Forget Strip Poker, How About Strip Shootouts?
by Jes
From a poster on the St. Louis Today forums, the Blues have a very unique and innovative way to practice shootouts.
Enter a bit of stripping to the equation... ORLY?
Yeah, I'm quite thankful that the contest was ended. Do we really need Walker and Brewer skating down the ice with their schlongs flapping in the breeze? Remember, the cold of the arena would really create some shrinkage... O_o

The Blues have been OK in shootouts this season at 6-6. But on the heels of two bad losses, Blues coach Andy Murray wanted to put some smiles on his players, so he called for the R-rated drill at the end of Wednesday’s practice. Actually, it was PG-13, but it was pretty funny.
As you can imagine, here’s how it works: If you miss a shootout attempt, you take a piece of equipment off. When your equipment is gone, your threads are next.
Most of the players missed a shot or two and skated down the ice without a helmet or glove on the third attempt, finally putting the biscuit in the basket.
Not Eric Brewer or Matt Walker. The two Blues’ defensemen were the last two players not to make it. As their teammates bellowed in laughter, Brewer and Walker broke in on goalies Jason Bacashihua and Curtis Sanford wearing only their skates and a pair of spandex bikers shorts. Thank God, Murray wouldn’t let them go any further.
The players prohibited FSN Midwest from taping the drill, but they loved it.

The Real Reason Oleg Kvasha isn't in the NHL
by Jes
Some have suggested that the reason that Oleg Kvasha, the talented and enigmatic Russian giant, isn't in the NHL this year is all due to the Salary Cap restricting a guy of his talent and salary range from finding a willing team.
That sounds logical, but I think it has more to do with him seeing this video and running away from the North American continent in total and utter terror.
*cringe*
