BLUES NEWS:
- The day started with news that Martin Brodeur was to officially retire on Thursday and join the Blues front office for the remainder of the season. [SLGT]
- And then the team thanked him in the only way the Blues know how . . . by riding coattails. #GoodRideCowboy [SLGT FanShots]
- Then, a bit of an interesting trade . . . the Penguins send Marcel Goc to the Blues in exchange for Maxim Lapierre. This seems a bit of a "meh" move, except when you consider Goc is . . . well, tangibly better. [SLGT]
- In the only way we know how . . . SLGT bids adieu to Lappy. [Twitter / @StLouisGameTime]
- I'm not on links duty the next few days so . . . GO SEE ROBB AND COMPANY ON SUNDAY IF YOU'RE IN THE D.C. AREA. DO IT. [SLGT FanPosts]

- Bemidji State goes FUCK ALL Y'ALL on the rest of Minnesota, UMass Lowell is slipping and Penn State is getting ALL the Corsi's in this week's NCAA Hockey 101 by Lambert. [Puck Daddy]
- Zach Parise has had a very silly year, and now he's got dental work to add to it. [Deadspin]
- Alexander Semin is apparently not in his coach's good graces. [The News-Observer]
- Radek Dvorak is done. That leaves more beer for us. [Puck Daddy]
OTHER SHIT:
