1. Run around and hit people.
2. Stick up for teammates.
3. Don't take (too many) dumb penalties.
4. Give the Blues a good father-son story for the media and fans.
He also managed to do a couple other things along the way like score an unlikely hat trick against the Dallas team that let him be claimed off waivers back in late 2008 and becoming a role model and spokesman for people with diabetes.
He became just the latest casualty of an ever-improving Blues team. The fact is that because of the increasing number of talented players in the lineup, there just isn't much room for muckers and grinders like Crombeen. That said, I expect him to be highly motivated to prove his worth in Tampa - they'll surely get exactly what they were hoping for in the up-beat, high-intensity Crombeen.
But at Game Time the trade of a guy like Crombeen hits deeper. We lost a player we liked to root for, but maybe more importantly, we lost a bunch of easy jokes. The days of The Teej, The Beej and the Eeej are long gone. The celebrity lookalike photos of Crombeen next to Lee Harvey Oswald are over. But worst of all, the long-running joke in our paper, the BJ Crombeen Joke of the Day, is no more.
Rather than let them slowly slip into oblivion, after the jump are many of our favorite non-subtle BJ Crombeen Jokes of the Day.
After many months of trying to make ends meet, Jordan Tootoo and his wife decided that the only way they were going to get any extra cash was to have the wife start hooking.

"I made $200 and 50 cents giving BJs," she replied.
"That's great!" said Tootoo. "But who gave you the 50 cents?"
"Everybody!" replied the wife.

In a small cathedral a janitor was cleaning the pews between services when he was approached by the minister. He asked the janitor, "Could you go into the confessional and listen to confessions for me? I really have to go to the bathroom and the Widow McGee is coming. She tends to go on but never really does anything worthy of serious repentance, so when she's done just give her 10 Hail Marys and I'll be right back."
Being the helpful sort, the janitor agreed. Just as expected the Widow McGee came into the booth and started her confession. "Oh Father, I have done the unforgivable. I have given into carnal thoughts and gave a man a BJ."
Stunned, the janitor had no idea how to handle this. Surely 10 Hail Marys would not do. So, in desperation, he peered his head out of the confessional and asked an altar boy, "Son, what does the minister give for a BJ?"
The altar boy replied, "Two Snickers bars and a Coke."

Joe Thornton was sent to jail over some tax problems and, to his horror, was put in a cell with a giant, greasy biker.
That night the biker announced menacingly, "I want to have some sex. You wanna be the husband or the wife?"

Luc Robitaille and his wife dated for many years before marrying. Through that whole time, he could never get her to give him a BJ. Once they got married, he thought he could get her to start, yet she always refused. On their anniversary one year, he implored her, but she still said no, explaining, "I can't. You'll never look at me the same way again. You will never respect me again."
On their tenth anniversary, he tried again, but was rebuffed with, "No, dear, you'll never look at me the same way. You'll never respect me."
On their 15th anniversary, their 20th, their 25th; always the same question, always the same answer, "No, dear, you'll never look at me the same way. You'll never respect me."
Finally, on their 30th wedding anniversary, Robitaille tried yet again. This time, his wife surprisingly agreed.
"It's been a long time we've been together and you've always treated me with love and respect," she said, "It's time for a special night."
She gave him a BJ and it was everything he'd hoped. As they lay in the bed recovering, the house phone rang. After a few seconds, it was obvious that the answering machine was not going to pick it up. Robitaille finally looked at his wife and said, "Would you please go get the phone you cocksucker?"

"Just pour them," answered Tootoo.

The bartender responded, "Hey that’s great, have another on the house."
To which Tootoo replied, "No thanks. If seven shots don’t kill the taste, one more won’t help."
