That's it for me. My mind is FRIED. Good night and I'll see you all in the morning. gametimelinks(at)gmail.com

This article is awesome!
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.

Wow.
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.

What a career. Remember him “battling” with Jablonski for the backup spot, then steadily claiming the #1 from Riendeau, and being offered with Brind’Amour as the non-Stevens compensation package for Stevens (god I wish I could erase that summer from my memory). What a ride. CuJo was quality through it all.

Looking at the
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.

I'll kindly direct you to the fanshots
Our very own Tomorrows Blues posted this almost 12 hours before your comment. Get your facts straight, friend.

True dat, but...
I heard it at The Asylum (why I continue to go there, I’ll never know) and read it at the RFT before I posted it.

My bad
I scanned the fanposts and fanshots columns on the main page before posting, but I didn’t do a detailed search. Lazy research on my 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…

QUICK!
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.

there was another one that Spec uses… has some ‘fruit’ in it’s name. I could, obviously, be totally mistaken though :)

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

For Fried Chicken, remember the hyphen...
… it’s hockey-fights.com. Dude didn’t grab the hyphenless version, so someone else set up a competing site.
