I have confirmation Backes intentionally banked the puck in off the goalie's skate from two sources: 1) Hearsay 2) Rumor

Blues News:

  • Checklist for the game against San Jose: Aggression? Check. Goals? Nahsomuch. [Post-Dispatch]
  • EJ's back, folks. That didn't look like a one game injury when he left the ice against Detroit, but I'll gladly take it. Side Note: Has it really come to the point where we're celebrating an injury that ONLY keeps a player out one game? Fuck. [Post-Dispatch]
  • A view from the enemy blog on last night's game. [Fear The Fin]

NHL News:

Other Stuff:

  • If the Arab League boycott's Spielberg, don't they realize that they won't be able to watch Pinky and the Brain? [UK Guardian]
  • After reading this, I gained quite a bit of respect for Daniel Stern. Big spiders cause me to transform into an irrational 3 year old. [Buzzfeed]

Rush: Now there's a good way to make me forget the loss for about 4 minutes.
