Mr. Particle has found video of Eric Brewer working out. It's incredible. Always, he says the voiceover guy sounds like Patrik Berglund. I kinda agree.

McClement is scoreless in his last 17 games since scoring three goals Oct. 30 against Atlanta

Nooooooooooo!

No more compatriot who also works for the man. :( Who’ll be taking over for you?

I think I’m kind of the permanent Thrashers person at SBNATL – no one’ll even help let alone take over. That, and I like getting paid.

Can't they just reprint articles from the GT paper edition?

Or do they have some sort of silly “family-friendly” requirement to make everything non-aggressive and palatable for Cards fans?

… mostly b/c the city hubs get picked up by Google News as a news source, not as a blog. You also have to do gameday stories and game previews and whatnot, as well as occasional short updates on stories applicable to your team.

No occer-related incidents, huh?

BradFlick55 mentioned at the end of the thread last night that the Blues parked their cars in the spot the Jackets usually have their pre-game kick-around.

Also…4th place! 4th place! 4th place!

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
