Sunday Links: Weeners and Limericks Edition

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

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.

We play PIT on Tues, do we want them to win today so they aren’t real pissed or hungry?

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.

and Peter Angelo some love. Come on guys, get it right.

Are in the Central. We better get some brownie points for Strength of schedule. I’m tired of looking at the Coyotes in the third seed
