Sunday Links: Brad Boyes for 3rd string goalie edition

by Poor College Student on Mar 21, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

With a desperation stop like that, he could have a career revival by keeping pucks out of his own net if this whole "shoot the puck in the other team's net" thing doesn't work out.

Blues News:

Blues stick it to Lemaire, Brodeur, and the Satans.
Power Play (and blue line offense, in general) will improve drastically if EJ manages to get his powerful shot on the net with regularity.
If 6 o'clock gets an "EARLY START ALERT," then 5 PM gets a "RIDICULOUSLY EARLY START ALERT." Blues/Preds and it'll be on Fox Sports.
Do we hate the Devils for things that happened over a decade? Sure. But I'll give 'em one thing: They can break down a game pretty well.
Polak appears to be fine according to JR's twitter. If anything changes, Rutherford will get the word out.

NHL News:

The head-shot rule, the return of Coyotes ownership woes, and Canada's consideration for "Coach Gretzky" at the World Championships all in Pierre LeBrun's latest entry.
Manny gets himself hurt. Nobody tell Carnie.
Even Cam Neely is questioning the Bruins
Scores. Vancouver's ~~helping us out midway through the 2nd with a 2 goal lead on~~ blowing of a 2 goal lead opened the door for Detroit, Columbus hurts us by letting Nashville pull one out in OT, and Ottawa did nothing for us by letting Dallas win. LA wins over NYI.
Schedule. We want Minnesota over Calgary (and no overtime, dammit!), Phoenix over Dallas, and Colorado over Anaheim (Definitely no OT).
Standings

Other Stuff:

The 8 bit wonders of the world.
Imagine, if you will, Paul Giamatti as Michael Scott.
Holy shit, go outside already.

In case you missed it or want another look at it, here's the marathon fight between Janssen and Pierre-Luc Letourneau LeBlond. In case you're wondering, Pierre-Luc will not be appearing on my All-Name Team.

Chris Gift sends along this beauty. CHRIS HOLT!

Get ready to chow down with some Prospect Sunday, followed by the GDT.

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.

I wouldn't say Manny "got himself hurt"

Kennedy jumping on top of him (without help I might add) had a lot to do with it.

So he was the Fuhr

to Kennedy’s Kypreos.

I know Cam pretty much got his ass handed to him there...

But I fucking love that guy. Waved the refs off…TWICE…when it was apparent to all he was on the short end of it. Kept in there. Didn’t turtle. Kept throwing.

Awesome.

Agreed.

Give me Cam over King next year, please. Let’s face it, King’s minimal offensive ‘ability’ doesn’t trump the pure emotion and excitement Cam brings. Plus, Cam has a significantly better personality.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

I may be wrong but I think the idea is to win a fight

and not be a punching bag.

Great fight my azz, it was like watching paint dry. The same ole Cam lock out with some glancing blows over the top. So instead of a minute long bore fest we get 3 minutes this time. Howz bout we just shuck the gloves and throw em? This technical nancing around waiting for the other guy to drain out and then land the perfect punch sucks. Cam could win some of these bouts with the bigger dudes if he would just open up a little and throw.

I will give them both points for the display of stamina and props to the linesmen for letting the paint dry.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
