Saturday Afternoon Delight Links

 We had ourselves an early morning post (see below), so you get links in the afternoon - just like Ron Burgundy likes it!

• rminton618 is optimistic about the Blues, and here's why: [SLGT]
• ANTI-ANALYTICS PEOPLE: "Welp, good thing we don't play in the Corsi Hockey League!" ...well, if we did, here would be the 2013-14 awards for each team: [Second City Hockey]
• James Reimer re-signed for the Maple Leafs to be the unfair whipping boy in Toronto, even though he could've very easily started in Winnipeg. Canada makes less & less sense every day. 2 years, $4.6mill [Maple Leafs]
• Turns out that Vladimir Sobotka won't be alone in heading the KHL this year - former Hab Martin St. Pierre will be hoping the ocean too, although that's not too surprising since he's only played 1 NHL game since 2010 (against us, BTW). [Pro Hockey Talk]
• Ugly Hockey Christmas Sweaters - get your Ugly Christmas Sweater Party plans together, fellow white people! [Puck Daddy]

• The marching band for THE.........Ohio State University is in trouble after a report came out about...uhh...them being college students? I've spent most of my life among theatre & band people, so trust me when I say that this is far from the first time I've heard a girl call herself "Jewoobs." [Deadspin]
• Which famous sportscasters/announcers/asshole talking heads would be which character from The Simpsons? I don't think it gets better than Skip Bayless as Mr. Burns. [Awful Announcing]
• Who invented the high five? Apparently this guy. I could've sworn it was a Da Vinci creation. [Priceonomics]

Another hockey-related Science Saturday: how skating works IN SLOW-MO! Sticktap to CrossCheckRaise.

This is fucking adorable. Sticktap to RealBadRobot (I'm saving my synonyms for the season).

 Send me things - they'll be up in the actual morning tomorrow!
