Monday links: Hoping blowing leads is just a USA thing edition

by averagejoe on Jan 25, 2010 5:00 AM CST

It's nice to know that some things will never change. The Blues will always infuriate me and Brett Favre will always throw back-breaking interceptions that make me way too happy. Thanks for brightening my weekend, Brett. May you never change. Anyway, enough football, let's talk pucks. Links? Links.

I really love this headline. Tyson Strachan is up after Carlo Colaiacovo has been placed on the IR. [Peoria Journal Star]
Rumor of the day: Paul Kariya is on the trading block. If the Blues do find a taker for him, I'd bet its for a 3rd round or lower draft pick. No NHL-ready players. [The Fourth Period]
Alex Steen has great instinct. He just nose what to do with the puck. [Belleville News-Democrat]

Alexander Semin is not lacking confidence. [Japers' Rink]
Cam Ward is the greatest goalie in Hurricanes' history. [Canes Country]
I'm torn on this one. On one hand, Ryan Kesler isn't among my favorite players. On the other, he's trashing a Blackhawk. So confused ... [TSN]
A Detroit Red Wings fan climbs up into the the rafters. Please leave jokes in the comments. [Puck Daddy]
Marian Gaborik doesn't plan on getting into any more fights. [TSN]

Some people (mostly cracka ass crackas) have a hard time understanding rap lyrics. This site helps those people figure out what the hippity hoppers are talking about AND let's those in the know help enlighten those in the dark. [Understand Rap]

Videos

From Cross Check Raise comes a commercial feature Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malki, Sergei Gonchar and ... actors as the St. Louis Blues. Nice to see the Blues on TV ... I guess.

Ignore the French and enjoy.

That headline makes it sound like we mugged Peoria.

whump “We got the Strachan – RUN!”

Here’s a helpful hint, though, for our guys about holding a lead – PLAY SIXTY MINUTES. That is all.

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.

As a middle-aged white guy,

I thought the whole point of rap/hip-hop was to make it incomprehensible to me and my fellow “old white guys”… Funny… I understood everything Motown recorded “back in the day”; and I can still quote Parliament/Funkadelic lyrics… my lack of understanding must be a function of age, not “cracka”-dom!
