Rumor has it that the blues are resigning everyone's favorite name to misspell. 

jprutherford     Blues and D Carlo Colaiacovo are very close to a deal . . . could be announced as soon as tomorrow

 

In other news.. I scooped Andy Strickland via Twitter last night. That Bastid.

P.S. looks like it should be around 

Colaiacovo's Prayers Get Answered (via boygenius88)

Here's to more of this, and to less of this

Colaiacovo misses a check and gets pwned (via 307x)

Vladimir Sobotka levels Tyler Myers (via NHLArchive)

If this is the kind of game that Sobotka can bring then I am really excited about seeing him wear the note. Just a quick search through youtube gives plenty of reasons to believe that this guy could be some sort of crazy clone of silent jay with maybe a bit more of a physical presence.

Besides its always nice to see giant Tyler Myers leveled by someone who is proportionally sized.

I am on a bus to Calgary with Darren Pang. A few of you on the Blues Talk forum were wondering what the heck Pang means when he says "Nine of Hearts" on the broadcast, so I asked him . . . here’s what he said:"In Canada, we grew up playing a card game called ‘Euchre.’ The nine of hearts can be a bad card. It’s always been a saying we’ve had in the locker room that when a player gets toe-dragged, deked, burnt, it has always been the nine of hearts for me. In the card game, if trump is spades, then the nine of hearts is useless. If trump is hearts, then the 9 of spades is useless. So I could start using the 9 of spades."
