All over twitter that Cam signed a 1 year 2 way deal with the Devils.  He might not have scored alot but I'll miss him and his marathon fights where the other guy drops from exhaustion.  Hopefully he'll do well over there but who knows who the coach is even going to be so they might not want someone with his skills. 

 

This is an eleven word sentence so I can post this.

I have an RSS feed for jobs in the NHL and this one popped up on it today. It's part time and seasonal so it's not worth the move from NY but figured there are alot of people close enough on the blog who might enjoy a job with a little peek behind the scenes  to make it worth their while.  So here's the link

St Louis Blues Game Day Supervisor

Enjoy if anyone gets the job they owe me one

 

OK with the large amount of negativity lately (which I hope my last poll Fanpost didn't add to) So I'm thinking back to Averagejoes peice about being a fan from afar and I think we should all start saying why exactly we watch and love The St Louis Blues. 

Why am I a Blues fan?  Short Answer is one word long CuJo.

Now the long answer.  I was born and raised just outside of Syracuse, NY.  A town that was between Hockey teams while I grew up and therefore Hockey wasn't really on my radar.  Then in 1993 I went to college at Oswego State which is on a lake with Canada on the other side.  They had a hockey team and I quicklt fell in love with the game watching the team play live and screaming things down into the opposing teams penalty box with one foot on the boards.  We'd then go back to the dorm and watch Hockey Night in Canada.  I had to pick a team to route for since just routing for the underdog was getting boring. 

Say what you want about Curtis Joeph but I think anyone will agree he was the single most exciting goalie to ever watch in the net and I enjoyed the hell out of watching him play but then came the day.  It was game one of the second round of the 1993 playoffs.  Blues against the Leafs.  During that game Cujo got kicked in the face by a skate.  Let me say that again HE GOT KICKED IN THE FACE BY A SKATE.  He went off the ice got stiches and was back on the ice in (and I just looked up Hebert's time on ice today) 2 minutes.  You kick me with a skate I'm in bed for a week.  I turned to my friend Bill and said "That guys nuts.  I like him.  That's my team."  We may have lost that game and even dropped the series in 7 but I have never looked back and regretted that day.

OK I'm still not quite ready to push the panic button.  Although I have flipped up the plastic safety cover that keeps the janitor from mistakingly hitting it while he's cleaning up. 

 Even though I know we might need something drastic to shake us out of our stupor I still don't think they'll get rid of AM even though it's the default answer nowadays if you aren't winning.  That lead me to start thinking of things that they can do to try and light a fire under the players and get some wins.  I threw some of my ideas into a poll and if anyone else has ideas throw them into the comments.
