ICYMI SLGT:

  • We missed a link about Yak from about a month ago and we (and the Blues) were alerted to Ken Bone before people found out he might be a slight bit of a creep. Otherwise, we’re all good. [SLGT]
  • Beyond Checkerdome has Episode #133 “Yak City” ready for a listen. [SLGT]
  • Recap of game #1 against the Blackhawks in Chicago. [SLGT]
  • Recap of game #2, the home opener versus the Minnesota Wild. [SLGT]

BLUES NEWS:

HOCKEY THINGS:

  • Before the home opener, the Toronto Maple Leafs officially retired 17 numbers that were previously only “honoured”. [TSN]

  • Wojtek Wolski of the KHL’s Metallurg Magnitogorsk will be out the rest of the season after sliding head-first into the boards and sustaining a concussion and broken neck. [Deadspin]

OTHER STUFF:

  • In 1974 the Cleveland Browns are sent a letter, on official attorney letterhead, about possible litigation if people don’t stop throwing paper airplanes. The Browns’ response? To send a letter back to the the law office informing them about the “asshole” that works for them. Ahhh, the 70s. [Deadspin]
  • The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns have an ingenious work-around to the NFL’s ban on teams making their own gifs. [ Deadspin]
