Beyond Checkerdome

Hello there, boys and girls! We're back, and what a show we have for you this week! First there's the week in game recaps, with some ups and downs (mostly downs). The closer we get to the end of the season, the more directly we can connect these points to possible playoff matchups. Weird goals, soft goals, comebacks, let-downs .... all now have a little more weight to them. The biggest news, of course, are the trade deadline moves by the St Louis Blues and the rest of the league. To give us a hand, we're joined by Dan Bradley of The Predcast and SBNation's On The Forecheck. He gives us another perspective on the day's activity, the #Perds and the Central Division playoffs, and some important instructions on one of the new Blues - Olli Jokinen. Something about not feeding him after midnight, and not getting him wet, I think. Also, of course, we talk the additions of Robert Bortuzzo, Zbynek Michalek, and Adam Cracknell. Also also, a fond farewell to Ian Cole.
