Sunday Links: Weeners and Limericks Edition

So Hartigan was busy last night and had me, thesystm (@dscoul), cover the links for this Sunday. Not really sure what I'm doing here, but we'll see how this goes. Apparently she promised a limerick in the links? Well, here's one sent from J-Mill

There once was a player named Jackman,
who's the Blues #1 most attacked man.
But he sets a great tone,
he's strong in his zone,
and I tell ya the dude has got sack, man!

Blues news:

  • Blues win, score more than 1 goal, life is good. [stltoday]
  • Backes was a beast on the ice, which apparently is good enough to win the "Weener of the Game" award [twitter]

Hockey News:

  • It was almost a super Saturday [NHL]
  • Danny Briere will be out with a concussion that no one knew about [ProHockeyTalk]
  • I'm sure Zetterberg will receive a $20 max fine for this hit. [puckdaddy]
  • Barry Trotz will gladly take the Blackhawk fans money, well Nashville will anyways. [Examiner]

Video I didn't have anything for this, so hartigan wants a Technoviking video. Here you all go

hmm

there is currently a blues player named steen
whos hockey skillz are more than just keen
it a very safe bet
he will go for the net
cos he follows where his nose’s already been

the blues add some flash with Perron
who opponnets must keep an eye on
his hand are the best
d-men he’ll undress
as long as thornton doesnt send him to Azerbaijan

t.j. oshie is learning to score
and to practice instead of just snore
he kicks up a knee
and shouts out with glee
but leaves before she asks him for more

And a harvest of righteousness is grown from the seed of peace planted by peacemakers.

That Jackman limerick is awesome.

The Z-Berg hit I don’t think was intentional or malicious, but buddy has to know that you don’t put your hands on a player as you’re both going to the boards. I don’t know what he was thinking, but that was pretty stupid on his part. Nikitin’s lucky he didn’t break his leg on that play, and Zetterberg has to be more aware of location and what he’s doing.

I’m not going to lie, I was shocked as hell when he got the boarding and misconduct. What was better, though, was watching the YouTube clip and listening to the FSDET crew going “He never touched him! He never touched him!” and then when the alternate angle was shown showing that he did touch him, it changed to “he didn’t touch him much – that wasn’t intentional!”

They and Root Sports are in a contest for biggest homer broadcasters in the league, though Jack Edwards pretty much makes that a threesome of insufferability. Edwards trying to excuse Ference (and then later Cherry trying to say it was the Rangers’ fault) for that hit yesterday was just unreasonable. These guys HAVE to be more aware of where the opponent is and what they’re doing.

What irks me more than Zetterberg not getting discipline (not that I even care, because I think this is the first time he’s done this) is the fact that Subban can apparently elbow and slew-foot at will, and no one does anything to the damn guy. NHL Discipline’s back to being a joke.

agree

I don’t think the ‘hit’ was malicious. It looked to me like he just put his hand on his back, no pushing or arm extension. I saw it as more of an ’I’m here man’ touch.
As for the announcers—not a big deal to me if they’re homers unless it’s a national broadcast.

I agree with you to an extent on broadcasters

I want my guys to be for the Blues and get excited for them. I would actually like to see Panger get a little more “homery”. But when something is so blatant then it is just annoying. I do appreciate the Blues broadcasters being balanced and fair when analyzing players/calls. Except for Bernie. He can continue to be as homerific as he wants.

And in the same span...

…there’s nothing our goalie could have done to stop any goal ever.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Dare I say this in this sacred house, but I don’t think Zetterberg deserves any more disciplinary action from that hit. Nikitin’s position and icing had more to do with it than Zetterberg. It wasn’t malicious for sure.

by NaJaKwa on Jan 22, 2012 12:58 PM CST reply actions  

I think that is a smart opinion

While I’m not particularly high on Zetterberg, I respect him enough to give him the benefit of the doubt on a flukey play where his actual part in the hit is in question.

Honestly though, I half expect him to get a game or two just so they can say they don’t give the Red Wings better treatment than everyone else.

by Novacain on Jan 22, 2012 1:21 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Chaser said on Twitter that Nikitin direct messaged him...

… and told him that he just lost an edge and Zetterberg didn’t push him. Looks then like the Wings got the short end of the stick last night with that, though I understand the refs calling it.

says he was skating hard and going at it pretty good in a practice at the Mills.
No official word, just his observation. Obviously the AS break will give him 2 more weeks also.

Bernie talked to Steen and

he said Steen told him he didn’t “feel normal” yet. Probably means he’s still experiencing symptoms. That means no one knows when.

nope

Said the Blues were getting it done with goaltending (mentioned Halak’s turnaround and the tandem goalie thingy),and commitment to defense. Gave props to Shat and a blanket whole defensive core statement.
