PrintI'm in the process of looking for a flux capacitor and some plutonium just so I can fast forward to Sunday to watch USA vs. Canada. Holy jumpin'!
Blues News:
- The Post-Dispatch tabs Roman Polak as their favorite D-man this year. I can't say I blame 'em. Dude is solid in his own end and can put the puck on net with some pop when needed.
NHL News:
- Bettman discusses NHL participation in 2014.
- TSN has a Trade Deadline Playbook for the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference.
Olympic News:
- Even Olympians practice safe sex. Well, they're at least afforded the opportunity to do so.
- Has NBC and/or its affiliates wronged you in someway? Boy, Puck Daddy sure does have a recurring column for you!!
- Canada gets a day off in preparation for the showdown with the Americans.
- The Stastnys (Paul and Peter) reminisce about 1980.
- Science of the Olympic Games: The Slapshot. My guess is RFJCC could teach most of this stuff already.
- Bobby Ryan likes curling. Mike Richards likes the Buck Hunting Arcade Game. There's a Flyers stereotype in there somewhere.
- Midpoint Olympic awards. These cover the entire Games, not just hockey.
- Finland beats Germany. Czech Republic beats Lativa. Sweden avenges Belarus. Scores and standings are here.
Other Stuff:
- Gift has a link that the folks observing Lent will want to take a look at, unless you want to do cheese pizza or something like that. Friday Night Fish.
- Craigslist is always good for a laugh. This time it's in the form of a question.
- I'm guessing this lady looked up Brittanie Cecil on Wikipedia and figured she could make a fortune on this case.
- Yer doin' it right!
- 5 things that are "pretend news"

In preparing for USA vs. Canada, there's no one I'd rather here from than David Backes

I heard “my boy Sherman” died and Mr. Peabody is looking for a new assistant.

I absolutely love those condoms.
Not in a “I use that brand!” way, but just because it’s absolutely hysterical. Honestly, though – does anyone want to use something endorsed by the US Curling teams? Their failure rate’s pretty high… I wouldn’t trust that thing.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
The US curling teams...
… would probably be better off endorsing a complete line of ipecacs.
Ow.
You know, it’s funny, I watched a little bit of them the other night and I really did have a weird urge to throw up.

speaking of failed condoms
I have a buddy who claims half his family is due to leaky condoms he bought at the old Fina gas station on north Lindbergh Blvd. The French Tickler revenge.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
Does Bettman really think he's fooling anyone?
NHL players will participate in 2014. You know it, I know it, Bob Dole in Kansas knows it. I guess he thinks that he can use it as a bargaining chip to get something else out of the players during the next CBA; but that’s a load of crap. Ovechkin has already said that he’s playing in Sochi, no matter what; are we supposed to believe that Ted Leonsis is going to ask the league to suspend him after the Games are over?
Don’t believe the hype.
Bettman's trying to get the IIHF
to put pressure on Russia to honor NHL contracts (Alex Radulov, anyone?) as much as using the Olympics as a bargaining chip with the dysfunctional NHLPA… He’ll have better luck with the next CBA than he will with the IIHF (at least, that’s the way to bet!)
NHL owners don’t like the compressed schedule, shutting down for two weeks, or the chance of one of their stars getting hurt. The Olympics would be a little more palatable for them if NBA would, you know, actually televise the damn games!

Here's one the Friday Night Fish folks should review . . .
the Collinsville American Legion.
Yeah, they have a fish fry every week whether or not it’s Lent. I personally am not Catholic, so I don’t have to go. But Goddamn is their fish delicious. Every time. Pair that with a few cold beers and . . . well, you’d think you were in heaven.

On the subject of fish fries...
… there’s an Orthodox Church up there somewhere (I can’t remember where, but it’s near GC) where my great aunt and uncle went for fish fries on Friday. Not Catholic or Orthodox either… they just really liked the fish. :D

Sounds good, Herr Koenig…
Sundae Best in Benld (the little shack in the park, right before the tracks) does a pretty good fish fry during Lent, too. i will usually stop there for dinner at least once or twice on my way home every year during Lent.

They do one . . .
as well as Fema’s, also in Benld. But I only go to Fema’s for their cheese tortellinis, which are absolutely awesome.
Why yes, I AM slightly overweight.

Naah.
You had to post that twice because Ravanelli’s is just that freaking awesome. Or, well, it was… you guys still have the broasted chicken?
And I like to think of myself and my mom as living proof that you can escape the pull… though I have to admit, that as a kid, it was a helluva nice place to grow up.

Maybe a stupid question...
My friends and I have been closely following hockey for about a year. It started as an impulse trip from Cincinnati to St Louis to watch a Blues-Wings game and very quickly developed into a near-lunatic obsession with the NHL for about a dozen guys. I think it’s about time to get a jersey, but I’m not really comfortable with my relatively incomplete knowledge of how things go down trade-wise, either in the league as a whole or in the Blues’ organization itself. I don’t want to shell out the extra cash to get a name and number on my jersey, only to see that player traded after a season or so—thus pegging me as an auto-noob every time I wear it. Who (if anyone) would be a relatively safe bet to stick around for at least a few years? I was thinking Oshie or Backes would probably be decent choices. TJ scored the first NHL goal I ever saw, and David Backes is quickly becoming a GI Joe-certified Real American Hero, so I could see myself sporting either of their jerseys.
Or should I just get a blank one?
Not a stupid question at all.
In years past, you’d have been safest to just get a blank sweater. Thankfully, the current owners aren’t all that interested in a steady supply of “meat on the burner”.
Oshie and Backes are both solid choices. Erik Johnson and Roman Polak should also be pretty safe bets.
Oh, and don’t worry about feeling like a noob. Next time you’re at the Kiel for a game, walk around and make a list of the players’ names you see. You’ll find a dozen former Blues represented – and that’s just in the walk from the concession stand to your seat.
I have 4
ex Blues jerseys. I have no problem wearing them. Just because they got traded
doesn’t me I stopped liking them.

Thanks for the compliment
I actually tried to teach my campers about the slapshot last summer….It pretty much ended with me snapping a stick and then hitting a camper in the chest with a puck that bounced of the post. For the record he was fine
Look I'm sure youre a nice person and everything but that Redwings jersey you're wearing makes me want to cave your face in with my fist...it's not you it's me and the fact that you're a fucking Redwings fan
I like how Backes
Made multiple efforts to point out how clean and hard U.S. is to the hot interview chick.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Ummm
Hopefully someone tells Kane that the ice dancers in question are Americans Charlie White (right) and Evan Bates, Detroit Red Wings hockey fans who play NHL 10 on Xbox to calm their nerves. While good-lookin’, they may not exactly be the image that immediately jumps to Patty’s mind when hearing “ice dancer.”
No no, that’s exactly what Patty Cakes is looking for.
Not afraid to nitpick
the level of trim in that arena is decidedly
below-average…..
Trolls everywhere, it’s like lord of the rings in that bitch
And for some reason the announcers don’t know they’re on the air during “breaks” so you can hear them talking.
loan company?
that’s who usually yells at me about my car. That and coppers
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
na, someone was telling me not to hit theirs because they parked behind me
I guess they think I blindfold myself whenever I put my car in reverse…
they sure pan the crowd alot
not a great place to take the mistress I bet
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
wow
a couple a decent looking broads on the camera, it only took 2 periods, congratulations Detroit!
i gotta get by and see the local Reign team in Ontario
they play in the ECHL. Alaska is coming I think and they have Blues minor prospects right?
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
Just TJ Fast and Ryan Turek at this point...
Anthony Peluso’s been there, but is up in Peoria to stay now, it looks like.
I’d like to see the Blues send a few more guys down there right out of college/junior/Europe. Sign Berra and one or two others, and ship them up there. If they’re going to have a Class “AA” affiliate (as opposed to Peoria being “AAA”), they might as well get some use out of it…
Of course, it’d be better if there was an ECHL team at the Family Arena, or even if they somehow got the Bloomington (IL) Prairie Thunder (cool name, and sweet sweaters) to abandon that shit-knuckle IHL and move up to the Coast…

Ohno
makes it through to the medal race but not Celski.
He’s like cat that always lands on his feet. I have no idea how he won that race.
Tomorrow will be an interesting hockey day.
3 big rivalry games with great teams. Any of which can win the gold
I know there’s no way I can stay up for that late game though. I switched work days next week. Off Mon and work Tues to volunteer for a district wide equations competition for the gifted kids.
So I still need to get up early to get boys to school and then off to the competition.
Does anyone know the schedule for the next round of hockey? I guess we won’t know who we play until after the late game tomorrow.
