Sa after that KHL bit

we have something other than a meteor to root for when CHI and DET meet up. . . both teams lost. . . and they are an embarrassment to their league. . . here is to hoping. . .

Sadly, the NHL's draconian "third man in" rule...

…pretty much negates the chances of that kind of saw-off between NHL teams. Somewhere, Bobby Gassoff is sighing…

Here’s a link to the fight:

Great interview with Cam.

The fact that he’s so polite, soft spoken, and intelligent might throw people off, but that’s really pretty common with the rough and tumble enforcers – Laraque’s a teddy bear too, and Parros seems to be a pretty good guy.

The fact that Cam is a cat person, though, that just makes me like him that much more. Loved how he admitted he cried when he heard he was traded to StL, and that it makes him all misty eyed when he knows people are standing up in their seats hoping he beats the hell out of someone. Janssen said he never wants to leave the Blues, and frankly, I hoep he never does – having a hometown kid with that much heart and love of the team and the area is priceless.

Honestly, that was the best written hockey article I’ve read by a St. Louis paper in eons – I hope the Globe keeps up the good work.
