Friday Links: Exposure on premium cable by association edition

by Poor College Student on Dec 16, 2011 8:00 AM CST

Anybody else get more than a little nervous during the late third period segment which saw bruising hits by Backes and Oshie? It wasn't the hits themselves that got me nervous, but rather the next shift that saw David Perron streak down the near side boards. All I saw happening was a retaliatory clobbering. Damn, I'm pessimistic.

And hey, even though it's just because they were following the Rangers, HBO might have a couple of frames with the Blues in them. It's all about exposure, people.

Blues News:

Blues win. You see, I expected this win, so I'm not going to use an exclamation point as if it was a surprise. [Post Dispatch]
Blueshirt Banter offers a concise and accurate breakdown: Their defense didn't play as well as they needed to to stop the Blues' forwards. Indeed. [Blueshirt Banter]

NHL News:

He shit in a guys glove. Now that's retaliation. [Puck Daddy]
Chris Pronger is out for the season. If Post-Concussion Syndrom is severe enough to already rule him out for the rest of the year and playoffs, I fully expect Pronger has played his last game. Poor College Student, armchair diagnostician. [Broad Street Hockey]
Ilya Bryzgalov and the spinoffs that need to happen. [Puck Daddy]
Accurate box scores of games that occurred last night. [TSN]

Other Stuff:

Betrayals throughout history. Not featured: Bill Laurie. [All That is Interesting]
Hey. Hey. HEY! Click this one. DANGAH ZONE! [Warming Glow]

Video:

I don't know where Carnie finds these things, but I'm afraid of what I might learn if I ask. Either way, I enjoyed the hell out of this.

I know I shouldn't feel this way but....

…the way they’ve been playing lately I expect the Blues to win EVERY game.

Seriously, I feel better about this team right now than ANY I’ve followed except maybe the 90-91 squad. When this team is on its game there isn’t another team in the league that would consistently beat them in a best of seven series. The main thing I worry about is the team losing its focus and motivation. Again.

Agree.

I expect them to win each night. All is good… except for the Chicago game. I’m hoping they get reminded about that every day.

We were talking about the Rangers lack of defense at the bar last night. I’m pretty sure there was a GUFFAW! or two at how poorly they played. What happened? How are they 4th in the East? My dog could hang on to the puck better than that!
But then Steen was credited for that ridiculous goal, and we promptly forgot about the Rangers defence and focused on Trivia Night and trying to remember all 7 of Jarome Iginla’s names.

I don't know why the Rangers' defense crew played so weakly.

It sounded like they couldn’t keep the Blues from breaking through at all with the exception of the pressure that gave them a goal.

I call BS on Doc tossing a no no on acid

A bunch if us old hippies discussed this many years ago. If the acid was even mild you’re world is so altered there is no way you could even play catch, let alone keep it together for 2+ hours of no hit ball. I know a goalie who dropped a tab of acid before a game and we got shelled. Half way through the game he started admiring the scoreboard. He didn’t tell anyone and I only figured it out when I saw his eyes asked WTF was going with the scoreboard. I later asked him what the puck looked like and he said the trails were awesome.

ok is the rea point to close captioning on hockey?

took a half day so im in a restaraunt bar for lunch and watching hockey highlights then a rebroadcast.

things i actually saw typed

“he shoots and scores. rebound”

“passes it. guy shoots. the other guy scores.”

ummm just stop.. especially during highlights which is a goal every 3 seconds with a save every once in a while and one hit every other minute thrown in for seasoning.

You know the other team's mascot was goading Milbury on

Miming his way from “Milbury’s mother is a graceless clod” to “Milbury can’t even make a 7th-grader pipe down.”

He's a minor hockey team mascot.

One of my best memories with my Grandma, making elderberry jelly and wine.
I have the huge crock she made wines in. I think it weighs about 100 lbs.

My first time drinkine elderberry wine got me in trouble

We always had Welches grape juice in the fridge. One day before school I went to fill my bike bottle up and couldn’t find the grape juice, Finally I found it in another unmarked bottle and off I went. Turned out that unmarked bottle was some elderberry wine our neighbor had made and given to my mom. I drank about half that bottle at school and started stumbling around the playground at recess. The teacher took me to the nurse where they figured out why I was slurring my words. Mom had to come get me at school. She wasn’t mad at me for getting in trouble at school, she was mad I was clipping her elderberrry stash.

Well,,,

git busy ;). What’s the crock made out of? I’m trying to remember what our neighbor Shirley used. They were hillbillies from Arkansas and made a lot of good stuff like that. The grandma chewed tobaccy too, that always cracked me up seeing the brown juice running down her chin.
