The Blues open their 2010-2011 season tomorrow night at Scottrade Center—soon to be home to a new Brett Hull statue—and at St. Louis Game Time they're officially rounded into midseason form.

("When you join up for the SMA, you agree to become a faceless agent of mayhem as well as a fully recognized Game Time soldier.")
↵It's hockey. It's serious. I'm told the Canadian armed forces actually began as a campaign to talk the Winnipeg Falcons up via telegraph as the class of the Olympics.
