While it's important to set an firm example on what the NHL is trying to eliminate, which is thoroughly explained in Shanahan's video, 3 games for a player with a clean record is confounding. [Puck Daddy]
It's hard to imagine that the Blues 0-2-1 stretch is their longest without a win. The team is not in panic mode, however. [P-D]
Hulsizer missed the deadline to buy the Blues, but is there a chance that he can still close the deal before Tom Stillman picks up the tab? [P-D]

I can't decide if that video was really awesome or incredibly annoying.

Since they went with MW3 over Arkham City and dissed Felicia Day, I’ll go with the later.

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

If you couldn't tell, they're not being serious with their choices.

It’s making fun of bros. “MODERN WARFARE AND MADDEN AAAAAHHHHH…”

Kent Huskins cares. Do you?

Fundraising.

So I remember people starting a “keep albert in st louis fundraiser.” Something along those lines. Can we use that money to go for a better cause? Like funding a real owner?

Rule 78.5 And A Half:

All rules go out the window if the play in question occurs during a game including the St. Louis Blues franchise. All ruling shall go against said franchise.
