Yeah, with the tall order of building a winning roster, I'd rather one include good leaders and good humans and Calgary does a very good job at that. And maybe that also turns into a positive feedback loop of loyalty-driven decision making tbh!

Fully agreed! It's probably a mixed bag of being burned in the past and not wanting it to happen again, as well as Calgary putting a lot of effort into keeping players happy as a strategy and that player praise is some form of signal that it's "working."

Same here. Went pretty much cold turkey on twitter and it just became a dreadful place. Like I lost the place to random musings. Now I actively want to get into things again to contribute to making Bsky a better place.

Thanks! Some of the rolls are coming and they do feel magical. I went from QWERTY on a regular keyboard to colemak on a colstag and I'm at the point where my brain is fighting my muscle memory with varying results.
