BLUES NEWS:

  • The Blues looked mostly like a limp dick in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Jets on Tuesday, so it's the paying audience that got shafted. Justin put a toothpick in the proverbial shit sandwich. [SLGT]
  • Arctic Ice Hockey doesn't really do recaps, but some of the comments serve as a recap of sorts, I suppose. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
  • But never fear! Jaden Schwartz is back to save the offense! Or . . . some shit. Anyway, the little big man is off IR and is expected to play tonight. [SLGT]
  • Schwartz is not John McClane. But now I can't stop saying "Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker". [SLGT]
  • It's dad's trip weekend for the Blues. Also, Jake Allen is inching closer to returning and the Blues recalled Peter Harrold from the Wolves, making me wonder if Petteri Lindbohm died or something. [In the Slot / Lou Korac]
  • The Blues unveiled their 50th anniversary logo. 50 years of franchise history, and all I got was this lousy bland logo. [SLGT]
  • Lynx links! Well, one Lynx link. [SLGT FanPosts]

KNOW YOUR ENEMY--THE FLORIDA PANTHERS:
