What a Sunday, eh? Rams win, Cardinals win and the Blues win. St. Louis sports are back! Except, you know, the Cards are out of the playoffs, the Rams still are "rebuilding" and the Blues win doesn't count.

Blues news

Ben Bishop to play awesome in the preseason, immediately after the Blues trade for (and sign) a 25-year-old goalie. Couldn't have done this last year, eh Bish? By the way, Blues beat the Avalanche 2-0. [The AP]
Puck Daddy previews the Blues. Nice to see the Ty Conklin stache again. [Puck Daddy]
In case you missed, Brad previewed the Blues season. It's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because he used my Alex Steen joke. [St. Louis Game Time]
The first cut may be the deepest for the Blues. The roster was 51, it's now 37. Not really any surprises on the list. [Morning Skate]
If you go to the Jan. 15 Rivermen game, you could get a Jim Thome bobblehead.[PJ Star]

Hockey news

Ander Eriksson and former Blues Dean McAmmond and Manny Legace and others have been invited to Islanders camp. Dom just can't catch a break. [Lighthouse Hockey]
Jonathan Cheechoo has been dropped by the Stars. How far he has fallen, eh?[Defending Big D]
Mathieu Dandenault is retiring. I had no idea he was still playing. [TSN]
Sergei Samsonov of the Hurricanes was taken off the ice on a stretcher, but he does have feeling in his limbs. [ESPN]

Alex Trebek is awesome. [Ask Men]
I support this message. Don't support a man who names his abs. [America is Retarded.com]
The best bear-related headlines ever written. [Buzzfeed]

Shit, I better show up to that January 15th game in P-Town.

Best. Bobblehead. Ever.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.

Oct. 30 is Pink in the Rink Night..

That’s a title that says “add porno music” not “Help raise money for breast cancer research.”

Was the AP game story written by Strickland?

It’s like all bullet points instead of paragraphs. I mean, how is this a stand-alone paragraph:

Bishop caught a one-timer by Milan Hejduk at the start of the third period.

Maybe the AP guys are in pre-season form too.

Ill see your complaint and raise you one.

Bishop leads Blues to 2-0 win over Avalanche

The Blues killed off five of six power plays.

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.
