Saying farewell to the St. Louis Blues 2013 playoff run…

It was a story of missed opportunities, and amazing saves by Jonathan Quick:

And fluke goals flustering the otherwise stellar efforts of Brian Elliot:

But congrats to the LA Kings on their well-fought victories:

and good luck to what will be a tough team to beat in the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs!

The St. Louis Blues may be down 3-2 in the series against the Kings, but I still think we have a good shot to turn this series around. Because it’s the Cup.
And this GIF should be a reminder to every Blues fan why you never give up in the playoffs:

Barrett Jackman can’t believe we lost to the LA Kings in Game 4.  Hopefully the Blues will take the series back!

Congrats to the Baltimore Ravens on their victory in Super Bowl XLVII!  Good thing the lighting didn’t blowout before this memorable touchdown dance.
And for those of you who love touchdown dances and GIFs (but might have been rooting for the other team), here’s a few more GIF’d touchdown dances to enjoy…

February 1, 2013, will be the 100th anniversary of the opening of Grand Central Terminal. To help prepare for the occasion, Metro-North electricians polished and dusted the historic melon chandeliers that illuminate the Terminal, and replaced bulbs as needed. When the chandeliers were installed a century ago, they carried bare, energy-hungry incandescent bulbs. Today they use efficient compact fluorescent bulbs that use just 5 watts to provide the same amount of light as the previous 25-watt bulbs. Each chandelier holds 110 light bulbs.
