Lots of stuff today. Get your clicking fingers ready.

Blues news

Someone has gotta step up and score goals this season and the Blues are hoping it's the young guys. Of course, the whole team is young guys. [BND]
The Rivermen roster is shaping up. [PJ Star]
Carlo Colaiacovo is practicing, but Andy McDonald and Erik Johnson are not. [Morning Skate]
Alex Pietrangelo and Tyson Strachan are on the team. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
I've said it before and I'll say it again: College football can eat a bag of dicks. If I don't get the Blues season opener and am forced to watched Mizzou pound Colorado in a meaningless game, I'm gonna be pissed. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
From Icion: Alex Pietrangelo is a good prospect. [Hockey's Future]

Hockey news

John Tavares is the looks, Kyle Okposo is the brains and newcomer Michael Grabner is the wildcard, bitches. [Lighthouse Hockey]
The Predators traded for Shane O'Brien. The fans are indifferent. [On the Forecheck]
The Panthers have lost a top prospect, for now at least. [Litter Box Cats]
A look at the cap and what teams need to do by 2 p.m. today. [From the Rink]
TSN says Sidney Crosby is No. 1.[TSN]
A lot of players were waived on Tuesday. [TSN]
Stephane Robidas is my favorite non-Blue in the NHL for the sole reason that on the last day of the season two years ago, he went ape shit and got a game misconduct. His penalty minutes helped me beat Nate and win my fantasy league. Apparently, he's underrated. [ESPN]
From CCR and J-Mill: The NHL has a "new" rule that I think we can all get behind. [The Onion]

Other links

From Icion: 50 Cent and Queen mashed up in an awesome fashion. [Q-Unit's Greatest Hits]

I'll second this.

“If I don’t get the Blues season opener and am forced to watched Mizzou pound Colorado in a meaningless game, I’m gonna be pissed.”

I’ve already decided that my cable is getting cancelled if Mediacom screws me around on Blues hockey again this season.

Breaking News:

He was wearing the "C" on Saturday.

Can you believe that shit?

Of course, Morrow is still their ACTUAL captain, but still . . . just kinda odd to see Robidas wearing it. I thought it was some kind of silly joke.

To Robidas’ credit, he WAS flipping some pre-game pucks to some fans on Saturday, which was nice of him. That said, a few of his attempts either barely cleared the glass or even fell short. What a world-class athlete there! LOL

Bit eating. Cupboard appraising. Milktoast.
Stop using these in articles plzkthx.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

You can barely recognize chaser

He looks really f’n good..he needs to share the goods for us really fat guys like me.

I'm thinkin' that...

…Chaser just got into good shape through working his ass off, just so he would look good for that hottie he was skating with. I know that if I had the go on TV with that, I’d work like a dog to make myself look good for her…

Damn, son.

Tony Twist said on OTR that Chaser had aged the worst out of all of the former NHL players he knew.

That certainly cannot be the case anymore.

a man of letters?

who knew?

I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth ... while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
