It's 12:19 a.m. and I'm still not sure I believe this season is over. For the first time since I was a teenager, I immersed myself in the Blues and hockey. I never left the Note -- I'm too loyal to do that -- but this year reminded me why I feel in love with hockey and the Blues as a little tyke. It was a great season, one of many I'm sure will come. Let's get to the links.

David Perron played a heckuva game last night. He might be my favorite kid, in non-creepy way. The future is bright for this guy.
The Boss Men will have more today, and later in the week. Game Time isn't going anywhere folks. The offseason has just begun and we are here to help countdown (thanks cold) the days.
