Ondrej Pavelec is my fucking spirit animal, man.

BLUES NEWS:

• JAXX JAXX JAXX JAXX JAXX . . . Barret Jackman, from the other side of the blue line, top corner on Pavelec. And the Blues win 5-4 in regulation over the Jets in a game that totally should've gone to overtime or possibly be a loss. Justin has your recap. [SLGT]
• You probably had a pretty good idea that our pals at Arctic Ice Hockey did not like that result as much. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
• Blues' defensive prospect Colton Parayko will forego his senior season at the University of Alaska, signing a two-year entry-level deal. He will report to the Wolves. [SBN College Hockey]
