Blues News:

  • Canned food drive for Joplin this Wednesday, June 1. [Blues]

Hockey News:

  • IKEA has a very good breakfast for $2 and delicious coffee. The chain is also building a new store in Winnipeg because the Peg can sustain Canada's future largest IKEA store. All this is supposed to be an important indication that the city can support an NHL team. [National Post]
  • Pretty sure we don't need a guide to NHL changes for Jets fan's here, but it's good to be retrospective of the last 15 years. [Down Goes Brown]

  • Ouch. Video of the puck hitting Steven Stamkos' nose. [Puck Daddy]

Other Stuff:

  • "Oh Kaner. We take a lot of shit for giving you shit, but you keep giving us shit to give you shit for." Super old article that Donut King submitted ages ago, there are probably 10 more of these incidents now. [Deadspin]
