Sunday Links: "Humbly Requesting a Do-Over" Edition

Well...we weren't gonna win 'em all after the break, right?
There's no way around last night. That just sucked.
Blues News:
- Hot streaks must end. And damn, the Blues sure ended one last night. 7-3 Avs.
- The Hockey News lists Alex Pietrangelo as the finest prospect in all the land.
NHL News:
- The Wheel of Justice should spin for Boogaard real soon.
- A picture of Sidney Crosby's Gold Medal winning stick will be coming to the side of a milk carton near you.
- Steven Stamkos just scored #40, in case you were wondering about the only forward taken ahead of Alex Pietrangelo in his draft year.
- Scores.
- Standings. We're still 3 points out. Not as bad as it could be but 1 point out sure would be better.
- Schedule. Root for Chicago over Detroit (I feel sick either way), Vancouver over Nashville, and pray Minnesota vs Calgary doesn't go to overtime. Hopefull, Montreal can take care of Anaheim.
Other Stuff:
- Hey, it's Oscar night. J-Mill has even more reasons to give less of a damn.
- My ladyfriend decided to get in on the act and send along this Cracked link about what Gary Busey would look like as a textbook author.
- Then she sends me this one about horrible attempts at sex ed. I can only hope there's not some subtle innuendo there at my expense. *fingers crossed
Video:
Spectr17 has a video that can't be embedded. However, it gets my mind off last night's loss. Click here to view a re-telling of the 3 Little Pigs.
We're hoping to ride a second half hot streak into the playoffs. We were hoping for this last year and it worked out successfully. We played OK Go yesterday and I sense a weekend theme: Here It Goes Again. The business part of this one starts about 28ish seconds in.
Prospect Sundays coming today. Averagejoe comes back starting Monday.

Imma pretend like last night did not happen…like the other time we got our asses handed to us on a silver plate by the Avs.

The Hawks are laying an egg.
Still half the game left but down by 2

Not surprising...
Those asshats can’t win when you want them to.
I’d bet my port testicle that 20 Cent and Taves are playing like tee-total shit today… but the next time we want them to suck, like against the Blues on Mar. 30, they’ll play like goddamn Yvan Cournoyer and Cam Neely.
Bastards.

The Hockey News lists Alex Pietrangelo as the finest prospect in all the land.
…and yet there are still dilrods in this city who insist that Pietrangelo is a bust, and the Blues should have already traded him, because he hasn’t set the NHL on fire yet at age 19.
Stamkos scoring 40 goals is one thing; he’s a forward, and close to a generational talent at that. I think, personally, that Stamkos is better than the ore highly-pimped John Tavares, but anyway…
I dont think it’s too much of a stretch to assert that Pietrangelo will end up being the best offensive defenseman ever to wear a Bluenote when his career is said and done. With him, Johnson, Pola’k, Jackman and some combination of all the d-prospects (Strachan, Junland, Rundblad, Cole, Warsofsky, Shields, Cundari, Fairchild, Berglund) already in the system — and the one or two that the Blues are almost certain to add in the upcoming draft — the Blues’ defense looks to be in pretty good hands for the next decade or so.

Agreed, I may not have a high hockey IQ, but with Junland, Cole (maybe), Petro, Polak, Strachs, and EJ manning the blue line and the possibility of Allen being the stud goalie for the next 10 years. This team will be a force for a long while.
As for this dil-rods…screw em’…They are the sam dilrods that want to trade Frenchie and gave up on Bergie earlier this year. If they want back on the bus, they have to take the seat next to the shitter…oh and the shitter is full.

So I'm at a trade convention manning a booth during the game
I’m talking to potential client with the cellphone on the table with the Blues game updates flashing on. When the score hit 4-1 I blurted out “SHIT!!” and the client was giving me the stink eye so I had to explain why. He understood.
That was a nut crushing defeat there.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
