Wednesday Links: Both Blues players named Brad scored a goal edition

by Poor College Student on Dec 29, 2010 6:01 AM CST

How often will I get a chance to use that as a headline?

Blues News:

Blues 3. Hawks 1. Damn skippy. [Post-Dispatch]
If Teej is able to get back earlier than expected and the Blues can still keep up the winning streak, the Western Conference had better look the fuck out. [Post-Dispatch]
Marek Svatos, welcome. [Puck Daddy] [Post-Dispatch]
I imagine you've seen this Backes article by now, right? [Post-Dispatch]

NHL News:

James Wisniewski goes from the Islanders to the Habs. Also, the Montreal blog uses words like "Rearguard" in their titles. [Habs Eyes on the Prize]
Naturally, TSN has an opinion and some words about it, too. [TSN]
For some reason, time-lapses of field conversions never get old. Enjoy. [Puck Daddy]
Darryl Sutter is no longer the GM of the Flame. He still looks like a leprechaun as far as I know, though. [Matchsticks and Gasoline]
Emerson Etem: Certainly not a fan of Buffalo. Patrick Kane and Lee Stempniak will have something to say when the kid makes it to the NHL, I'm sure. [Puck Daddy]
Sabres have been sold, but it won't be announced until after Juniors. I wish other ownership debacles could be solved so quickly. [Die By The Blade]

Other Stuff:

Ralph Wiggum, American hero. [Warming Glow]
How to be a criminal. That's actually what this link is about. [The Smoking Jacket]
The older generation knows more this than I do, but here's some of the classic-er moments from the Friar's Club Roasts. My knowledge is limited to that late night infomercial. You know the one I'm talking about. [Ego TV]

Video:

CCR with a winner. This guy tripped on acid and proceeded to rant. Normal enough, right? But what happens when his rambling is set to animation?

Weidler with a winner as well: The Christmas Remix of the Bed Intruder.

See what happens when you send shit in, people? You get internet glory for at least a day. Maybe even two.

That's all from Links Land. Apologies if a story broke after the 10PM hour and I missed it. I'll be doing them at my regularly scheduled time of late as shit once I'm back from trying to keep up with my family in Florida.

I sent a MUCH cooler video after I sent that one... we'll see if it makes the links in the next few days...

Think “trailer for awesome upcoming movie,” and no, it’s not “Thor.”

BTW, speaking of movies, saw “True Grit” today. It was as good as the original, IMO… right down to where Rooster Cogburn faces off against the four bandits and tells them “fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch” before he gallops at ‘em guns a-blazin’.

The girl who played Maddie Ross is awfully cute, and not a bad little actress, either. She had some epic wins for lines…

that line is in the 100 Greatest Movie Insults video.

My parents saw the movie as well and they like it a lot.

Yeah... I don't know what I am on either.

I dunno, but "Rearguard" sounds like a prison name.

Wisniewski better watch his cornhole in Montréal.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Damn You Nashville...

They claimed Svatos off re-entry waivers. Guess he won’t be playing for us afterall.

Bastards…go find your own players.

Marek Svatos, welcome.

Or…NOT. Ah, hahaha.

David Poile 1, St. Louis Blues 0.

Better luck next time.

So the name of the Blues' GM...

… is “St. Louis Blues”?

Man, it’s like that guy spent all his life preparing to be the general manager of this team.

(I bet it was kind of embarrassing for him when he worked in Dallas, though.)

awww, how cute, a Preds fan who thinks that signing a player off waivers equals a huge win…

Do me a favor, make it OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND before you come around here and puffing out your chest, otherwise you’re just embarrassing yourself.

Hmm

this whole situation kind of reminds me of those psych experiments that you see with the children. One child is offered a toy and wants nothing to do with it. The second child begins to play with the toy and all of a sudden the first child is interested in the toy and pitches a fit to play with it. Unfortunately, with the waiver system, this rewards the first spoiled brat (Nashville). C’est la vie

Hey, props to them...

… they just strutted their inferior W-L record. It takes a lot of planning and subtlety to throw games and sink below your competition for the sole purpose of stealing Marek Freaking Svatos. I’m sure they’ll shoot up the standings now that they’ve acquired their prize forward.
