It's time for the wearing of the green, so of course we have two hockey teams dressed in blue tonight with the Blues and Lightning. Add some yellow and you get green. Plus beer. Green beer. Regular colored beer. Whatever. Drink up. We're all Irish.

It's sad that Gallagher is in the hospital in a medically-induced coma after suffering a heart attack. Godspeed, weird guy who molests watermelons with the same name as my fake boss.

It's all random tonight, folks. Just like Jaden Schwartz getting in the lineup. Do we really think a 19-year-old who was hitting on coeds in Colorado a week ago is ready to contribute in the NHL? Ok, I'm sure some of us are. But let's be realistic, guy will need some time to catch up to NHL speed.

No Andy McDonald. Mr. Glass has a bum shoulder and is week to week. No Jason Arnott. He's old.

I think the NHL really screwed up a marketing coup by never getting Tampa to trade Martin St. Louis to St. Louis. The number of jerseys that man would sell is higher than five leprechauns stacked head to toe.

I've never liked corned beef. I think it's mainly the presence of the cabbage.

I hate Lucky Charms cereal. Blech.

I'm wearing a Blues shirt. And a green necklace. So I'm in the spirit.

This is your game day thread. Comment like you're Irish.
