It feels like Christmas today. Why? Is it the snow? The chilly temperature? The fact that Amazon finally shipped the last of the gifts I bought for my wife?

No, our dear friends (and division rivals), the St. Louis Blues, just signed Kyle Wellwood to a $650K one-year prorated deal.

Now, forget about the fact that he can provide some forward depth, and that he's actually decent at faceoffs. Let's focus on what it means to us, specifically.

Now, when we say "Big Blue", it doesn't just mean the New York Football Giants.

When you hear "St. Louis-style ribs", it will mean 4 slabs of bones, since Kyle polished them off.

It means there's a good chance when Wellwood saw the big arch in St. Louis, he thought there was a giant McDonald's nearby.

Wellwood waddling around the Central Division is the gift that will keep on giving.
