Was supposed to be at the Gartner analytics conference in Flo Rida today but … no thanks. The Stable Genius’ Economic Plan in action. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a reasonable 2025 replacement in Canada.

New vernacular: Americano -> Canadiano Measles -> Freedom Freckles

Remember back when an 0-3 stretch wasn’t a 5-alarm fire but just another week. Ah the good old multi-decades of darkness in the years before 0 AMc*. *Anno McDomini-tion

At least early in the season the losses were all moral victories ... the deserved losses are starting to get old already. Yeah, yeah, the Oilers are never out of a game and this one ain't over, but since 4 Nations it's more like they've never been in a game, let out alone never out of it!

Definition, Scheduled loss: (phrase, NHL) 1. 2nd game of a back to back and third game in four nights on the road 2. any Oilers game starting before 5pm Eastern time

Cheap and cheerful all sits shot/heat map I'm thinking of adding to the game bot

Ooops, LOL, a bit of catch up here, I forgot I turned off the bot during the 4 Nations hiatus

Love the attitude from the maple syrup! 🇨🇦

Is it wrong of me to laugh at the familiar sight of Doughty with his arms completely wrapped around McDavid while the refs are nowhere to be found? 😉

THURSDAY NIGHT PARTY

Family is visiting from Cali right now and they are being good supporters (buying Canadian, skiing at Sunshine, etc.) But man are they eating up the cheap eggs!

Goalie stats (test)

Player stats (test)

Pacific standings (test)

Sadly, this (“I lack empathy and also critical thinking skills” and also “I’m so privileged that politics has never been personal for me”) describes pretty much every NHL player, so there should be zero surprise when they complain about *any* political expression not in their favour

I have a colleague who is a former NHL offensive lineman, and I met him in person for the first time. Despite being forewarned, I was not adequately prepared for the bone crushing nature of the handshake

Well, off to Indianapolis via JFK … wish me luck in US airspace

7 weeks and $23,000 worth of hail damage repair and finally back home

Weird amount of reaction just because some guy in Philly won a bowl of soup. Now if it was a Philly cheesesteak, that would be exciting

Oooof

LOL, that’s what you call skating on a whole nuvvah level

Good old fashioned pond hockey!

Win squeezed out… Get the hyperbaric chambers ready!

It’s an OT tragicomedy!

Um, it’s *Canada*, we wouldn’t have a Fentanyl Czar, we’d have a Fentanyl Gord

Please fix late game rectal-cranial inversion

PK is AWOL, gotta fix PDQ

They forgot about Jeff Draisaitl!

Normally I’d be happy we’re going run and gun with a team, but this one makes me nervous

Ok now my brain is wondering about Oilers Jeffs. Jeff: Skinner, Jackson, Drouin-Deslauriers Geoff: Sanderson, Smith Which Jeff’s have I forgotten?

They forgot about … Jeff?

Spotted at the Sad Dull Dome in 2022 - a Flames Gretzky 99 jersey. Although after the last few months, I suppose they can have him

Holy sh*t, what a masterpiece Terry Fox x Tragically Hip 🇨🇦 youtu.be/bguDFkPv9CI?...

If things stay on schedule, I will get my car back tomorrow from its second round of hail damage repair. Yes, from the *August* hail storm.

ALL THE CONNOR GOALZ ARE BELONG TO US

They (you know the rest)

Have the Elks moved to, or at least added, Bluesky? @theelksherd.bsky.social? Maybe I should build an Elks twitter retweet bot like my Oilers twitter retweet bot. “We wade into Musk’s Nazi cesspool so you don’t have to!”
