A few things today.
LINKS:
- Missed this the other day . . . Robby Fabbri signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Blues recently. But I (and, I do believe, everyone else in the know) will be legitimately stunned if he plays anywhere other than the OHL next season. [Blues]
- Good job, NHL.com. You've put Alex Pietrangelo in your top ten defensemen. We've known this for a while now. Jheil22 has a write-up. [SLGT FanPosts]
- On the other side of the coin . . . here's a column from NHL.com on Brian Elliott, who is ready to take the number one goaltender's job in earnest. Good luck, man. Jake Allen may be ready soon. (S/T to CrossCheckRaise) [NHL.com]
- A big part of many 12-step programs is admitting that you made a mistake. Well, Jori Lehtera did that, and now he's ready to help the Blues instead of leaving them in limbo again. [In The Slot / Lou Korac]
- A deal has been reached to have the 2015 Winter Classic at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. between the Capitals and Blackhawks, teams that totally need to have another Winter Classic before anyone else has a chance at one. Or something. [Washington Post]
- Tracking chips on hockey players? It could happen, especially after the proliferation of statistical analysis. (S/T again to CrossCheckRaise) [Eyes on the Prize]
- The Lightning(s) are next on Puck Daddy's Emoji Preview list. [Puck Daddy]
- Clark Griswold made an appearance at yesterday's Tennessee-Arkansas State game. [Deadspin / Screengrabber]
- This is something my wife and I were NOT going to do after our nuptials. But more power to these folks. [Y! / AP]
- Check this shit out . . . a volcano blowing up in broad daylight. Check out the clouds during the initial shockwave. Fucking insane, dude. (S/T once more to CrossCheckRaise) [Slate]
VIDEO:
Check out this geography lesson done from the International Space Station. This is fucking crazy too. (S/T to DanGNR):
Bad. Ass.
So, hey, all my groomsmen seem to be sending links and videos, but none of you others are. You can change that for tomorrow's Open Bar:
