Saturday Links: The Beginning of the End Edition

by Poor College Student on May 29, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

And so begins the final playoff series for the year. It's always a bittersweet moment for me. Although with the Hawks and Flyers this year, it's mostly just bitter.

Blues News:

Tough guy Kelly Chase will lace 'em up for the Battle of the Blades figure skating reality show

NHL News:

Puck Daddy looks at both captains in the finals.
Outdoor games will be in Calgary and Pittsburgh. Crosby again? I know, I'm shocked, too.
I know character counts, but with these odd interview Qs at the draft combine, I'd be more confused than philosophical if I was forced into deciding between a gun and a poem.
Bettman isn't so sure on sending NHLers to the Worlds. Could this indicate a change toward NHLers no longer playing the Olympic?
Schedule. It's at 7PM.

Other Stuff:

More from Videogame University
I remember when my to-do list was this much fun.
More videogame shit. Street Fighter Facebook
First drafts of famous album covers.

Video:

I'm hoping this video sets the tone for a physical Stanley Cup Finals. That'd certainly play more to Philly's strength.

Hope to see you at Bobby's Place tonight. I'll be a little late since I'm coming from the Illinois State Track Meet but I'll drink enough to make up for it once I get there.

I wish I could make it to Bobby's,

but with the US soccer friendly, Cards-Cubs, SCF game 1, and hopefully some steak grilling somewhere inbetween, I’ll be holding my own booze down here in the dirty ’Dale.

BLACKHAWKS SUCK!

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!!!"

CHANGE IN PLANS!

Looks like I’ll see you all at Bobby’s tonight after all.

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

Still hoping to make it tonight

no babysitter yet, well they aren’t babies, more like no referee yet.
I may just let them duke it out for a few hours and hope my house isn’t destroyed when I get home.
Wouldn’t be able to stay for the whole thing but long enough for burgers and iced tea/beer.

What time is the meet up and how will I know which bunch is SLGT? Game starts at 7 right?
Heading to work I’ll catch up later
