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.

Alas, the streak is over (with the least characteristic Ovechkin goal ever to boot).
