I don't know what it says about him, or us, but Washoo thinks this song is perfect for Game Time. Ladies and gents, an ode to Ray Bradbury. The lyrics are profane, fyi.
See you tomorrow?

All Steen has to tell those kids in Winnipeg . . .
is something about having a nose for the puck. Then they’re all good.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
He should tell them not to taunt Happy Fun Backes, too.
Because even though they’re teammates, Alex can’t be held responsible for what happens next.

Actually, Alex Steen should ask Captain Serious to warn the kids.
After all, he taunted Happy Fun Backes. He’s only alive today because David Backes isn’t done punching him yet.

Both solid advice to give to young Canadians.
“David Backes can eat just one Lays potato chip.”

So, the Hockey News is doing their annual predictions for the 2010-2011 seaason....
They reveal one team a day starting with the worst and work their way down to the top teams.
Ladies and Gents, they have gotten to the 7th place team and the Blues have yet to be mentioned. Seems like the Hockey News likes the Blues chances this year. I like to hear that!
linky?
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.
Here you go

Let's go Blues!

In a shameless plug to get you to watch the video...
I will say that the lead singer, while of questionable vocal & songwriting talent, has a FANTASTIC pair o’ titties.
(My iPhone tried to autocorrect “titties” with “torture.” I’m not sure how I feel about that.)

Yeah, that cracked me up, too.
Though I have to say the iPhone is learning profanity faster than the T9 on my old phone.
It was a happy, happy day when that phone FINALLY learned “fuck.” My texting speed instantaneously increased 238%.
It's about the only drawback I have with mine.
It’s too Goddamned smart for me.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Is anyone else looking at the rules changes experiments? I don’t like most of them, but having a hybrid icing call doesn’t sound bad. I would hate to see a 2 on 2 OT. Anyone know when the rules would take effect if they are changed? Seems close to training camps to start switching stuff now.

They said absolutely NO go for THIS season.
I personally like the 10 min OT rule change. Also like the pick your face off opponent.
BTW, worse movie with a hockey reference.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Even the hybrid icing?
I think that is one most agree on, that would be easy to change, would not seem too different to the casual fan, wouldn’t require a lot of getting used to for players and addresses a serious problem (injuries).
Similar arguments for the yellow line in the goal, thinner netting up top, etc.
Doesn't mean they wouldn't get around to it in '11-'12.
Hybrid icing seems like the best bet out of all of them. Though I’ll say that I hate pretty much all of the other ideas they have. I’m not sure I need Two-Headed Cyclops ice with my hockey.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I really like the choosing your face-off opponent
And that wouldn’t take much to implement even this year.
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!!!"
