Hockey news

  • Pretty much missing the whole point, the KHL president has offered Ilya Kovalchuk a 17-year deal ... to any team. [Puck Daddy]
  • Like everyone involved with hockey, the Devils owner hopes this Kovalchuk thing is resolved quickly. [TSN]
  • (Hat tip: John) Rick Wamsley is back in the NHL. The former Blues assistant has joined the Senators staff. [TSN]
  • Having fixed the Panthers, Dale Tallon is out golfing. Wait, Florida still sucks? Huh. [Litter Box Cats]
  • Denis Grebeshkov is leaving the NHL for the KHL. I suspect a lot of players without deals are looking at this route. [TSN]
  • Ben Eager has a new deal for the Thrashers, avoiding arbitration. [TSN]
  • The Ducks and Cam Fowler, a 2010 first-round pick, have agreed to terms. [ESPN]

SDR

As a recently (think, 4th of July) transplant from DC to St Louis, I must admit two things: I don’t know who DJ King is and Stefan Della Rovere is a really good pick up. He is strong and has heart, and from everything I know of the Blues’ history, that’s a good fit!

I don’t know if heart is right, tenacity certainly.

That "fattiest foods" article is the epitome of lazy pseudo-journalism.

Okay, we gotta fill out a list. First, let’s make sure all the fast-food chains get into our list, no matter that most of ‘em don’t have any deep-rooted connection to the state in question.

Then, let’s fill in a bunch of gaps with stuff that Adam Richman ate.

Crap, we still have some spots states left over. Okay, time to make up stuff. Texas? Ummm, how about a corn dog? Cow testicles are pretty gross, and the Rocky Mountains run through Montana – score! Shit, Idaho is still empty. You bastards are gonna get salad dressing, because I have a picture of a potato.

Yeah, Campbell’s a good goalie prospect… but predicting that he may be “the best goalie in franchise history” for a franchise that’s had Gump Worsley, Cesare Maniago, Ed Belfour and Turco?

Where you at? I watch the Blues on DTV with the Center Ice package at home or down at the local Romano’s pizzeria in Redlands. We used to watch the games out back on the patio there until some cretin stole the damn plasma. Now they usually give us the back room all to ourselves for hockey games.

I feel like MO & IL got ripped off.

“Oh, yeah, everyone knows Chicago’s deep dish pizza! Let’s do THAT.” Yeah, well, to that I say have a horseshoe:

For those who don’t know what the hell that thing is, sayth Wikipedia:


The horseshoe sandwich originated in Springfield, Illinois. This open-faced sandwich begins with thick-sliced toasted bread, and most often hamburger patties, or ham. Other meats used commonly are deep fried pork tenderloin, grilled or fried chicken breast, and fried fish filets. There is also a “breakfast” horseshoe that uses eggs and hash browns. The meat is topped with french fries and smothered with a “secret” cheese sauce. The cheese sauce varies from chef to chef, allowing each cook to create a signature dish, but common ingredients are eggs, beer, butter, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.

That right there is a heart attack on a plate.

went to school in Jacksonville, IL

and there was an 24 hour diner that had awesome horseshoes.. i accredit my gaining of the freshman 25 to that dish right there.

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.

If we actually had decent food like that down here, I would have put on weight instead of lost it.

College food sucked… too many Spaghetti-os. I think that I made up for it after I turned 21, graduated, and moved out.

Judging from the beer in my fridge, I more than made up for it.

and today we'll pay tribute to Biz Nasty

I’ve always been fascinated by crazy people and homeless. For some odd reason I feel compelled to talk to them and take their pics.

Meet Joe and BobBo, they live by the water tanks in town here. They used to live in the local Jenny Davis Park but ESRI (GPS mapping software giant) is right next door and buying up all the land around there so the bums got evicted over to the tanks where there is no grass to sleep off the Smirnoff’s. Camp (home) is in the background. A group photo was NOT a good idea they said, I’m sure a few would kick out positive on a 28s and 29s NCIS search. BoBo is some kind of mutt cross, definitely some rat terrier in him. Joe took him to a gopher hole and said “sic em” and the little fucker started excavating half the hillside. I wanna borrow BoBo since my garden tiller is broke.
