Saturday Links: No one is to Blame

Blues News:

• Well damn. The worst team in the central that somehow manages to beat all of the good teams in the central struck again last night. A decent effort overall (and a stellar effort by Brian Elliott) got wasted with a shootout loss.  Justin42 relived the pain with you. [STLGT]
• For the view behind enemy lines, check out Mile High Hockey.  They were slightly more enthusiastic about the outcome. [MHH]
  
• Former Blues Defenseman Rik Wilson died WAY TOO YOUNG at 53.  He was a part of the Saint Louis community and a big loss. Prayers for his family. [CBS]
• The Blues are in "trade mode" and Kevin Shatternkirk keeps coming up in conversation.  If we don't get an elite forward back for our elite defenseman, pitchforks will be sharpened. [HNGN]
• Rank the Blues: Alex Steen had the goal, Troy Brouwer had the only assist, no one scored in the shootout...not much else stats wise...what is your take on each player's performance?

• Your beer of the day is Cold Snap by Sam Adams. Decent beer with very complex undertones and a smooth finish.  Drink several while pretending to be snowed in like all those suckers on the East Coast. [Untappd]
