PrintThere's not a lot going on in Link Land, so I figured I'd try something new: The open thread. Come, chat and enjoy the open thread. Talk about the Jarmo departure, make Cup predictions or talk about baseball — anything is fair game.
And now, a song from NatetheGreat.

So im predicting the future
The blackhawks are going to win the cup.
The announcers will be all over the blackcawks.
They will beat the Hossa story into the ground.
Hossa will then score the GWG.
The announcers will use the phrase “Third times the charm for Hossa.”
I will fling my beer at the TV in disgust.
Go ahead and tell me thats not exactly whats going to go down.
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.
The sad thing is...
All of that is very likely to happen. Unless the flyers pull off a miracle, then unfortunately we’ll all have to suffer through it. But that’s ok. Next year is going to be a very good one for our Blues methinks. I predict that Berglund has a break out season and puts up great numbers. Pietrangelo finally makes the show full time and while making typical rookie mistakes, has a solid rookie season. Boyes will start the season pissed off, wanting to redeem the train wreck that was this season, and he will do just that. The flop that is Paul Kariya will be gone and will make room for someone who actually gives a shit, Eller perhaps? Oshie, Backes and Perron will continue to improve and be key to this teams success. McDonald will continue to be a solid goal scorer. Polak will keep getting better and better. I predict that the Blues will finish 4th or 5th overall next season and at least get to the second round of playoffs.
Ok, I am probably way too optimistic, but hey, i can dream can’t I?

I forgot to mention Erik Johnson!
He will also have a break out season and emerge as one of the top defensmen in the league!

I hate the Flyers too much to cheer for the Hawks. I think the blacklisting of me on this blog is going to start now

My GF and I arent discussing the Finals at all.....
Shes a Devils fan and hates the Flyers more than anything…..
Im a Blues fan and the only thing I hate worse than the Blackhawks is Fuck Detroit……
So either way one of us is gonna be pissed at the winner…..
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

If the Hawks did win, just remember: The cup could’ve been in Fuck Detroit. It could be worse

If the Flyers loose
at least you might get some in all that happiness. Then you’ll both be happy

im with you
I cannot stand the Flyers or any team Philly for that matter. Has nothing to do with wanting Chicago but much rather it was them. and of course fuck the Cubbies. By the way a friend of mine here hates the Cubbies and Detroit but roots for the Blackhawks. Maybe ifthe rivalry was stronger right now.
The only one I can stand on Philly is Coburn because he was a Portland Winterhawk.

There cannot be an open thread on this site without two words:
FUCK DETROIT.

So Jeff Gordon.....The writer not the Gay NASCAR driver....
Had a good article on the Post website about the Blues Goaltending woes……
Ill keep saying it till Im blue in the face this summer…..Take a shot at Carey Price…..Halak has solidified his worth and if the right deal can be made then I say do it…..it cant end any worse than the whole Patrick Lalime debacle………
Who knows…..maybe we only need him for 2 years then Mr Allen freaks out and becomes our saviour…….
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Has everyone given up on Ben Bishop?
Goalies usually take a while to develop; he’s had one AHL season. Goalie coach, anybody???

No I havent given up on Bishop....
But getting Price gives Bishop more of a cushion to develop…..I just have this bad feeling were gonna rush Bishop into the show and hes gonna implode ala Rick Ankiel……
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
He's had two AHL seasons I think.
I don’t think Bishop is goin to cut it. His numbers aren’t where the Blues want them to be at this point, and from what I’ve heard, he has an attitude problem’

Hey Carnie
How is your summer going?
Love your STFU shirt.

blackhawks suck is getting real close to being fuck the blackhawks and their fans.
fuck its been humid and hot outside. who the fuck turn the st. louis summer switch to “on?”
/rambling off.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
My summer’s been good. Been trying to lose weight and be more active. When I got back from school I was over 151lbs, now I am down to 143lbs. I was rocking the double chin for a while LOL.
But it’s like now I am trying to hard core exercise it gets WAY TO FUCKING HOT OUT. I even woke up at 8am to go running and it was still too hot. So I know what you mean by the heat.

There is no shame in the Freshman 15.
I just waited until grad school to pack those on. I actually lost weight in college… maybe I need to go vegetarian again.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

And this is why food at school needs to be better.
They put in an entirely organic food hall at the university that I graduated from a few years ago – I’m fairly damned jealous. We just got Taco Bell and Great Wraps and grilled cheese sandwiches and pizza and other things that’d kill us.

My freshman year at McK . . .
the village McDonald’s had $.39 hamburgers and $.49 cheeseburgers on Wednesdays, limit 10.
So every Wednesday we’d all pile over there and take them up on the offer, take the sack home, eat what we wanted at the time and put the rest in the freezer to nuke ‘em whenever we didn’t want to go to the mess hall. I think at one time I had about 15 cheeseburgers stuck in that freezer. I think I threw a party at the end of the semester to get rid of the excess.
The promotion only lasted a semester, but I can count about a 15 pound weight gain from that semester alone.
Ahhhh, simpler times . . .
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Notice now no one marked "Bad" at the rape comment.
You stay classy, Chicago.

i'll be seeing B.o.B.
in two weeks at Bonnaroo.. anyone else planning to attend?
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.
When does the 2010-11 NHL Schedule get released?
If I’m right the Blues should be playing in DC this year, which means I’ll be heading there to see them play
Baltimore Blast - 6-time MISL/NISL Champions
Let's go Blues!
I might try for that trip this year.
DC used to be my old stomping grounds.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Usually the day after the All-Star game in July.
Usually a slow sports day with no baseball.

Did anyone else read this by Jeff Gordon and get kind of pissed off?
Who peed in his Cheerios, anyway? What an outstandingly negative article. I had to double check and make sure it wasn’t from Jeff Schultz of the AJC. This is seriously close to his level of vitrol.

Yeah I was sort of miffed as well
Gordon and Miklass can’t seem to write a Blues article without being super negative or having backhanded compliments.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

Bernie reeeeally needs to stick to the Cards.

Fixed.

I personally think
we have a mole here… a lot of the points brought up in their articles are usually discussed here 1st.
Of course, I am a mildly conspiracy theorist.

Reading this website...
… probably accounts for 99.8% of Jeff Gordon’s “research”.

So I'm at the Cards game in San Diego yesterday
and there’s the usually smattering of Cub fans. They get heckled by just about everyone including my Card buddies and me.
Then out of the corner of my eye I spot a Blackhawk jersey in amongst some Cub hats. Hold the phone, this ain’t happening. Sure enough it’s a Blackhawk fan and since I’m decked out in Cardinal Red we greet each other with the “you’re #1 finger.” He’s up above us about 10 rows and he’s got the high ground so tossing beer or well mustarded up hot dogs is not an option. I ask the usher if I can change seats but I’m already on his shit list for wearing my Team Fro Bird fro. He tells me no and to sit my azz down and take off the dayum fro.
So we’re relegated to just making gestures at each other during the field changes.
FUCK THE CHICAGO CUBS AND FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
One other tidbit
Team Fro Bird was started by our old hockey goaler Bill C. from St. Ann. I’m #6 on the roster I think representing the west coast. One added benny to wearing the red fro is the wimmens who come up and want pics with Team Fro Bird. I’m not sure if it’s a clown fetish thing or too many beers or what but I’m not complaining.
These lovely young ladies were from the Lou and the one on the right even had a Lou shirt on.
