Sunday Links: Hoping for the first of four straight San Jose wins edition

by Poor College Student on May 23, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

C'mon Sharks! A guy can dream, right?

Blues News:

You can still vote for Steen and Silent Jay in the Fan Awards, though.
A great write-up about the Plager legacy. We should get her to write for us.

NHL News:

After witnessing another Flyers win, it seems the moral of this year's Eastern Conference Playoffs is "have a hot goaltender." Puck Daddy and Broad Street recap.
As indicated by the Broad Street headline, some sort of something put dents in the blades of Philly's squad. Conspiracy!?!?!?! No, probably not, but sometimes I like using unnecessary and excessive punctuation.
Tyler Seguin has been named the CHL's top prospect. Don't worry, folks, I'm sure Taylor Hall will make money, too.
I agree with Brian Burke: What's the point of having the World Championships in Olympic years? Besides fulfilling contracts and shit.
Schedule. It's just one game and it's at 2PM.

Other Stuff:

I never worked well in partner assignments, either.
Your grandparent's twitter.
Bros icing Ashton. Exactly what it sounds like and, as far as I'm concerned, exactly what needs to happen.

Video:

As I was putting the links together, Patton Oswalt was on Comedy Central. That's reason enough for me.

And if you haven't seen this hilarious Bettman video from Down Goes Brown, you should see this hilarious Bettman video from Down Goes Brown.

Averagejoe returns for Monday, just like he always does.

So if Bettman beats up redwing spawnlings daily thats good.
If he destroyes the NHL thats bad.
If theres no NHL, then theres no one for red wing fans to avoid paying child support to because there are no red wings.

So does that mean its double bad? Also I need more sleep and coffee, gotta work on sunday.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

What's better: beating Redwing fan younglings or no Redwing fans at all?

I’m not sure that’s a question that mere mortals such as ourselves can answer.

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

As well as an obituary.

That really, really can’t be healthy.

BTW, thanks for the link PCS – that one’d been in the pipeline for about 3 months. It’s amazing what one can accomplish when a class is taking a final and is QUIET for the first time all semester. Ahh, 2 more workdays of doing nothing, then freedom.

BTW, DGB/Bloge Salming are the greatest YouTube video people ever. If you haven’t seen their spoof of eHarmony yet, you really have to.

Although we were on the losing end of it

my favorite DGB/Bloge video is the Olympic Rap.

THE FUCKING BANDWAGONHAWKS...FUCKY FUCK SHITBALLS

Thank god school’s out so I don’t have to deal with all the idiots (the vast majority of whom are also Cubs fans, as well as from the North Shore, so that makes them triply insufferable) who laughed at me three years ago when I wanted to watch hockey and now obsess about Byfuglien.

Now I have to support a team from Philadelphia. Yippie skippie.

It's a funny name.

Fucking bawls.

First of all now who the fucks gdt am I going to hit up? Chicago or Philly? Fucking UGH. O well I didn’t fucking shop this for nothing.

Ugh.

Now I have to root for the Flyers? Jeebus.

BTW, it might be two different teams in the SCF, but it’s the same 2 divisions: Central and Atlantic. I’ve felt that they’re the two most competitive divisions in the NHL and have been for a while… it just seems like they keep popping up over and over in situations like this.

in those series after the 67 expansion

the playoffs or qualifications or whatever were set up so an expansion team would play in the final, i do believe

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
