To get the second half kicked off right for the Blues, let's take a moment and truly appreciate how they perform a high-risk occupation on a big sheet of ice by attempting to get to our own jobs on a similar sheet of ice.
I've heard of worse methods to show appreciation for our boys in blue.
Hopefully you didn't fall on your ass on the way to/from the office today.

- Naturally, the Avalanche are in town tonight with the weather the way it is. [Post-Dispatch]

Win. For the sake of my sanity, please start the 2nd half off with a win.
