Two songs today. The first is good because it's so, so bad. With lyrics like this: water, fire air and dirt/fucking magnets, how do they work? you can't not enjoy this shitty song. Lyrics not safe for work.

This video is awesome, because it actually is. Thanks NatetheGreat.

That's it for me. Donut King will rap at you later. Send stuff to gametimelinks(at)gmail.com

I'm actually really bummed

about Tkachuk, I was really excited when we signed him and while his output has dropped a bit the last couple of years he always gave 100% out on the ice

No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.

Oh, that mugshot is a thing of beauty.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

I hope Carolina has a good BBQ spread for the out of towners.

I heard that they got the ASG because of the uncertainty that the ‘Yotes were going to be in PHX next year. If that’s true, God, that really sucks. Such a great season for them, and then boosh.

I have to admit, that during the playoffs I might have to dig out my Peyote jersey. Why I have one, I have no clue… I think my Dad gave it to me when he was collecting jerseys… and then dumped them… and for some reason didn’t give me the Blues or Penguins ones. My father is weird.

But I do like the Acid Dog.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Anyone watching the frozen four?? ESPN2

Playing at Ford Field. The Lions football field in Detroit.
1st period RIT 0 Wisc 2
Wisconsin was the 3rd seed. Rochester Institute not seeded beat Denver (seed #2) in the first round.
Tonight Miami (Ohio #1 seed) vs BC (#4 seed)

Why would they play in a huge stadium like that? It looks empty when you only have 10k people in something that holds 60k

Hope to watch the second game. Have to head out to baseball practice soon.

And a little trivia about RIT

They offer NO scholarships. You need an ACT score of 27 to be considered for admission. 21 is considered the norm at most colleges.
I think they’re outmatched but to make it to the frozen 4—good on them
