Maybe it’s just me, but whenever I see D’Agostini I think of Gigi D’Agostino.

Poor David.

He’s got a serious case of Doan Face going on there.

Oh my God.

That is why I love Barret Jackman. That look right there. I want to be able to give people looks like that when I grow up.

Is it a smirk or what?

Look of disgust?

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

Sir Jaxx is not impressed...

…but I gotta say, Parros sticking his tongue out at Jackman is funny as hell.

Both are just awesome.

I could watch that clip of the Pietrangelo pass to D'Agostini over and over about 100 times...

…and never get tired of it.

That was awesome, although it would have been a two-line pass (and Dagger would have been a useless cherry-picker) back in the day when I was coming up…

I just found out that of the four games played between the Preds/Blues this year, none of them are going to be on FS-TN when I’m in Tennessee. So this game, and the next are not televised. The third is over Christmas, when I’m in St. Louis, and the last will be in April, when I’ll be too drunk to remember. Fuck this.

Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.
