PrintI don't often use the links as my personal soapbox — who I am kidding, I do it every single day — but I implore you all to get see Inception. It was, hands down, the best movie I've seen in years. And yes, Gallagher, I enjoyed it as much as Ghostbusters.
And now, some links to get you through yet another Monday.
Blues news
- Not much going on for the Blues. If you want, you can read my latest SBNSTL piece on restricted free agency. You don't have to, my feelings won't be hurt. [SBNSTL]
Hockey news
- Andrei Markov is now a Canadian Canadien. [TSN]
- A look at the Devil and the cap. Warning: It's not as fun as a look at the Blackhawks and the cap. [In Lou We Trust]
- It's summer which means two things. One) Major cases of swamp ass. Two) Trade rumors/suggestions. [Canes Country]
- Red Wings coach thinks Mike Modano will be a Red Wing. [ESPN]
- Fight! [Puck Daddy]
Other links
- A burger made out of bacon instead of ground beef. Go on ... [Wired]
- Some animals are cooler than others. Notice how there are more pictures of dogs than cats? I rest my case. [theChive]
- Ever wanted Twitter in pictures? Wish granted. [Twaggies]
- Slinkys are terrible, terrible toys. [The Oatmeal]

It feels like a Muse Monday, no?

nicely done
on the RFA piece. the big sticking point really is the picks you’d have to give up. as much as i’d like bobby ryan, the duck’s not worth $7 milly, two firsts, a second and a third.
That is just absurd, and it reminds me of Scott Stevens.
Fuck that.

nice write up Joe
the draft choices kill it for RFA’s

Good news everyone!
Kovalchuk re-signed with the New Jersey Devils. This doesn’t really affect the Blues, but it’s nice to know that the 50-goal scorer won’t be playing in the West.

and no Kinger vs Booger?
WTF? Even the members are calling foul on that.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
17 years, according to Dmitri (Puck Daddy)
Which would put him around 44 by completion of this deal.
When’s the last time a scorer was worth a damn past 40? Have to imagine these cap # lowering tactics on the 10+ year contracts will be looked at for the next CBA negotiations.

Im hearing.....
2 different contract amounts and lengths……
100 Mill for 17 years or 60 mill for 7 years……
Either way I think the Devils just shot themselves in the foot when it comes to trying to keep other core players around when their contracts come up(ie Parise, Zajac etc.)……
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..."
17 YEARS??
This make the DiPietro deal a few years ago look like a smart move

Wow Stupidest. Contract. Ever.
My GF got a text from ESPN….
17 years at 150 Mill……
Did Lou just suck Kovys cock in that deal too????

Did Lou just suck Kovy’s **** in that deal too?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that Mephistopheles Lamoriello managed to be on the receiving end of the fellatio when all was said and done. That bastard could fall into a tub of shit and come up smelling like a rose — and with a ten-dollar gold piece in his hand — every single time.

And because it's Lamoriello...
…you can bet your sorry ass on the fact that the NHL (Never Hassle Lou) won’t even look at so much as a dotted “i” or a crossed “t” on the terms of the contract.

Al MacInnis played until he was 42.
And he was still worth more than a damn until he got his eye put out.
Shame on you, PCS.

And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I as well.
Spectacular selection, Joseph.
