Wednesday links: Not even going to try and be bilingual edition

Whenever the NHL does stuff in Montreal, it's always Frenchified. I speak un poco español, but no French. So the links will be in my normal half-asleep English. Enjoy the typos.

Blues news

Blues vs Canadies tonight. Game starts at 6:30 p.m. St. Louis time. Perfect, I'll be in a gym in Northeast Missouri watching basketball at that time. My life rules. [CBS Sports]
David Perron is coming home tonight. Expect Frenchie to show off and dominate. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
A deep in depth look — the kind of reporting usually reserved for the Cardinals — on the Blues. An interesting read. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
Davis Payne talks. [Blues]
The Canadiens and Blues have more in common than you might think. [Habs Eyes on the Prize]

Petr Sykora, who used to be pretty good was put on waivers by the WIld. He's only 33, and while this may shock my good friend NatetheGreat, I don't think he's lost it. Should the Blues be interested? [ESPN]
Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby are good. [TSN]

Video

Hat tip to dvdvrhs for today's video. He sent along a link to Jon Lajoie's videos — who I immensely enjoy. And, he's French-Canadian so it works for today. Enjoy. Don't watch at work, unless you have headphones.

Blues vs. Canadiens tonight. Be here for the Game Day Thread. It will be a treat full of jokes about poutine and the French. I can't wait.

Love this quote about last nights game after losing 8-2

"The only thing we did, was the bus was on time to get to this game," Lightning coach Rick Tocchet said. "The bus driver was the best thing we had."

No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.

Man, mortifying.

The Lightning are terrible – the only reason that they’re as close to a playoff spot as they are is because they have 10 pity points.

That, and the East kind of sucks.

I'd be content with them.

Marty the Wee Person’d be good too. It’s funny how a team with that much offensive potential blows so very, very much.

You don’t think it has anything to do with the revolving door that is their D, do you? Naahhhhh.

In the words of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach John McKay after a loss...

Q: Coach, what did you think of your offense’s execution?

A: I’m in favor of it.

Re: Sykora... I say, "what the fuck, run amuck..."

If the Blues can get him on the cheap, and he doesn’t take a roster spot away from one of the prospects in the long term, why not?

That was my thoughts exactly

Swap him out with Winchester.
I know Winchester has been hitting and playing a little better but we have guys that can hit on the team. Try someone new

If we can get the Pittsburgh version of Petr back...

… that’d be fine (as long as it’s not late-term Pittsburgh Petr). I really think his issues this year have been injury related, have they not?

Yeah. I wouldnt' mind seeing Sykora here on the cheap.

I can’t imagine he’s got a long time left in the NHL at this point anyway. He seems to be playing well enough this year. I think swapping him for winchester is a great idea actually.

PS did anyone else read the article on yahoo with Pavel Datsyuk? I’ve never seen a reporters tongue so far up a guys butthole as what happened there. My lord, come on dude. at least PRETEND to be an impartial reporter.
