Wednesday links: Don't mess with Roman Polak or his beard edition

I love hockey pictures.  (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

Let's do this.

Blues news

  • Knowing that Roman Polak can't grow a normal beard, something I struggle with daily, makes me think he is even more awesome. Please read for Cam Janssen's quote. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
  • Brad and Gallagher answer five questions about the Blues. The first one is really good. [SB Nation]
  • The Blues are short a T.J. — T.J. Hensick is going to Peoria. Officially. [Blues]
  • Puck Daddy's Justin Bourne says Davis Payne is part of the new guard of coaching in the NHL. Bourne knows first-hand — he played for Davis in Alaska. [Puck Daddy]
  • Carlo Colaiacovo is injured. Leafs' fans feign surprise. [Morning Skate]

Hockey news

  • David Frost, the agent that Mike Danton wanted to kill, is back to teaching kids. Dude is fucking scum. [Puck Daddy]
  • Rational Leaf fans are getting fed up by the media saying Leaf fans are calling Nazem Kadri a bust. PPP doesn't like being told how it feels. [Pension Plan Puppets]
  • Brad Richards looks awkward in pictures, has an uncertain future in Dallas. [Defending Big D]
  • Islanders' forward Kyle Okposo needs some shoulder surgery. Looks like another great year on the Island. [TSN]
  • The Avalanche have signed Luke Walker to an entry level deal. Fun fact: I grew up with a kid named Luke Walker. His middle name was Sky. Honestly. He got into drugs and I haven't from him in years, but I can say I knew Luke Sky Walker. [TSN]
  • Flyers' goaltender Michael Leighton is going to be out at elast a month with a bulging disc in his back. He will return when he can lift Eric Brewer's kids. [TSN]
  • Kris Versteeg's name is now spelled correctly on the Stanley Cup. [Puck Daddy]

While looking for a Roman Polak video, I found this. Ladies and gents: DJ Roman Polak will make your ears bleed.

Here's the real Polak kicking ass.

Huh.
I don’t know what they do where he lives, but I’m going to have to go over there and start training with him.

I think we all need to, Cam. We ALL need to.

Yup, I’m gonna have to make my way over to the old Eastern Bloc one of these days. A couple friends of mine from high school have been on what virtually amounts to a backpacking tour through the whole continent for the last four months now.

I think Roman Polak and Roman Polak should fight it out for the name Roman Polak. Not that I have any doubt the outcome, I just dislike people who make crappy homogeneous european techno.

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.

I look at Polak's beard

and I feel all itchy

Side note, anyone going to Bobby’s Place tonight 6-8 for the KMOX Blues Caravan night?
I want to win something, like tickets, but I think they give away free mugs so I’m all in.

According to the Blues website...

Cam’s going to be at the radio show. He should give out free smashings or something.

Nice

I’m debating whether to take the boys or not. It shouldn’t be to rowdy on a Wed. Also, it’s a good excuse to get close to the players, ‘the boys want your autograph’ Cam.

He will be a good role model

If they eat their vegetables and do their homework they too can someday beat people up for a living.

The center-wing debate, Part II

From that Morning Skate link:

The Blues acknowledged a plan to do some “tinkering” with David Backes at right wing and Andy McDonald at center. But while McDonald has been at center most of camp, Backes has not seen time at right wing. In Tuesday’s practice, McDonald was back at left wing and Backes remained at center.
“We thought that we would take a look at some things,” Payne said, referring to the initial plan. "It would be dependent on how certain guys played and how certain things fit together.
Thoughts, anyone? No matter how comfy McDonald feels on offense at center, I feel a lot better about the all-around game with Backes there. If it turns out Murray and Payne each came to that conclusion…I feel a tad less insane.

Who is Jason Bourne?
•Puck Daddy’s Jason Bourne says Davis Payne is part of the new guard of coaching in the NHL. Bourne knows first-hand — he played for Davis in Alaska.

It’s Justin Bourne, not Jason.

Matt Damon in Bourne Identity/Ultimatum/Etc......

That had to be what he was thinking…..good movie, but I bet Matt Damon never played for Davis Payne.

It boggles my mind that David Frost is still a free man.

Although now that he’s been discovered, I guess it won’t be long until “Jim McCauley” disappears, and “Steve Johnson” shows up at a rink in Portland or somewhere.

Hensick isn't surprising

There was a guy at the Avs game behind us Sunday that asked if we thought he would make the team. When we said no, he replied “Good, cause he sucks and shouldn’t be playing hockey.”

So I went to Bobby's Place

Hubby and boys went. I have a Blues lunchbox that Cam signed. Took a pic of the boys with Cam and the flash didn’t work so it’s blurry. I did get this one though
