First the Kiel Center and now the Opera house. Not a good run for the ole Kiel name.
Blues news
- Dave Checketts and friends are re-opening the Kiel Opera House. It will now be called the Peabody Opera House. Here's a thought, they changed the wrong word — opera needs to be dropped from the title. [Blues]
- Nicholas Drazenovic has a new deal with the organization. He's on a two-way deal and expects to be in Peoria. I'm pretty sure he's better than Brad Winchester. [PJ Star]
- Former Blue Rob Ramage is getting locked up. Ramage will be spending the next four years in prison for impaired driving the killed a man. [The Star]
Hockey news
- Gary Bettman gets paid a lot of coin, but is he overpaid? Yes. But read PPP for a reasoned viewpoint. [Pension Plan Puppets]
- The Blackhawks are matching the Sharks' offer sheet to Niklas Hjalmarsson. [TSN]
- By matching the offer, the Hawks are in for more cap fun. Fun for us, not for them. [ESPN]
- Mike Kitchen is joining Joel Quenneville in Chicago. [ESPN]
- Ilya Kovlachuk has done nothing. Again. [TSN]
- After turning a blind eye to PEDs and helping cancel a World Series, the NHLPA likes the cut of Donald Fehr's jib. [TSN]
- Devan Dubnyk, who made the Blues look awesome, has a new deal in Edmonton. [TSN]
Other links
- From CCR via a twitter find — he wasn't reading Jezebel for the celebrity gossip, honest — comes the periodic table of swearing. A lot of it is British, so the good Dr. might need to help us out. Still lots of good stuff. [Jezebel]
- Want a weapon for the zombie invasion? RPC — Rocket Propelled Chainsaw. [Skull Swap]
- This site routinely cracks me up. Today, six very solid reasons why you should ride a polar bear to work. After reading this, I really want a pet polar bear. [The Oatmeal]
- Paul the Octopus is going out a champion — the prognosticating octopus is retiring. [ESPN]

uiwwildthing is a fan of Dan LeBatard's reaction to LeBron James' decision. I heard this during the weekend and enjoyed it as well.
Mr Particle says he can't go shopping without humming this song. It reminds me of South Park's "Let's Fighting Love" song.

Two questions:
1. Is there an MSG Man?
2. Does he have a kick-ass song?
Let's go Blues!!!

MSG Man?
His flavor-enhancing powers aren’t worthy of a song.

All that hate for Winchester.
I’d rather direct all that hate at Jackman. So slow. So bad a handling the puck.
It's not his job to handle the puck
at least it’s not anymore. Just stay at home, lay a borderline hit or shove here and there, and wear an ‘A.’ With EJ coming into his own, Cola back in the mix, and hopefully Petro getting real ice time this year, that’s all Jax needs to do – and he’s usually pretty damn good at it, too.
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!!!"

Don't forget the

Jackman is the man
Hes not there to move the puck and his speed isn’t that much of an issue since he plays his position well. He is the guy who will punch you in the face if your mess with the goalie, he will clear the crease, stops screens and play hard defensive hockey. I don’t care if he screws up a clear every now and then or doesn’t contribute a lot offensively, we are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL and Jackman is a big big part of why.
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.
Agree with Joe...
I’m pretty sure that Nick Drazenovic is better than Brad Winchester, too.

SIR JAXX DOES NOT APPRECIATE YOUR INFIDELITY!!!!!
Seriously. Winchester blows.

Looks like the Blackhawks are fucked...again...
Maybe we can take Sharp off their hands? What do you guys think it would take to get him given how bad Chicago needs to trade either Sharp or Campbell (good luck with trading Campbell with his huge salary…). Sharp is probably the guy they will be able to move….don’t we need a top 6 forward? Make it happen JD and Dougie.
The Hawks are totally fucked. Matching a contract instead of taking a First and a Third is stupid when they already need to drop money. But hey, I love their style so far. Totally fucking themselves over.
Considering the players they will have to move, high priced high talent ones, the Blues probably won’t be in the bidding, and if they were wouldn’t be accepted because of the division.
If all things are equal trade wise, I’m sure the Hawks preference for trading parter would be
Bad East>Good East>Bad Non-Central West> Good West+Central West

delayed three-way deal to bring him back to the Central?

I was thinking the same thing.
I can’t remember a hockey precedent, but Whitey Herzog once traded for Rollie Fingers and then traded him away in a four-day span.
That's a real damn shame about Ramage
The courts made an example out of him. How he’s locked up but that parole board pardoned that sicko Graham James is despicable.
Shows that you can lead a hell of a life and one decision could destroy everything. Really makes you think. RIP Keith Magnuson

Darryl Sydor's a Coach
One of two assistants for the Houston Aeros. It’s good to see someone with such history getting to continue his career. Guy was practically coaching from the press box last season. Seriously. Headset and all.
nice to see
he’s a class guy

Shouldn't the Peabody Opera House...
… be attached to the Sherman Center?

I hate how the whole LeBron thing played out.
Especially since I have relatives (well, A relative) in Cleveland.
But Dan LeBatard is fucking hilarious.

Visit my friends at The Bluenote Zone.
And I just remembered that I had to take The Bluenote Zone off my signature.
As of last night, it is done. Kaput. I’m sure the posts will stay up in some fashion, but the ringleaders got too busy with other commitments, including my friend Jeff who is now writing about the Blues (and probably the Pens too) for a couple of very reputable national hockey sites. He is good and stuff.
