Sunday Links: Successful Opening Night Edition

by Poor College Student on Oct 10, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

Embrace the recently invented Penalty Kill Dance: the next time you're at Scottrade:

Step 1. Grab "Silent Jay for Selke" poster.

Step 2: Hold up "Silent Jay for Selke" poster until penalty has been killed.

You're welcome.

Blues News:

Blues win on a night to remember! A kickass statue for Hull, an electric crowd, standout goaltending, and an OT winner to cap it off. [STLToday]
AP review is here. [STLToday]
Miklasz: Win at home, Brad Boyes scores more goals, power play doesn't blow, and a couple other things will right the ship in St. Louis [STLToday]
The statue ceremony was short, sweet, and to the point. Loved the words from Hull and others. On a completely different topic, "Fuck you, doucheweasel hoisting your teenybopper girlfriend onto your shoulders so she can see better at the expense of all the people directly behind you. The bitch doesn't deserve to see over everybody when she's asking 'Honey, who's that guy?' about the likes of Chase, JD, Al, and John Kelly. Bitches be trippin'." [Blues]

NHL News:

Ondres Pavelec is still in the hospital, but considering what could've happened to him, I imagine most everyone will be thankful to read that he's still alive. [ESPN]
What's eating Ilya? Dude thinks he's making the big bucks to throw punches now. [Puck Daddy]
Doug Weight turned back the clock, stopped playing to protect his shoulder, and got shit done for the Isles last night. [Lighthouse Hockey]
Henrik Sedin: Your new Canucks captain. How often you think Daniel's going to try and steal his twin's jersey? [TSN]
Opulence: Zdeno Chara has it after signing a 45 million dollar extension. No word on his opinion on savings the monies. [Puck Daddy]
All the rest of the scores. Kudos to NYR's Derek Stepan for a hat trick in his 1st game. [ESPN]

Other Stuff:

Irony, delicious irony. Clearly she's preparing for a season of Flyers letdowns. [CBSPhilly]
Computer glitches will never go away. Damn. [Cracked]
Honest fast food signs. [CollegeHumor]

Video:

Marcus doesn't know if he should laugh or feel sorry for this dog. I'm not sure how to feel either

That's it and that's all for me, folks. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, including but not limited to Prospect Department's weekly young'un update.

Averagejoe is back tomorrow. I hear he loves Hannibal and Fox Sports Midwest.

Yesterday was quite fortuitious

The use of automatic assault rifles of russian make were unnecessary.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Jay McClement for Selke in 2011. Justice will be served. Penalties will be killed.

I actually enjoyed the mixing up of the D-Pairs.

Having Johnson with Jackman and Brewer with Polak was nice to see. Also saw Jackman with Pietrangelo at times as well.

I thought the mix of a D-minded DMan with an O-minded DMan was very well done.

I felt like the lines could use some tinkering. I think we had players run into one another at least 3-4 times last night.

All in all, we played well and got the win. The only thing that has me worried is that the one thing everyone was nervous about before the season was the potential lack of scoring. We had chances last night but couldn’t put the puck in the net. Hopefully this was just a little rust though.

Only time will tell, but this was definitely a nice start to the season.

Its weird... half the year my blood is red... but then the other half... it's blue... hm...

per JR

Ryan Reaves is a healthy scratch today in Peoria, meaning he could be headed to STL to replace Janssen.

St. Louis Blues - "Eric Brewer Counts"

Seconded on the dumbasses with the teenager.

Thankfully, I was far enough right and far enough behind those two to: 1) have my view obstructed by her, and 2) not hear her. Fucking ridiculous. It’s a ceremony, not a fucking rock concert.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
