Monday Links: Seven Heaven Edition

Gallagher was right. It is 2006 all over again. Horrible play coupled with nostalgia nights to give the fans something to cheer about. What's the over/under on Walt's weight gain?

Petroleum Gelatin looks like he's about to murder someone in that picture.

And at times, I wish one of them would TRY that on an opponent.

At least show ya care, dawg!

I don't want to be all doom and gloom

But Norm Sanders’ latest column doesn’t put a good feeling in my tummy…

“Everything is wrong,” Backes told reporters Saturday after the Blues’ fourth loss in a row, a 5-2 setback against the New York Islanders. “It’s not very enjoyable to be here every day.”

Oy…

Here's an article from Norm Sanders

Talking to Joe Mullen

And Caron and Demers had the gall to say that the trade was strictly hockey-related.

by HallPlante on Mar 7, 2011 6:56 PM CST up reply actions

I wonder if Demers was already arranging his way out by then?

I know Jimmy D talks about the tampering with Demers in his book, but I didn’t think to compare dates and see if that was pre- or post-Mullen trade.

I was debating skipping my math class and heading to the game tonight

But after seeing the game Saturday, I’m not to sure. I don’t think its worth it.

Will Walt be bringing.....

donuts for the crowd???

I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

He'll be bringing enough for the crowd...

…but won’t be sharing.

Can't wait for tonight!

well its an “honoring the number 7’s” night…so they’ll probably put in 70% effort rather than the typical 50%

by Holiday86 on Mar 7, 2011 10:30 AM CST reply actions

Unless the coach is Mike Kitchen. In which case, they’ll put in five percent effort. And the coach will claim to be surprised and powerless.

Good News!

Blue Jackets / Blues is the yahoo stream tonight.

Bad news: all this “doughnut” talk has me jonesing for one.

Other stuff: how many people are trying the Bluenatics section?

As far as the ownership goes...

We’re not going to see a Cup run any time soon (barring a 17-game winning streak by the Blues… ha!) until the ownership situation sorts itself out. I don’t know what Summit Distributing has for its bottom line, but I think I understand why they put in the bid. MolsonCoors is looking to become the beer sponsor for the NHL next year. Summit, according to their website, looks to be a big MolsonCoors product distributor. They also carry Stag, PBR, and (the apprently late and lamented) Four Loko. Stag and PBR are the two biggest sellers at Junior Blues games. Both are mother’s milk to Northenders, apparently.

But does Stillman have the cash to sustain a 50-55 mill payroll for years to come?

And to cover any losses, or will ticket prices rise?

Then again, Rick Hendrick was just a Car Dealer owner in Charlotte before he became a widely successful NASCAR owner (Gordon, JJ, Dale JR, etc.)

Thanks for the plug.

This has not been a good blogging week. Between Saturday’s implosion and dipshit Winnipeg fans trying to tell me that “I don’t deserve hockey” and “it’s a Canadian birthright” and nonsense like that, I’ve about just wanted to turn off the game and crawl under the covers.

Your tweets are entertaining as well
