By the team you finish these links, five more savable shots will have slid past Chris Mason.

Great, just what I like to see when the Blues are struggling: The Red Wings coming to town. [NHL.com]

I wish something like this would happen in the NHL. Also, let's get some Swedish karma for tonight.

Lastly, to borrow a line from Poor College Student, I'll stop posting this video when I get tired of it ... which well be never.

Love the Blues/Wings fight.

Cujo will always be my favorite Blues goalie.

I’m still pissed about that game last night. What was crazy was “The Can” (Pepsi Arena) was at least 1/3 empty, if not more. My buddy (who got us great seats 9 rows off the glass off Mason’s left shoulder to start the game) said, “I feel bad saying this, but I love the recession. I didn’t have to wait in line for a beer or to take a piss afterwards.”

#$%^&* soft and disallowed goals……

St. Louis Blues. St. Louis Cardinals. Denver Broncos. Univ of Denver hockey and lacrosse. Colorado Mammoth and Colorado Outlaws lacrosse.
