Tuesday links: If you can't get up for a Blackhawks game, go watch spring baseball edition

The Blackhawks are in town. I believe a loss would mathematically make it impossible for the Blues to sneak into the playoffs. No pressure, boys.

I found this interestin

on the Oilers link

If the Oilers are thinking of adding a nuclear deterrent this summer, they might be looking at Blues tough guy D.J. King,

That video of Belfour blowing up never gets old!

But how did the Blues ever win a playoff series with Brian Sutter’s little brothers out there? It blows my mind sometimes…

i liked this little nugget:

Since the start of the 2007-08 season, the Kings’ Dustin Brown ranks first in the league with 866 hits. Backes and Ryan Callahan are tied for second in that span with 677.

"It takes a toll on the body, but it is part of the game that I love and makes it exciting," Backes said. "A hit can change the momentum of a game and make a lasting impression.

"If I was a country band, I would be very successful with that many hits in three years."

Paul Kariya's hips don't lie and he's starting to feel it's right.

Dustin Brown

was sporting a nice bright purple shiner last night in the King’s game. First one spotted as we head into playoff hockey time.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

I’ll second that.

And I alsao agree with the comkmenters who noted that “Modern Marvels” is most certainly an educational show. I enjoy the hell out of watching that, and will never turn it off if it comes up while I’m channel surfing.

This on my fantasy team info

Polak did not practice Monday because of a sore shoulder, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Recommendation: This is the same shoulder that caused him to miss a couple of games last week. He’s listed as questionable for Tuesday night’s game against the Blackhawks.
