Music Monday – “Facing off with gophers/Man it ain’t the same/As being home at the Saddledome/For the Oilers and the Flames”

This song which mentions the Flames vs. Oilers feels appropriate after the Flames heart-stopping OT win in Game 7 versus Dallas which triggers the first playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991… A couple other Oilers/Flames themed songs…

RIP Craig Smith (1972-2022)

I heard some shocking news from my parents a couple weeks ago and saw confirmation from his sister on Facebook a few days ago. Craig and I were only a couple grades apart but, in a small town, two years could feel more like twenty. So we weren’t particularly close in school but our parents […]

Some inappropriate jokes and banter here but still interesting to see wrestlers dropping their characters and joking around…

My 2022 Stanley Cup Predictions (and hey, @NHL get your shit together!)

Haven’t done this for a couple years but here’s my picks for the Stanley Cup Playoffs… Well, sort of.  Unless I’m missing something, the geniuses at the NHL have apparently managed to create a highly touted interactive feature that has a pop-up “Tiebreaker” box that can’t be moved or cancelled (at least on a Macbook […]

Friday Fun Link – 1953 Pro Wrestling Match

Fascinating to see how pro wrestling used to be presented… It’s not really fair as a comparison since it’s a compilation of his “greatest hits” rather than a single match.  But here’s a clip of some highlights from one of the most dynamic, innovative wrestlers competing today…

Friday Sad Link – RIP Mike Bossy (1957-2022)

Sad to hear that my absolute favourite NHL player of all-time, Mike Bossy, passed away today after a lengthy battle with lung cancer (almost unbelievably, one of the greatest goal scorers of all-time was also a heavy smoker, especially early in his career.) How much did I admire Bossy?  To this day, I used “22” […]
