Tuesday Links: Sandbaggin' Brewer Edition

Sure are a lot of stories in my Google news docket talkin' about some great defenseman named Eric Brewer. Did he ever play for the Blues? You'd think I'd remember somebody this great.

  • Derek Boogaard died a few days ago, so enough time has passed for people to start soapboxing about head injuries even harder than they were before. [LA Times]
  • It's no secret that the NHL has been clumsy and unfair in regards to the Atlanta situation. Talks continue and disappointment mounts. Tell us, Cox. [Toronto Sun]
  • The Canucks believe that they're not choke artists anymore. Well, that's easy to say when you're playing against bigger choke artists. [The Canadian Press]
  • Since the Predators are a reputable franchise all of a sudden, they should be able to re-sign their star beard, Shea Weber, and land some pieces to spice up their offense. [USA Today]
