Anybody up for some young defensemen trial by fire?
Blues News:
- If ever I was going to put faith into an inexperienced set of blueliners, this Blues squad is the one. Welcome, Ian Cole. [Post-Dispatch]
- It's a Saturday night on the road. Start time is at 6PM. [Post-Dispatch]
- The nice people at the Blues website didn't have a preview up at the time I put the links together, but said they would have one up later. Click and hope, people. [Blues]
- This Jeff Gordon isn't mentioned because of the Ducks. Check out the "Around the Rinks" portion. Long live Freddy! [Post-Dispatch]
NHL News:
- The Miracle on Ice gold medal of Mark Wells has been sold for more than $300K. [Puck Daddy]
- A guide to booing. [DGB]
- My recent post was decidedly anti-Ice Girls. The hockey fan in me is even more pissed that the KHL is reaching for a fan swimsuit competition. The stereotypical male in me, however... [Puck Daddy]
- The NHL GM meetings will discuss the abomination of minimal pre-game scraps. They'll also discuss some of the experiments attempted during the R and D camp. Let's go, Hybrid Icing! [TSN]

I was just about to say that.
Way to go for the Tenacious D reference there. Awesome!
That guide booing is pretty funny too. I especially like that “if they’re a carbon based life form” stipulation.
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
I been over at FTF reading reactions to the Thornton suspension and.......
I’ve come to a conclusion…….
San Jose fans are either AS fucking stupid or fucking dumber than Detwat fans……..I mean theres some real dumbasses over there ……..No hockey knowledge whatsoever……Fucking Idiots
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Outside of the idiots who say Perron was soccer-selling, nothing jumped out at ne pointing to stupid. I don’t think the hit was suspension worthy, because if a key player on the Blues was suspended for a hit that was basically because he was taller then a dude. The misconduct call was, by bookn correct, but the suspension is unwarrented, esspecially when Tootoo got nothing.

ahem
Suspended for being taller then a dude, I’d be annoyed too. Stupid texting…

Taller players...
… need to learn to start going for the hips, not the shoulders. Thornton could have thrown a hip check, Perron would have gone flying over the top of him, and everything would have been legal.
It sucks for the big guys that the league is changing the rules in midseason; but they’ll either figure it out in a hurry, or they’ll continue to put their teams at risk.
'...the suspension is unwarrented, esspecially when Tootoo got nothing.'
Couldn’t agree more.
I’m certainly thrilled that the Blues won the game, and that they were able to take Thornton out of the equation without doing him any permanent damage…
…but Thornton got screwed, and he got screwed because NHL officiating is mind-numbingly inconsistent, and NHL discipline is even more so.

Sorry to inform ya'll...
but I won’t be here for most of the game tonite. Rec league hockey starts tonite so I finally get to get myself back out on the ice!! And unfortunately so start the 3 hour round trips to Omaha to play said rec hockey. Hubby & I play at 9:30 (he plays goalie, I skate out) and then Hubby plays at 10:45 skating out in the upper league.
That being said, I’ve already re-laced my skates (with the help of my cats), washed all the jerseys, febreezed the bag & breezers and have them hanging outside to “de-funk”, filled the H20 bottles and have them in the fridge, tracked down my game day clothes…and the last thing I have to do is re-tape my stick.
Can you tell I’m excited??
Oh and thank god for Sirius/XM so we can at least listen to the game on the way to Omaha tonite :)
LETS GO BLUES!!
Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!
Give 'em hell, Jenn...
We expect at least a quick iPhone post after your game to let us know how it went.
Stay safe, and watch out for big lugs exiting the penalty box… :)

I love Red Green
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
That's one reason I never dressed next to a goalie
Them fellas had some real funk coming out of their hockey bags.
Febreezed. LOL. I remember one time forgetting to “air” out the gear. I showed up for practice and cracked the zipper back and WHOA!. Cold clammy and it stunk like an old sailor’s tennis shoes. I cleared half the locker room that night.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
The Goggles, They Do Nothing
Febreeze just makes it worse. I tried that for a season; my gear just came out smelling like death and rancid febreeze.
Straight Lysol for the win.
I think its a right of passage as being a goalie...
and I also think its an additional form of defense…fowards can’t score if they can’t see because their eyes are watering and they can’t breathe!!! Hehehe
But yeah…the hubby’s forward gear stinks, but his goalie gear is terrible!!! I don’t know what it is buy damn!!
And just for comparison…it took about 2 hours this morning for the mild odor from my bag (that was like 5 feet away in the living room) to hit my nose and make me take it outside to the patio

my uncle's cabbage farts
couldn’t even compete with goalie pad funk. I’ve only smelled one thing in the world even close, balut. Also known as the “treat with feet” and the “eggs with legs”.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
It sounds like a waste
But honest to God, get your hands on the cheapest vodka you can find and spray your stuff down with that. I play twice a week and it does WONDERS for my gear. My brother skates derby pretty much every day and same with his gear. He’s actually the one who told me about it. I’ve wondered if the higher end stuff would do better, but that seems like alcohol abuse to me.

Good got Jenn
is there nothing closer??
Do they at least give you a gas allowance?
Hockey players wear numbers because you can't always identify the body with dental records.
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all. Laura Ingalls Wilder
Closest ice to us is 45 min away
But they don’t have a league…
So, we drive to Omaha (1.5 hours each way) to play. Nope…no gas allowance…its our choice to play and drive that far. The only thing that we get is the ability to always play together, and the hubby & our friend play together in the upper league because we car pool down to the city.
It gets old by May…but then we usually take the summer off to recover. HA
