PrintThe links have returned from a not-relaxing-enough holiday weekend. Hope everyone had a good Fourth (and Fifth). Now let's get back to the world of links.
Blues news
- Carlo Colaiacovo will be back for 2010-11. His new deal is perfect — he's getting paid a fair amount for a short period of time. Hopefully, he's motivated by the short deal to play his ass off to earn a new fat deal, and hopefully by the time the deal is up, the pipeline will have replaced him. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
Hockey news
- Bob Probert died at 45. I was surprised that I was shocked by this news. [ESPN]
- Habs Eyes on the Prize has a story about meeting the now-late Bob Probert. Thankfully, the story of the meeting happened before Probert passed and we don't have a Zombie Probert on the loose. [Habs Eyes on the Prize]
- Quisp from Jewels From the Crown has the best idea for what to do with Ilya Kovachuk. [Jewels From The Crown]
- Ilya Kovalchuk is probably going to sign with the Devils. Maybe. [TSN]
- The Red Wings are really trying to get Mike Modano. This is a guy who admits the game is too fast for him, but hey go nuts Detroit. [ESPN]
- Taylor Hall is now rich so woman officially have one reason to sleep with him. [ESPN]
- Sheldon Souray was put on waivers. He has cleared waivers. [ESPN]
- Jacques Demers, the illiterate former NHL coach and current Canadian Senator, is in the hospital. [TSN]
Other links

- Figure out how many Shaq's you are. [Calculate Your Shaqtion]
- Inflatable swimwear might be the greatest invention ever. [Neat O Rama]
- I can't grow facial hair, and it's probably for the best. I know I'd look like some evil dictator. [PopCrunch]
- From Busch Ice: Donut King needs to consult his lawyer for improper image usage. [Buttersafe]

Heh . . . "Oh Donut King" . . .
that was kinda hilarious, actually.
And I’m 0.75 Shaqs. Had I eaten a raw steak or something last night, I may be 0.77 Shaqs.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.

No Mention of Cam putting in for arbitration?
Guess we’ll have DJ King next year. Cam isn’t that vital of a player and it’ not like his stats are all that good he’s mostly intangibles on the plus side and I can’t see that doing well. Makes you wonder just how much they offered him?
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.
king needs to go.
he’s worthless in today’s NHL, i’m sorry. you don’t need pounding, immobile goons anymore. he does have a sweet condo, though.
i’d pay cam a minimum to be a healthy scratch most nights because i think his intangibles are great and he’s excellent blues PR — loves the team, loves the city, is a hometown boy.
let cam skate around like a cannonball 20 games a season and get into some marathon fights, and he can be very effective. blues fans, myself included, love him. it’d be a tragedy if we kept king, who has cement skates but a lead fish, instead of cam, who gets into more fights, gets hurt less often, has more energy and is just all around a more effective hockey player in today’s NHL.

Don't get me wrong
I don’t want King either. His fist may feel like lead when it hits another player but it breaks like glass. I’d much rather have Cam and wouldn’t be completely broken up having neither. Just saying Cam filing for arbitration doesn’t bode well for the guy.

King > Janssen
… but yeah, it would be nice to have a guy who’s both good at punching and can also figure out which end of the stick is supposed to touch the ice.
well hey now
Since the Blues already signed Winchester, and have brought in the enforcer/hometown boy Janssen, King is the odd-man out. That doesn’t mean he’s “worthless in today’s NHL”, though. Derek Boogaard, for instance, is getting paid nearly two million Sather FunBucks just to fight. Jody Shelley is getting paid over a million dollars to be on the Flyers, a team that already has Carcillo.
The Blues are more than likely going to trade King to someone who is in need of an enforcer and has the cap space.
Just ask a Rangers fan
what they think of the Boogaard signing. It won’t be kind and it will probably feature the name Brashear somewhere in the tirade.

Cam coming back?
Strickland sez:
Blues forward Cam Janssen has agreed to a 1 yr. deal worth $600,000..he will officially sign today.

cam officially signed
1 year, 600,000.
i have a feeling his future beyond this season could be similar to that of tyson nash.
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.
its only a model!

Uh, clearly that isn't a lightsaber battle!
If those were lightsabers, there’d be no blood – the extreme heat instantly melt the ends of the cut blood vessels, so you wouldn’t bleed.
…sorry, this geek’ll shut up…NOW.
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!!!"
I was so excited to read that on twitter
that I threw up my hand and accidentally bashed it against the ceiling. Damn my height.
I'm not sure which video is better...
… but today’s video selection is the best I think we’ve had.

By the way folks,
during yesterday’s open thread the so-called “NSFW” link I posted led to a cartoon character saying, “Made You Look” and NOT to Scandinavian Donkey Porn.
Just wanted to maintain my stellar reputation around here in case any of you thought I actually posted a link containing bestiality. I did not, although some of you wished I had.
Let's go Blues!!!
