PrintHello, friends. It's been a while. My vacation is up and shortly after this is posted, I'll be heading north to America's Hometown. To say I'm excited would be a lie. Anyway, thanks to Poor College Student for doing the links and let's get to some stuff you can click.
Blues news
- From Alessandro: Some news on Vladimir Tarasenko. The young Russian will be staying in Russia for 2010-11. [Russian Prospect]
- Get to know Corey Hirsch, the Blues' new goalie coach. [Blues]
- In case you missed it, Dr. Jerome Gilden, the only team doctor the Blues have ever had, passed away. [Blues]
Hockey news
- Patrick Kane likes "Twilight." I swear, this man will keep bloggers in business for his entire career. He's a goldmine, Jerry. [SB Nation]

- Tomas Kaberle may stay in Toronto. Or not. I don't care. [TSN]
- Peter Forsberg is probably not coming back. [TSN]

Video
At the GTGT, Chris Gift requested a 3 Stooges video. PCS had one too many Schlitzeses, thus couldn't be expected to post the video. I think -- THINK -- this is the one he wanted. If it's not, let me know. But hey, it's the Stooges, you can't go wrong.
Toodles.

Vladimir Tarasenko, it’s too bad he’s staying in Russia. Being in the AHL would be much better for his development. He would play with/against less skilled players, but he would get used to the size and pace of the North American game.

What are the odds he actually ever shows up over here?

Oh, I hope they're high.
I really want to see him in action – I think he’ll be a good fit with our apparent team philosophy of “let’s piss off opponents so much they complain about us.” He’s like a tiny little tank.

Vlad the Tank will be in STL next year.
1) Had 2 years left on his contract.
2) Got drafted by the blues.
3) Tried to buy out his contract this year and come over but couldn’t do it this year.
4) Ended up signing a NEW contract. New contract is for ONE year, is worse less money, and VOIDS the previous one.
If you read about him you will see news of him signing a new KHL contract and its an extension blah blah but its not, its a precursor to him coming over here next year and not him prolonging his stay in Russia.
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.
I agree, he should be in America next year. While the Blues don’t have a bunch of Russians already playing for the team, I think the whole “Russian not coming over” thing is over blown, at least for legit 1st rounders. The KHL will steal crappier players, and old players on the way down, but the NHL will still get the youth. And Tarasenko has shown no reason why anyone would think he wouldn’t want to go to the NHL.

In my parents' house, this 3 Stooges short is the most quoted piece of media.
Especially the “That’s not a vernacular” line.

"Disorder in the Court", isn't it?
That is the BEST Stooges short, IMO…I always stop what I’m doing when it comes on.
What about when they're firemen?
or delivering ice on them steep azz steps?

I love the entire clip...
… but Curly’s non-verbal acting in the first ten seconds are priceless- taking a step forward and preparing himself for the witness box.
I wonder if Scott Stevens was awarded to New Jersey way back when because the Blues kept referring to Judge Houston as “Judgey Wudgey”
Notice Curly’s cane is still in the bailiff’s pocket when Moe and Larry pick Curly up from the floor.
“Thanks Courtey, you’re a pal.”

For the Blackhawks' next big shirt sale:
“Team Kaner” and “Team Serious.”
Anyone willing to guess on the likelihood that these happen?
Also, the women in my office are all agog about Twilight. The ones who are over 35 are giving off the creepy mom sensation every time they talk about Twilight. I sit next to a woman who is proud of being part of Team Edward and proud enough of her lousy driving that her car proclaims that she drives like a Cullen.
This just gives me more reason to hate the Blackhawks.

That completely scares the shit out of me.
I get wigged when my students talk about Twilight – I can’t imagine a middle aged woman reading it and liking it. reading it to see what her kids are reading, sure. LIKING it?? Hell no.

Case in point... opening night for "New Moon"
Said fellow office worker dragged her daughter to the midnight showing. Her daughter didn’t want to go, especially not to the midnight show and especially not with her mom. I’m pretty sure if you listened just right, you could hear her eyes rolling from five miles away.

Dude
My sister is SO into it that it’s scary.
I have bought her a tshirt for her birthday … it says “And then Buffy slayed Edward. The End”. LOL Guaranteed to piss her off…

If this was a bunch of middle-aged guys going nuts over two teenage chicks...
…one of those 35-year-old Twilight groupies would be calling the police.

How do you replace a guy who's been with the Blues for so long?
Hopefully he’ll be able to stay just as long.

He hasn’t been the team doctor since 99. He was with us a hell of a long time though so paying respect is still necessary. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/obituaries/article_e80d89cb-fa2d-582d-b700-78b40f8913c9.html

Why is Patrick Kane such a titanic douchenozzle?
I mean, it’s bad enough that he beats on cab drivers over twenty friggin’ cents, that he tells the world on national TV that he’s gonna go out after winning the Cup and make a complete idiot of himself, and that he plays for the NHL’s version of the Florida Marlins… but a Twilight fan on top of it?
Christ.

Yup.
But hey, it’s the Stooges, you can’t go wrong.
Couldn’t be more right.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I musta been maybe 5 or 6
when dad took me to the old barn to see the 3 Stooges. There were really old then and it was Larry, Moe and Joe Derita. I wanted to see Curly soooooo bad and about cried when dad told me Curly had passed away years earlier.

There's a certain rite of passage...
… between the exuberance of childhood, when the Stooges are just a group of wacky real-life cartoon characters, and the sobering day when you learn just how the years of physical comedy took its final toll on all of them.
