Sunday Links: Kicking it old school

Blues News:

• Blues started slowly but came around in time to beat the Blue Jackets last night. Scott Upshall had a pretty GWG and an ebullient post goal 'celly.' Allen made some big saves.  Shatty kept his point streak alive. Stastny dominated the circle. Tarasenko had a goal and got a little testy with Ryan Johansen after Johansen appeared to get a little too much knee-on-knee contact after a hit...it was a nice meal with all the fixings for all involved. Well, on our end anyway. HullandOats85 gets the recap juices flowing. [STLGT] 
  
• Speaking of Stastny in the circle, Hildy takes a closer look. [STLGT]
  
• There was a lot of talk about Scott Upshall using Steen's stick tonight.  After using the same stick for years, he gave Steen's a try.  Steen uses a yellow gauze-like tape near the butt end, apparently with the name "Yoda" on it.  There was also a lot of talk about this:

  Pietrangelo on if Upshall has best celly: "He has so many celebrations, so it doesn't really count. That was a good one tonight." #stlblues

  A lot of talk about Upshall's goal celebration afterwards. "I was fired up," he said. "I like scoring. I used to do a lot of it." #stlblues

• Speaking of the "celly.'

  Yeah @supshall9, we were pretty pumped, too! #stlblues

Hockey News:

• 11 other games last night.  The lowly lads from Edmonton beat the Penguins team that we couldn't beat the other night, the struggling Preds got stuffed by Buffalo and Dallas...won...again... [NHL]
  
• One. Game. Tonight.  Well, two if you count my Beer League team's big game against the Easton 'Fections. [NHL]
  
• Puck Daddy's 3 stars. No Blues. [Puck Daddy]
  
• Columbus coach Tortorella complained about how much Pittsburgh whines...and it sounded kind of whiny. [CBS]
  
• Splodey Bones took a cross check to the !throat! last night and had to go to the hospital for a 'dented trachea.'  I wonder if that guy is collecting injuries like a hobby sometimes.  Good news is, he should be ok. [Puck Daddy]
  
• Evegeni Malkin is giving goalies nightmares lately.  Jake Allen knows a bit about this. [Puck Daddy]
