FOUR-KNUCKLE TWEETDOWN

Mined this nugget from Puck Daddy, to which I am addicted.

What we hadn't seen, until today, were the seeds of a future fight planted.

St. Louis Blues tough guy Cam Janssen has been on Twitter for a while now and today decided to reach out to Dallas Stars scrapper (and fellow Norton Sports client) Krys Barch and extend an invitation for the upcoming season. 

Oh, and Janssen's new Twitter page background is of he and a bloodied Barch (mostly Janssen's blood) during one of their four scraps together, of which included this display of nothing but bombs.

Barch accepted the invite with the Stars and Blues set to meet on October 16th.  No longer will fighters have to wait until they set up for a face-off to plan fisticuffs, now there's social media to do the work.

And I’ll add... a guy like Janssen could continually update this twitter account from the Blues bench ... between shifts. Of course tectonic plates move measurable distances between Cam Janssen shifts - but I digress…

Here’s a breakdown of the two future combatants, a “tale of the pine” if you will:
