Darren Helm is a stupid fucker.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
He was RFA, but nobody gave him an offer sheet.
I really thought someone was going to try to poach him, but nobody made the effort.
Bill Armstrong is a good choice for the position...
He’s been the Blues’ Northeast Scout for a while; he’s the guy who found David Perron.
Mike Antonovich (Minnesota Scout) might have been a bigger name, but Armstrong will be fine.

Regarding the video
Anyone else think of Mallrats when seeing it? “Fly fatass fly!”

OK, am I the only one who thinks she looks like the cow being chucked over the castle wall by the catapult in Monty Python’s Holy Grail ??
I fucking spit milk through my nose when I read that.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
For anyone else reading the JR Chat,
who saw this?
Please give your comments on these forward line combinations (LW C RW):
1. Backes McDonald Perron
2. Berglund Oshie Boyes
3. Winchester Steen Crombeen
4. D’Agostini Sobotka Andranov (3rd round pick 2 years ago)
Reserve: Janssen McClement
I would really, really like to see someone give the Asylum a franchise and see what they do with it.
hopefully
he tore them a new asshole
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.

Oy...
I like the idea of Andronov making the team, though. It’d be nice if he was in training camp, but since the Russian season starts early, that’s not likely for this year…

Isn’t this the premise behind the last 30 years of the Maple Leafs’ front office?
You mean The "Couldn't Find Their Ass With Both Hands" Club...

Those "retro" Flames' sweaters aren't half-bad...
I’m a fan of bands (stripes) on the sweaters, for some reason.

I think it was on Puck Daddy or Habs Eyes on the Prize...
Someone said that the Canadiens should have gone with the barber-pole sweaters again for the Winter Classic if only to make hi-def TV viewers scream and clutch their eyes while watching the game. I just worry about the day that the Canadian teams have some kind of tournament to honor Don Cherry. It’d be Bob Uecker Night all over again.
