Thursday links: Wondering if hoping for another home win is just being greedy edition

After Backes fought Toews, Toews threw up twice in the penalty box.

I mentioned that to Blues enforcer Cam Janssen today and he said, "No way, did he really?"

Derek Armstrong jumped in the conversation and said: "Oh yeah, if you’re not used to it, you’ll throw up. Cam, it would be like you playing 20 minutes in a game . . . you would puke!"

"You had go there, eh?" Janssen said, laughing.

I mentioned to Boyes that if Perron ever scored 50 goals in the NHL, we’ll probably see him in a black visor wearing white skates, he replied: "That’s the thing . . . you want to score, but what’s the payoff?"

I just died laughing at these parts!

And for the skates thing, hell let him wear whatever fucking skates he wants. I mean, I wore bright blue cleats for soccer, and pink ones before those (I used to go through a pair of cleats in less than a season…cheap pieces of shit). Well for me it wasn’t the color I was looking for, the cleats just fit correctly compared to others. And they insides were made of cloth instead of leather so I didn’t get blisters. Maybe those white skates are just the most comfortable to him compared to all the others. And as a wearer of ridiculous cleats, I fully support his decision to wear white skates.

He donated a replica of the Leafs’ dressing room to a children’s hospital and bought them a private box at MLG? I love CuJo, but that really makes me respect the guy.

I also respect the fact that he can admit that playing for Detroit was a mistake.

Wild Blues preview from the link, this penalty stat really stuck out to me:
Wild Blues
528 PIM 747

Petro’s first game for his new team will be a doozy. Up against Windsor tonight.
That may be a good one to find a stream for.

….THIS as the video of the day?

Its a sad day indeed when SLGT is scooped by BOTH the RFT and Puck Daddy.

shuffles off sadly

and I started screaming when it got to the milkshake part.

I guess Lemtyugov is still technically a “Blues prospect…”

…but I doubt we ever see him over here again. Which kinda pisses me off, because I really liked the kid, and thought he had a future.

Heck, I still have hopes that someday we’ll see Konstantin Barulin over here. That guy has half-decent career numbers in Mother Russia…

B.

I want to show my boss that website that you can vote on who won each fight all around the NHL. But I cannot, for the life of me, remember it. I have it bookmarked on my computer at home, but not here at work.

Anyone wanna help me out real quick? Thanks in advance.
