Saturday Links: Finding out if soccer can cure the hockey hangover Edition

PrintFrom your Weekend "Noel Picard," (until the title changes, at least) enjoy my attempt at distracting myself from the BLLEEEEEAAAAAARGGGGiness (Absolutely a word I just made up) of the Stanley Cup Finals result.
Blues "News":
- Gift passes along a link and inspires me to find one similar to it. Just in case you were wondering, "Boyes" and "Oshie" don't inspire some Wikipedia editors to think of hockey first. We don't get no respect, I tells ya.
- And Jeff Gordon tries to see how the Blues can get to where the Hawks are now. This is a couple of days old and I don't blame Joe one bit for letting it linger. Consider this my first step towards getting better.
NHL News:
- Broad Street takes a look at where their team stands on clean-up day. Good to see Mike Liut's still around in some capacity.
- Would Pronger let Burish's comments go unanswered? Not a chance.
- Coming soon to a Leafs team near you: Captain Dion Phaneuf
- Speaking of the Leafs, Down Goes Brown has a copy of Brian Burke's letter to the other GMs concerning Kaberle.
- Justice is served to people named Pierre McGuire in the Best and Worst of Broadcasting.
- Jersey fouls. You know 'em, you love 'em.
Other Stuff:
- I imagine the US soccer team would have rather dealt with road construction.
- Famous fictional children all "grown up." Some of these are better than others but the ones that hit are pretty damn good.
- If you had a Nintendo 64 and didn't like Star Fox 64, we can't be friends. The crew tries to get back together on Facebook.
Video:
Joe has his dog videos. I have Keyboard Cat. Also appearing in this video, Helen Hunt , ecstasy, and "Hall and Oates."
Confused? Hell, I don't blame you.
And I'm off to go be interested in soccer for the first time in four years. Let's go USA!

Id have to say...
the hell with the world cup….
the demise of the big 12 is keeping me highly entertained…..the Mizzou fans are all running around like chicken little……i believe theyve hit the panic button big time and it amuses me to no end…….
Fuck Mizzou and Kansas…….they deserve what they get…..
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..."
What the crap?
How does NBC get best commentator award? They suck. I’d much rather have Versus. That way I don’t have to hear “Active stick” every six seconds. Not to mention everyones voice on the NBC broadcast is like nails on a chalk board to me. Plus everytime you have an NBC broadcast you get to hear them trying to fit their heads up the Pens, Wings, or Caps butts.
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.
Crosby and Malkin. Two girls, one cup.
Olcyzk and Milbury are pretty bad
but I like Doc Emrick. If they could get him some better people around him it’d be much better.
Also, I’d have to believe John Kelly was a contender for worst play-by-play.
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!!!"
Have you ever noticed how every single after school special...
… or anti-drug movie always has someone taking a TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENY bit of the drug and then promptly leaping from a window?
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.
AMURRIKUH! FUCK . . . oh, it was a draw.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
FUCK...okay?
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!!!"
Tied with the Brits?
I’d have to say that ain’t too bad, considering that England is as far above us in soccer as we are above them in hockey.

It sounded like a hornets' nest - yeesh.
Something that obnoxious’d be taken away from someone at a hockey game if he blew on it for 2 hours straight.

as one colleague put it
sounded like a bunch of smoked up folks humming Pink Floyd covers on kazoos
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
I don't think it's quite that bad...
… after all, the US qualified for the World Cup. When was the last time a British team qualified for any IIHF- or IOC-sanctioned tournament?
But yes, a 1-1 draw might as well have been a win. Take care of business in the other two group games, and we’ll be assured of surviving group play.

Mmm... Helen Hunt, circa 1979...
…or any year, for that matter.
Keyboard Kitteh rules!
