(Actually, this thing is pretty fucking sweet, not gonna lie.)
Links? Links. Lots to cover.
BLUES NEWS:
- New Blues forward Olli Jokinen, who is also now the oldest player on the team now that Martin Brodeur is gone, suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, but it's not supposed to be serious. [StL Today / Morning Skate]
- That news, plus updates on Kevin Shattenkirk and Zbynek Michalek and a bit of background on Robert Bortuzzo, among other things, in Lou's notebook. [In the Slot / Lou Korac]
- Vladimir Tarasenko 'bout to get PAID. [The Score]
KNOW YOUR ENEMY--THE WINNIPEG JETS:
- For everything you need to know about the Jets--tonight's opponent and Canada's lone #ConferenceIII team--check out Arctic Ice Hockey, one of SB Nation's finest team-centric NHL blogs. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
HOCKEY NEWS:
- Five scores from last night. Nothing exciting. [NHL.com 03/09/15]
- Eight games tonight. Surely, you care about one of them. [NHL.com 03/10/15]
- The Bruins are paying a bunch of passengers to be drivers. That and more in this week's What We Learned from Ryan Lambert. [Puck Daddy]
- The Sharks are a tire fire this year. What went wrong, and how can they fix it? [CBS Sports Eye on Hockey]
- Hurricanes forward Alexander Semin scored from his Goddamn stomach the other night against the Oilers. Seriously, look at this. [USA Today / For the Win]

- 8,000 season ticket deposits have been entered in Vegas. Short of the goal, but the drive is only a month in AND the drive is not dependent on corporate sponsors (i.e. DAT CASINO SCRATCH), so this is probably a pretty good sign. [Puck Daddy]

VIDEO:
Here's a cat whose owner has tried to use a harness with him/her. It obviously did not draw a great reaction from the cat. (S/T to BluesMay, who was sent this by a good friend):
Awesome.
