UPDATE (Sunday, April 29 at 12:42 p.m.): Coach Ken Hitchcock told reporters after Sunday's practice that Alex Pietrangelo is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. "Don't be writing him off yet," Hitchcock said.

So our stud defenseman does not look to be concussed, but since things are day to day, its hard to say if he'll be back or not anytime soon. Lets hope sooner rather than later.

So on my way into work this morning NPH had a peice about the NHL and pentalies. Aside from the obvious fact that they had no clue what hockey was or is, and explained it in a manner indicating that the audience isnt familiar with it (a penalty is when someone does something wrong and he has to go sit by him self while his team only plays with four players, while the other team plays with five (and this is a power play...)). Anyway, they did some fancy statistical analysis and came to the conclusion that teams wearing black jerseys get an average of 2 more minutes in the box the guys in white. Personally I dont think the results of this are very conclusive just for the fact of how inconsistant the refs are in the league. Anway, here is da link:

Blues can clinch it!

So all we have to do is win tonight. Then if we can get San Josey, Cal and Gary to loose tonight we've got our (and the first of the NHL's) ticket to the final dance. So that means we would need to cheer for the guys from Phoenix and the Pekka heads from south of here, aka Nashville.

Jump for jumps sake
