Tuesday links: A Duke golfer liking the Blues qualifies as news this time of the year edition

Gooooood morning, friends. Thanks to PCS for taking the reins yesterday, but today you're all stuck with me — so let's sit back, click stuff and give me a pity laugh for my "hilarous" one-liners.

Blues news

• The PD wonders how the Blackhawks got so much better than the Blues. It's really easy: They have young guys who can score, the Blues have young guys who play D. [StlToday]
• Adam Long is a golfer for Duke. He likes the Blues. This is news in the offseason. [Duke]
• The Rivermen are going all Benjamin Button. The team is expected to be younger next season. [Peoria Journal Star]

Hockey news

• A look at the Blackhawks that warms the cockles of my heart. [Jewels From The Crown]
• Wild fans love Owen Nolan? Really? HW looks at who the Wilds should keep and who should be let go. [Hockey Wildernes]

• Michael Leighton has had a long trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. [TSN]

If SNL was all digital shorts, it would be awesome.

From the email of the man with many names — Tomorrows Blues, B etc. — comes a pretty funny news blooper. This dude goes from polished to raw in one bug.

That's it from me for today. Have a good one.
