These long delays are brutal. I can't wait to watch some hockey tonight.
Blues news
- The Blues, who have been crazy good at home this year, host the Sharks tonight. [CBS Sports]

- Erik Johnson was injured at practice on Wednesday, but the official word is that he's OK. [BND]
- Scott Mellanby has been working with David Perron and Patrik Berglund. Oddly enough, those two have been playing pretty damn good lately. [Blues]

- Sports Illustrated pegs the Blues as the No. 3 team in the league. [Sports Illustrated]
- TSN has the Blues at No. 3. Somehow they dropped a spot, despite not losing a game. [TSN]
- Yahoo!, for some reason, thinks the 7-4-0 Capitals are better than the 6-1-2 Blues. See—this is why I hate power rankings. They are arbitrary and pointless, yet they still piss me off. [Yahoo!]
Hockey news
- John Carlson, the hero of the US Junior team, is dealing with expectations and reality. [Japers' Rink]
