Print3 straight wins against a big rival, a new-look team after some wheelin' and dealin', and against the #1 team out East is one helluva way to close out the first "half" (OK, the first "two-thirds") of the season.
Blues News:
- Blues win 4-3 in the "Bettman Memorial Gimmick Spectacular" Shootout. Somebody see if that title has any chance of catching on.
- Cam Janssen got his own Puck Daddy feature. That's how you know you've made an impression (rimshot). Petr Prucha's journey into the boards courtesy of James Neal also gets mentioned.
- Olympic break time for the Blues, unless you're Polak, Johnson, or Backes. David Perron will be found somewhere in a Sherbrook rink wearing white skates.
- Luvhockey sends along a tale of Steen and Colaiacovo and how they're happy here.
NHL News:
- Pierre LeBrun talks about Childhood Villain Steve Yzerman and his potential as a GM for an NHL team. Ken Holland, your days could be numbered. Puck Daddy talks about Yzerman's press conference on Saturday. He wants to keep NHLers in the Olympics and compares Sidney to MJ. How soon til the Crosby/Ovechkin equivalent of the MJ/Bird McDonald's commercial is made?
- Tomas Holmstrom, Board Certified Ass Monger, hurt his knee on Saturday night and put his Olympic status in jeopardy.
- From the Rink runs down the hockey highlights in the Opening Ceremony.
- Scores.
- No NHL games today. US Women play China today, though.
- 4 points out going into the break.

Well, there will be hockey to be watched, but I sense some depression (or The No-Blues Blues) ought to set in by mid-week.
How soon til the Crosby/Ovechkin equivalent of the MJ/Bird McDonald’s commercial is made?/blockquote>
There is no way the NHL would EVER do this. You put Crosby in a commercial with Alex Ovechkin and his luster as the ‘face of the new NHL’ is diminished severely. The kid would shrivel up and disappear against Ovie’s charisma and general goofiness.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
The making of the commercial
is pretty awesome also

Don't forget too
If one of team Canada’s goalies goes down, Mason is getting called up.
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
Crosby and Malkin. Two girls, one cup.
Just thinking about last night's game.
Goal: Berglund
Goal: Oshie
Goal: Johnson
SO Winner: Perron
Last night, we saw the future, and the future is good.

I couldn't make it last night
Gotta apologize, haven’t gotten out in a while and some friends I haven’t seen in a time were having a party. Then I crashed at my buddies place so I didn’t have to drive 30 miles to work today where im posting right now. Good to hear the blues are awesome again.

Technically, it can't be the Gary Bettman Memorial Gimmick until Bettman is dead.
Tell me you know something I don’t, PCS!
Does "brain-dead" count?

I know I should expect it
but it always surprises me at the amount of douchebag bandwagonry that comes out at Puck Daddy, if there is even a hint of the story involving a team from the East, the Caps fans come out in droves to whine or gloat.
Its worse on ESPN
Retards adamantly defend the East being the better conferance. Stats, numbers, reason don’t apply when your trying to tell someone that not being able to beat teams with winning records is not cup contender material. Its not like 13 of the 15 western teams make the east playoffs right now or anything.

ESPN = Eastern Self-Promotion Network...
They think the USA is still like it was in 1789, with nothing beyond the Shenandoah Valley.

No they tout 4 teams in the west.....
But its because 3 are “chick” picks…..Dallas, Colorado and San Jose
and they suck on the fat tittie of Detwat…….
But any other team in the west is off the radar…..
I bet they bitched all night long about having to show the Blues at all….
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
