PrintFirst David Perron signs one, now Erik Johnson one. Two-year deals are en vogue.
Blues news
- The Blues are taking a chance on Erik Johnson with his two-year deal. If he blows up like a No. 1 overall pick should, he will get pretty pricey in two years. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
- Former Blues d-man Todd Reirden is now an assistant in Pittsburgh. [BG News Sports Blog]
Hockey news
- Antti Niemi is gone, Marty Turco is in. Chicago gives up a young goalie for an old goalie who is past his prime. Another shrewd move in Chicago. [ESPN]
- Hawks fans react. [Second City Hockey]
- Niemi probably is not going to San Jose. [Fear The Fin]
- Former Blue Glen Metropolit is going to Switzerland. [TSN]
- I'm no expert, but I do know that Andy Sutton is going to Anaheim next season. [TSN]
- ILWT covers the Kovalchuk story with a lot of links.[In Lou We Trust]
- Like Emmitt Smith in Arizona, we're all going to have to agree to pretend that Mike Modano is not going to play in Detroit, even though he's agreed to suit up for the Wings. [TSN]
Other links
- Keanu Reeves, the greatest living actor, has inspired photoshoppers across the internet. [Uproxx]
- The person who wrote a detailed description of the classic song "Regulate" by Warren G and Nate Dogg, deserves some kind of medal. So awesome. Mount up. [Wikipedia]
- So. Many. Pizzas. [Comedy.com]

Carnie passes along a video that has been making the rounds like crazy lately. This dude just wants everyone to be aware that they be rapin' everybody.
Since we've seen the original, how about a little re-mix.
That's it from your links brigade. Maybe the Media Madness will return, but who knows? Who really knows.

Ok so Ive got to vent here a bit....
Im now convinced theres not a single smart person in Chicago or the surrounding area…….
First theyre under the delusion that a repeat is a foregone conclusion….While yes they have a good core(as much as I hate to admit that)…thats only part of the puzzle…Look at the SCF teams from the past hell…10 years…How many have dumped a full THIRD of their roster??? NONE!!! They lose a player or 2 but not that many that make a difference…..While you still may be good your under the influence of some pretty serious drugs and/or alcohol if you think youre just gonna waltz away with the prize again next year…..
Second…..Anyone whos ever really watched a game knows TURCO SUCKS!!!! To be under the delusion that Turco is an upgrade over Nieme is a full blown retard…and as RDJ said…“You never go full retard!!!”…Even the Fuck Detroit fans know this was a stupid move…..the first time Turco implodes youre fucked and I think they just dont want to admit it…….
And last…to the crys about the Hard Salary Cap……I dont see other teams having problems keeping their “Homegrown” talent……I dont see players playing musical chairs year after year….I just see your dumbass ex-GM grossly overpaying to keep his core together then grossly overpaying HossFuck and SoupDefence……I see plenty of examples of teams keeping their players in the fold and still having money to make adjustments here and there….Take what weve done…..EJ and Perron both sign 2 year deals instead of long term deals…that way they get a chance to perform for the big bucks and we still get to hold onto their rights after the 2 year deals expire…….Had their dumbass ex-GM been a little more hardnosed and not delved out the huge long term deals to Cap’n PigNose, 50 Cent, and Duncan Donuts, the current GM might not have had to use a stick of Dynamite to get under the cap……..
Bottom line is Im sooo fucking tired of listening to them whine on how its not fair they had to tear the team apart ala the Florida Marlins and how its just the league picking on them…..Kinda like the dumbass Devil fans whining about the Kovy deal…….SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DID IT TO YOURSELVES!!!!!!
Fuck Now I feel a little better…….now I just want to punch a Hawks fan in the mouth and shove my foot up a Detwat fans ass……..
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

Yea, whining about the Cap is iron at it’s finest. The cap is the only reason they were competative, they’re still losing money so they couldn’t possibly spend to the extent of Toronto, Montreal, NYR, or Detroit. Just don’t be stupid about it and you can hold a core together. Not failing at cap management and having to take a 5 mill hit the next season.
STFU Blackhawks. Stop bitching. Thanks.

Understandable, really...
theyre under the delusion that a repeat is a foregone conclusion…
And why shouldn’t it be? After all, it’s happened every year that they’ve been fans.
In a Facebook argument, a Hawks fan I know reffered to him as...
“this Turdo guy.”
Surprised? No, I am not.

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.
You
