Blues Silent During NHL Draft Round One; Top 11 List
So Doug Armstrong was one of the general managers with multiple second round picks that didn't turn them into a player or a first round selection. A little bit of a surprise. But at least the Blues didn't trade for five years of Brian Campbell making $7 million a year like Florida did. Also, the Blues are guaranteed not to fuck up a first round pick this year, which is kind of nice.
It was interesting when the draft coverage would scan the floor and you'd see the Blues table full of older guys in suits. They'd be sitting around, talking. The phone there on the table. But they didn't make the coverage that often. Maybe the TV cameras missed them on the phone. Maybe John Davidson and Doug Armstrong were on that thing all night. What might they have said?

Hope you've got the GM Translator up and running, Brad...
…I know those things are finicky (damn Canadian-made products). Word on the street is Tallon’s is jammed on a loop just going “Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…” over and over again in an incrementally more frantic and strained voice.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

…of Doug Wilson that Cliff Fletcher has in his briefcase? I only caught a glimpse; I’m not sure whether I saw three dead hookers, or only two."
OMG
9. “Honey, calm down. Get the black remote and find the button in the upper right called ‘source.’ Push that. Find HDMI2. Now turn the DVD player on. Ok, find the skinny remote…”
This sounded exactly like me on the phone yesterday trying to explain to Bryce how to watch a movie while I was at work.
