Sunday Links: Christmas Hangover Edition

Either Vodka is blocking shots under the influence or the helmet farter has struck again.

Happy Return & Exchanges Day! If you're not out at the Rams game or returning that shirt that doesn't fit, you can chill here with me. I've got links to keep you company. Special shout-out to those puking up a rainbow of Christmas cookies and Budweiser this morning.

Blues News

Christmas was pretty rad, so we have to balance it out by playing a boring team tonight in the Predators. Game starts an hour earlier at 6 PM. [CBS Sports]
As gallagher pointed out yesterday, Petro was tipped by the wand of God. He's gettin' love everywhere. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] [Montreal Gazette]
Davis Payne: He's not Mike Keenan. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
Patrik Berglund scored twice in the last game, so he gets the obligatory article about him before he starts slumping again. Hopefully, unlike the rest of the players featured in these things (*cough*BradfuckingWinchester), he stays hot. TechnoViking needs to dance. [BND]

Hockey News

Specialty jerseys are no strangers to the minor leagues. The ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers rolled out the best Christmas uniform ever this past week. A great, big, bushy beard! [Icethetics]
The ice crew at Heinz Field worked through Christmas on the Winter Classic rink. Check the live webcam and a time lapse video here. [NHL.com]
Remember when Osgood couldn't get his 400th win against us? Good times. [NHL.com]
Team Canada is out for revenge as the World Junior Championships get underway in Buffalo. [TSN]

Other Stuff

Did you get the Ultimate Beer Dispenser yesterday? What? You didn't even ask for it? Have you seen this fucking thing? [Buzzfeed]
Don't lie to your kids. Santa ain't real. [CollegeHumor]
A drunken man in Winnipeg got shitfaced, hopped on his snowmobile and taunted police officers for Christmas. [CNews]

Sunday Video

Did you know that there's a new hit rap song/dance craze based off the movie Weekend at Bernie's? Yeah, me neither.

That's all for my link rat audition piece. Thanks for the opportunity, GT Staff and I hope you enjoyed my shit, everybody. See you all at the game tonight.

Thanks for the links, dude

nicely done for your first one!

I’m happy the game starts earlier tonight – I’m determined to stay up and watch regardless of this cold that’s suddenly hit – been hot, cold, sniffing and coughing up half a lung so far.

A Blues win could make my recovery so much sweeter…

Shrutebucks to whoever takes that song and writes "Move it Like Bergie"

Not too shabby – although personally I prefer when the links open a new window so I can keep GT open without having to hit back buttons, but that’s really a minor quible. (PCS and whoever wins the link rat race take note, if you will.)

On another note, I like the early start time for today, because I believe the US World Jrs team plays at 8 tonight. Although I might want to check out the Canada-Russia game this afternoon to see Jade and Taro for the first time.

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

I can go in and edit that in there, if you want.

I personally right click the links and say “open in new tab” because I don’t want to mess with a bunch of windows, so for me, it doesn’t matter if that option is on or not.

I push snow during TV time-outs. The Blues pay me in jumpsuits.

Flick? Flick who?

IMHO that wasn’t asked for, I agree, I like links to open in new windows when clicked..

Although, right clicking and opening them in a new tab or window isn’t too big of deal.
I think there is even a work around to force it without right clicking… ctrl click or something?
Anyways, EXCELLENT linkage… A- is my grade for ya.. (minus due to linkage clicking not opening a new window.)
Thanks for stepping up…

PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?

I'm hoping to find a live stream

for the Worlds. I’ll be late to the GDT, due to a family function. We’ll be at my Mother’s house watching Rams, partying and then will probably continue watching the Blues first period before scurrying home.
Should be about the time USA game starts.
I don’t have NHL network who is showing all Canada and US games I think.
Last year we had a dedicated daily GDT for all the junior games didn’t we??

Those Santa sweaters were awesome. I love a franchise that isn’t afraid to do something different.

To the people with the power

Is it possible to move up the ‘card’ for Mandi Schwartz back to the top for those that have been busy the past days.
It’s getting lost and I know we have a lot more GT people that will sign this.
