My wife and I went to the Van Gogh exhibit and it was great.

They had a gift shop.

In this gift shop, they sold patches.

One of these patches was a rendition of Van Gogh’s face.

Ryan O’Reilly was Vincent Van Gogh in a past life.

Hopefully he doesn't cut his ear off!

ps... I went to that Van Gogh thing too and really enjoyed it. It was a bit pricey but it was cool for a new experience.

[GeddyWrox]

Mikkola now on the COVID list.

Think we’re down to 20 healthy on the roster, with no cap space to bring anyone else up

This sounds pretty bad re: Schenn

Sunday’s contest with the Anaheim Ducks was the Blues’ first with captain Ryan O’Reilly in the lineup since his positive COVID test Oct. 26.

But it was also their first without alternate captain Brayden Schenn since the Stanley Cup season of 2018-19. Schenn crashed into the boards in the first period of Thursday’s 5-3 victory in San Jose and did not return to the game.

He may not return — period — for a while. He was sent back to St. Louis for further evaluation after that game — and that’s never a good sign. For example, Vladimir Tarasenko was sent back to St. Louis from the Edmonton bubble during the 2019-20 postseason, and the result was a third shoulder surgery.

Berube didn’t sound optimistic when asked about the Schenn injury on Saturday.

“It’s a tough loss,” Berube said. “I feel for Schenner. He’s one of our guys that fights through anything, whether it’s injuries or things like that. He’s a battler. It’s unfortunate that we lost him here. So hopefully he’s back sooner than later but it’s a tough loss.”

Which doesn’t sound like a player who’s going to return in a few games. Schenn’s ailment has been described only as an upper-body injury, an aggravation of something that occurred Oct. 30 against Chicago. In that game, Schenn left the ice appearing to favor his hand or wrist after slamming into the boards. (He was also checked for a concussion that night, but returned to the game and played Wednesday in Los Angeles, scoring a goal.)

That was an incredibly undeserved win aside from Binny, but take it.
