Elrond: oh hey you guys are back early Gandalf: mountains are haunted Elrond: what? Gandalf: *loading a pistol and getting back on Shadowfax* mountains are haunted

I will say having been through free agency on this site for four years (I suppose it’s really been more like three), it’s nice to see way more activity than I’ve seen in prior years. Have a hunch Blue Sky is slowly becoming The Place For Hockey™️

The Yukon Fuji GW680III Fuji Acros II

Once again it appears that "Don't Do Anything" is winning day 1 of NHL Free Agency

The Troy Stecher AAV is $1.35M on a 2 year deal. Fair contract for both sides. Historically, Stecher is a under the radar defensive defenseman. Should help as bottom pair or extra defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs. #NHL

With the Algeria win, the winner of Canada’s group will most likely play the 3rd place team in Group G (Egypt, Iran, Belgium, or NZ)… unless Egypt beats Iran on June 26, in which case it’ll most likely be Group J (Algeria or Austria). We won’t have more clarity until after Canada’s game on Wed.

BBC News went live to Cabo Verde and then Cabo Verde scored a goal. Absolute scenes.

Messi.

Looking forward to seeing BSH_EricT and mc79hockey inscribed on the Cup.

youtu.be/LEEM-wJzPF0?... Weeeeeeeeeee!

Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes players most of all, for the blood and sweat and glory. And a deep congratulations also to Tyler Dellow, Dennis King, and Eric Tulsky, the first two of whom I've been learning from for multiple decades. Stanley Cup Champions!

RIP Dave Staples Died in a hand washing urinal

Fuck yeah @erictulsky.bsky.social

Congrats to Dellow, Tulsky, and Uncle Dennis! Oh, and also the Carolina Hurricanes.

The greatest moment in the history of our sport

youtu.be/wXp1igNB5x8?... Happy Pisani Day to all those that celebrate.

Scotland plays in the World Cup tonight, crank it up to a million

Well, I suppose extending Michael McCarron for 6 years at 3x league min $ to lock up a depth player that had 17 points last season until he’s 37 is something you could do if you were an NHL GM. And Bill Guerin is an NHL GM

Problem with June in the Yukon is the dawn chorus starts at 3am

It’s true. I was interviewed

Wemby is too tall

I remember being 9 and watching my ~17 year old 6'4 220 lb body building brother compete vs my Dad in pyroghi eating contest on xmas Eve. My baba gleefully kept making them. They are smaller about half the size of a store bought but they both hit triple digits.

Jarvis wins it for Carolina

Ohtani is having a .300/.400/.500 season at the plate and these are his projected pitching stats, lol this is so insane

How the Stanley Cup Final teams were built. Only two players selected by either team in the first round. Only one top-5 pick (Svechnikov at No. 2... and oddly enough, Carolina only had the 11th-worst record that year. Big lottery luck).

Key soaking it all in with his son ❤️

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Hotels that stop breakfast at 9am are really overestimating me.

Can I get any of you to watch? It’s good. I’ve been listening to his podcast @stoppodcasting.bsky.social for soooooo loooooong. Lots of Vancouver jokes if you’re familiar.

I can't in good conscience hope for Vegas to win but Mitch Marner hoisting a cup in a win over Montreal in his first year away from Toronto would be an exceptionally good bit.

A brief thread on Chrono Trigger effect scripting. Not my first thread on the subject, but this one will be more detailed. I'm going to look at the single tech "Confuse/Frenzy" and how it can look great with ZERO NEW ASSETS. That's right, there is not a single original frame in this tech.

Jiri Dough-pita (this is an hard core Oilers pull)

The Avalanche have 16 shots. MacKinnon has seven of them.

Today's NHL is awesome.

Security personnel, As a result of yesterday's accident, we will no longer be using bat'leths during security training sessions. Worf

What ridiculous wording.

Star players can open the championship window. But organizational structure and discipline will keep you there. Thoughts on what it'll actually take to be an annual cup contender in Edmonton. thesuperfan.ca/2026/05/08/o...

I think about her a lot because of this

What a nauseating segment on HNIC regarding the Norris. With Kelly Hrudey saying, "If Evan has more years like this he should be considered" The fact they spent the whole segment talking about Bouchard kind of tells you what the problem is.

The overwhelming consensus among the people I encountered during my visit was that separatists are a small but loud minority, fuelled by the algorithm on one particular social media platform (along with a large helping of foreign interference) that is bending reality into something unrecognizable.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Shout out, "The old Canadian Tire building" here in Whitehorse.

wheeee

More like Logan Stankhotasanoven, amirite?

Stankoven has learned to shoot

That's Michkov on the bottom from their last game. 5v5 via NST.
