What a shitty Wednesday. Arrived an hour early for a football game I was covering. The team I cover lost making kids and grown men cry. I had to drive to freaking Iowa to get WiFi and, oh, I got pulled over for doing 35 in a 30 -- even though I though the speed limit was 45. Then the WiFi wouldn't work. Sigh. You know what can make things better? Blues hockey.

After getting a ticket tonight, there is only video that sums up how I feel: (Language NSFW)
Note: If you're a cop or friends of a cop, please know I'm just kidding. Another video after the jump.
Maybe, maybe the Blues can play like this tonight.
