I guess my wi-fi connection is just like me: we both have a hard time functioning at 4:30 in the morning.

Nevertheless, pull up a stool and let this old time-y saloon barkeep take your order.

...what's that? A Morning Link? Well we're out of gin, is it okay if I make it with vodka?

  • As you know, Jay Bouwmeester had to miss the game, ending his streak of consecutive games played at 737, which was the longest streak in professional sports as well as the 5th longest in NHL history. [Puck Daddy]
  • And since I couldn't get links up yesterday...the Blues beat the Senators on Saturday afternoon 3-2. [Belleville News-Democrat]

  • Our old buddy David Perron led Edmonton in goals last season. Now, the desperate Oilers are shopping Frenchie around as trade bait for "a top center." Tell you what, MacT, we'll swap Perron for Paajarvi again, straight up, sound good? Because that's about as close to a "top center" you're going to get. [Pro Hockey Talk]

  • A guy for the New York football Giants made a crazy catch for a touchdown last night, and the Internet went insane. Many called it "the greatest catch in the history of football."
