Two of the most actively managed rosters in the league. This should prove to the rest of the league that management strategies beyond "Tanking and Hoping for the Best" exist and should be explored. Also, imagine if a team like the #Oilers with 2 generational talents had such savvy management...

Tyler Dellow lifting the cup with a Conn Smythe-quality performance from Taylor Hall would be some crazy monkey's paw magic at work.

It's one of those days where I daydream about living somewhere that is not a "sovereign" Alberta.

The UCP Caucus accidentally sent a press release outlining the 'decision' of the committee that determined the fate of the Forever Canada petition... before it adjourned. A predetermined outcome. No vote. No debate. No respect for democracy. No respect for Albertans. youtube.com/shorts/tyQtJ...

The rig is in.

The UCP are objectively anti-democratic shills for their separatist masters. This province should be furious.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

Holland & Bowman, as deadly of a combo as McDavid & Draisaitl.

Shit happens when you elect an oil & gas lobbyist as premier. 😔

this looks like an extra tough captcha test

I find it very fitting that Kenney is being forced into the fight against the very clowns for which he built a circus tent in the first place. This should be just the start of his penance.

Did they have to describe the guy like he's Jason Bourne?

Wagon vs. le wagon, round 2, let's go!

I think this is a first. A travel advisory for the USA from Amnesty International for the #FIFAWorldCup2026. www.amnestyusa.org/blog/2026-wo...

With the distinct possibility that the courts will prevent validation of the Stay Free Alberta petition, we are left with a single source for the separatists' claim that they collected enough signatures to spark a referendum. And that source is far from trustworthy.👇 But also...🧵

No, I don’t want to share my location. No, I don’t want to download your app. No, I don’t want to make an account. I just want to look at your menu to see how much your stupid fucking burger costs.

Simply put, after drafting McDavid, #Oilers management has continuously prioritized short-term over long-term success. They won the lottery, and instead of investing it for a sustainable, growth-driven future, decided to rack up credit card debt and pay it down with payday loans. Sow. Reap.

Current, signed #Oilers acquired by either using or trading any of their draft picks in the 10 drafts since McDavid: Drafted: -Bouchard Traded for: -Frederic -Podkolzin -Ekholm -Emberson Maybe the strategy of "Unrelentingly Terrible Asset Management" doesn't work? Really makes you think.

Ducks 🤝 Zebras

Alberta Politics is circling the toilet bowl on its way down south.

Reminder that if Ken Holland had been replaced with a sentient potato that drafted using amalgamated public sources, the Oilers would have drafted Lane Hutson. #Oilers

First game all season Oilers win where McDavid didn’t get a point (0-12-2 beforehand)

BUFFALO LOVES #STANLEYCUP PLAYOFFS HOCKEY 🗣️ Game 2 of /NHLBruins vs. /BuffaloSabres is TUESDAY at 7:30p ET on /espn, /Sportsnet and /TVASports 2!

Important read for Alberta peeps.

Blue Sky is popping off.

Today, I sent a letter to the Alberta Legislature committee, urging them to get to work, refer the question ”Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” and vote on it NOW. The economic and social damage to Alberta is unacceptable. Stop the delay. #ableg #cdnpoli

Fun fact: league average goaltending at 5v5 this year (90.57%) equates to an extra 28 goals being saved for the #Oilers, resulting in a goal differential of +32 (6th best in the league). Happy Wednesday everyone!

Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse was spitting absolute fire on the corrupt care scandal and Smith's entitlement today! This video is SO worth your time! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Adding to the NHL East vs West debate: 7 of 16 Western teams have a pts% greater than .500 vs the East Vs Every Eastern team except for NYR have a pts % greater than .500 vs the West. I can't recall such a disparity between both conferences in recent memory.

To recap: Danielle Smith's UCP want to: 🔴 force you to undergo involuntary addictions "treatment." 🔴 prevent you from securing lifesaving gender-affirming care for your child. 🔴 severely restricted your access to medical assistance in dying. Takes the compassion and care out of compassionate care.

VENEZUELA DEFEATS THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP 🇻🇪🏆

If the Oilers miss the playoffs because their goalies can't give up fewer than 4 goals against for the remainder of the season, you'll be able to hear the echoes of my "I TOLD YOU SO"s across the ocean.

Draisaitl out for the season. Just brutal.

Fun (weird?) fact: The #Ducks have more shootout goals scored this year (15) than all of: Boston - 3 San Jose - 3 Toronto - 3 Edmonton -2 St. Louis - 1 Winnipeg - 1 Seattle -1 Utah - 0 combined. Helps explain how they can lead their division with a negative goal differential.

Collective goal differential of the top-3 teams in each division (by points %): Central: +170 Atlantic: +98 Metro: +68 ... Pacific: -26 (MINUS twenty six) The Pacific is not a real division and I am thankful my team plays in it 🙏

make stuff. make stuff that's ugly and imperfect and messy. make stuff that will never in a million years sell. make stuff that's just for you. make stuff that has been done a million times before but do it in your way, and who gives a fuck if someone else did it better? just make stuff.

I tried combining the #Oilers and #Canucks rosters to make the best cap compliant team possible. The results:

"Pluralists should avoid treating these votes as a normal exercise in democracy... It is a referendum on an approach to governance — a way to manufacture legitimacy while dodging the institutions that test ideas, protect rights and force compromise." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026....

As of now, using points %, Oil are currently a hair outside of a playoff spot. ANA .589 VGK .581 SEA .549 Wild Card: UTA .565 SJS .542 EDM .540 LA .525

Mike Grier might be the only thing that stops the #Sharks from overtaking the #Oilers the next few years. God bless him.

To honor those Dutch paintings we have lost... we pin a tulip to our jackets... on this, Rembrandt Day.

"Look at how horrible our provincial budget is with record-breaking resource revenues. We need to give this provincial government control over everything to fix things."

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone ❤️

At least we have #Oilers hockey to look forward to.

None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change. Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional. Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then? Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow: 🔴 Immigrants pay provincial taxes. 🔴 Many non-immigrants don't. Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers. It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.

Marner, Suzuki and McDavid. Pretty iconic for 3 of Canada's heroes to be from Canada's 3 biggest NHL clubs 👀

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

These are not smart people. 1) Independence makes you *more* dependent on federal policy, since they get to decide whether or not you can access TMX. Forget about ever building another pipeline west. 2) You need the goods (food, etc.) that cross "our land". Blocking their passage is self-injury.
