think I’m joking about my hatred of Euros but there is nothing funny at all to me about it. I want to kick that piece of shit in the face.

North Co! North Co! North Co!

Yeah, because every single European player has Hudler’s shitty attitude…

Why

Would you roll your eyes at the truth? I mean outside of P. Berglund, K. Berglund, D. Rundblad, and any other Euro’s that Jarmo has drafted for their great skill and positive attitudes?

Jim Gaffigan is fucking hilarious.

The part of his act about bacon is epic, and probably the source for Game Time Links’ obsession over bacon.

Goddamnit, when does the hockey season start?!

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

I think it just goes to show that everyone should/does love bacon.

It’s probably in the Bible somewhere that we have to.

Then it's gotta be in the New Testament.

Mary: “Well, an angel visited me last night… and now I’m pregnant…”

Joseph: “Jesus Christ!”

Mary: “Oh, you already know about it…”

Jim Gaffigan is a riot.

Count this as a vote strongly in favor of Stand-Up Fridays… I’ll see if I can link you to some Tim Wilson goodness for next week…

Trust me on this, a concussion is one of the last injuries you ever want to get. They just about fuck up every aspect of your life afterward, especially if you get a bad one.
