Normally, Saturday nights are reserved for drinking and Blues hockey. I'll have to adjust the clocks to get in the right frame of mind.
Blues News:

- Nothing like hockey at 3PM on a Saturday. Blues vs. Kings

KesselsMaple Leafs tonight. I imagine the Bruins will have a gift basket waiting for their former forward. - You might have seen TSN's 100 reasons to love the Canadiens. And in case you missed it, here's Stanley Cup of Chowder's 85-point rebuttal.

Video:
Brad (not Brad Lee), one of our fans from the southern part of the country, passes along a video appropriate enough after Houston receives a record-setting early snowfall. The $64,000 question here is: Did he hang on to his crappy Dobbs Ice Scraper Giveaway from the 90s?
Now You're A Man
If running up a hill with a beer in hand isn't manly, I don't know what is.
