PrintYou read that title right. Let the trumpets echo the splendor of the renewed convenience in reaching the upper levels.
Blues News:
- I made it a point to get an answer on the escalator when I went to Scottrade to procure two tickets to the season opener. Yes, Virginia, there is a fully functional escalator. (No link, but it's newsworthy anyhow)
NHL News:
- Vinny Lecavalier is undergoing a minor arthroscopic procedure.
- CCR has a worthwhile piece from Versus concerning three players who will one day be behind the bench as a coach.
- Pension Plan Puppets is embarassing the Toronto Sun like back in '77 when the newspaper got caught fucking its cousin.
Other Stuff:
- Bugs Bunny and Hitler. Wait, what?
- Found: One Bowser, King of the Koopas.
- After witnessing some of the more "interesting" folks in the area during my midday metrolink ride downtown, I can safely bring back People of Public Transit to the links after a 9 month break.
Video:

Prospect Department enjoys him some Amy Lee from Evanescence and sent this in, accordingly.
Open Thread Topic:
If you had the option to punch one person in the face for doing harm (of any sort) to the Blues, who would it be?
For my money, it's Steve Yzerman. Fucker ruined the rest of 1996 for me.
Make your arguments for Bill Laurie and others in the comments. Feel free to include your plans to celebrate the repaired escalator.
Fact: Averagejoe returns for the weekday mayhem of links starting tomorrow. Send him stuff or he...meh, do whatever you want.

I have a number of Loony Tunes from WWII in my video collection. Great morale boost for the nation and our soldiers.
Since my Blues fandom lasts only from the 90’s on…my blood red hatred is for Ass master Lou Lamorillo for the whole Scott Stevens fiasco, Butt pirate Yzerman for obvious reasons, Bill Laurie for being a fucking douche bag, Jack-Off Nick Kyprios for plowing Fuhr, Muther F’n San Jose for the 1st round defeat in ’00, Roman Turek for being Roman Turek, finally Mike Danton for putting a stain on the org that kinda still exists today.
Know who made some badass WW2 cartoons?
Dr. Seuss. Before he was stacking turtles and coloring eggs he was a ww2 propaganda writer He also liked to drink.
“While at Dartmouth, [Seuss] was caught drinking gin with nine friends in his room, violating national Prohibition laws of the time. -wiki
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.
Who would I punch in the face???
While Yzerman, Kypreos and Bill Laurie all all good choices I still harbor a strong hate for the past…..
Enter one Judge Edward Houston………Scott Stevens? Not only would I like to punch him in the face but Id also like to ram a pineapple up his ass sideways…….
While we cant say for sure how things would have gone had we kept him could you imagine a blue line in the 90’s with Stevens, MacInnis and Pronger Doubtful Yzerman even gets to game 7 in 96’………
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..."
And I plan to.....
Celebrate the repaired escalator by…….NEVER RIDING IT AGAIN!!!!!!…..
Stairs for me thank you…..

puched in the face?
might hurt a little, but if i get the chance, i’m playing the bongos, semin style (to mercilessly take a recent links joke), on iron mike keenan. what a tool.
Next in the Nate the Great mystery series: Nate the Great searches for a free-agent forward who doesn't blow dicks.
Judge Edward Houston
is a winner…of a punch in the face. He ruined a possible multiple Stanley Cup winning club.
Yay for first sunday morning back at school
last night we may or may not have gotten my friends evicted from their apartment… look nobody said it was illegal to play beer pong on the roof
Look I'm sure youre a nice person and everything but that Redwings jersey you're wearing makes me want to cave your face in with my fist...it's not you it's me and the fact that you're a fucking Redwings fan
A voice from the not
to long ago past.
Nice of you to drop by RJ

you forgot
that the illegal part was playing beer pong on the neighbor’s roof.
Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.

My punch in the face would go to . . . Kris Draper. For being a complete douche.
And today’s first video is a perfect opportunity for me to point out that The Point is having Way Back Weekend . . . like, right fucking now. I love Way Back Weekends. They should happen WAY more often.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
Way back weekend
is scary. I here songs that are supposed to by waaayyyy back and I think that was when I was in high school, or college. Wasn’t that 5 yrs ago.
Depressing, very very depressing

Yeah, these songs were all 10+ years ago.
I still can’t believe I’ve been out of high school that long.

Pfft... ten years... is that all?
My friend, I graduated from Highland High School (Thornton, CO) before you were even born in Historic Macoupin County.
Yeah, I feel every one of those 49 years sometimes…

Great and all . . .
but I was born in Montgomery County. I just live here. Hah!
Yeah, I know. Too young to be complaining about being old, I guess.

St. Francis Hospital, Litchfield, I'm guessing...
That’s where everyone in my family before me was born. I’m the first Weidler to have been born at CMH in Staunton.

Or perhaps at the Key Largo Club in Scenic Witt?
Assuming it’s still around. I haven’t been to Witt since 1984 or so.
by Paperwork Ninja on Aug 25, 2010 4:28 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm surprised to know anyone else remembered that Witt existed.
I don’t think Key Largo is still around. I’ll probably check tomorrow when I’m at work.
Anyway, B had the correct answer. SFH.

I’m sick of that fucking “History Will Be Made” commercial. And that fucking goal.

ixnay on the Robert Orr hatin
Even though he put the dagger in the Blues in 1970 Bobby Orr was a god to many of us fans. He hung the dayum moon.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
These are all great choices
I’ll add Joel Quenneville. For peddling the line of BS “You’ll never win a Cup with Brett Hull”. Dial back the ego a notch moustache-man. The Brett Hull era was the only time in their history the Blues didn’t struggle to score goals.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. But that's the way to bet. - Damon Runyon
Bout time for the people mover to get fixed
My friend John, his boy and me were just about to get on that death trap when it let go. One of the weirdest sounds I’ve ever heard as it came unspooled. The groaning in the aftermath reminded my of the 4 Screen Drive In Theatre in St. Ann.
Punch in the face? Derek Sanderson for taking Bob Plager’s knee out.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
But the Turk wore the 'Note later in his career, so you'd think he made his peace with Bob at some point?
Besides, Derek Sanderson was just about my favorite non-Blue back in the day, when he was playing for the Bruins. The Turk, Stan Mikita, Ken Dryden and Bernie Parent.

I dunno
The Turk cut several years off Plager’s career with that hatchet job. Iffen it were me I don’t think I could get past that, on my team or not.
Maybe in that epic Blues vs Ranger brawl they got it all sorted out? One question I’d like to ask Bob if I ever run into him at his bar is how he feels about the Turk.

How bout the City of St. Louis, state and feds for taxing the Blues to death?
Ticket tax, city tax, state tax, employment tax, real estate tax, income tax. Carpet tax, brass tax thumb tax………………

Keenan, Kypreos, Judge Houston… all excellent choices, but I have one more to submit.
BasketBill Wal-Mart Boy Laurie.
For a multiplicity of reasons, not the least of which is being a complete douchehat. While Keenan, Kyrpeos, and Houston all did damage to this freanchise, who did more damage to the franchise — financially, competitively, and in terms of the team’s standing in the community — than The Cheater’s Daddy?

Can it be anybody besides Keenan?
Yes. But my vote is still Mike Keenan, hands-down. He did more to tarnish and destroy hockey in Saint Louis than the lockout. Lesson learned? Never give Satan any GM responsibilities.
Keenan's damage to the franchise was repaired pretty quickly...
…the Blues are still paying — financially, cempetitively and in terms of their standing in the community — for what BasketBill did to the franchise.
A Schrutebuck for anyone who can link me to the famous Bill Laurie drunk-ass mug shot.
