Payne week, at least my shift is over. If Poor College Student wants to keep it going tomorrow, more power to him. I'm retiring from pun headlines until Davis picks up that first dub.

So is Jackman alright?

I didn’t get to see the game just the clip of jackman on the ice after getting his knee jacked. Didn’t hear if he was alright afterwards.

I saw him on the bench before the game ended, but didn’t see him skate.

Can anyone tell me if the league can review Getzy’s kneeing Jackman on its own or can it only do so in reaction to a complaint/tape sent by the Blues?

The Wings might have found a goalie for now...

… but the paranoia and pressure of living in Detroit and dodging gang fights, and trying to please all the whiny fans who are on the rag at the same time’ll crack him. He’ll crack.

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.

Oh, keggers still exist.

They’re just harder to find and harder to host, thanks to organizations like MADD. Great intentions with a too-far reach.
