Music Monday – “Walking through town is quite scary/It’s not very sensible either/A friend of a friend he got beaten/He looked the wrong way at a policeman”
This song has been going through my head all day for some reason. (In completely unrelated news, Go Habs Go!) “I Predict A Riot” – Kaiser Chiefs
Music Monday – “Whereas some of us weren’t always fair/To the Native kid on borrowed skates/Chippy Goolies and Ukrainians/In the corners with our elbows up”
Goolie was originally a derogatory term referring to people of Icelandic descent who settled in Manitoba. The derivation of the word remains a mystery. The most plausible origin I encountered while researching When Falcons Fly was that the first Icelandic settlers had thick Norse accents and pronounced the word “goalie” as “goolie.” Interestingly, the word […]
Legends of Hockey: The New York Islanders
When I started following hockey as a young kid around the age seven or eight, the Islanders were the best team in the league. (Interestingly, I clearly remember friends who cheered for Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Philadephia but no one else seemed to have latched on to the Islanders which is another reason […]
Have Oiler Fans Never Read “The Monkey’s Paw”? ;-)
Oiler fans in early 2020: “Please let the Stanley Cup be lifted in Edmonton this year!” The Oilers lose to the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks in the play-in round while *Tampa Bay* lifts Cup at Rogers Place after beating Dallas in Edmonton-based bubble hockey playoffs. Oiler fans last night: “Please let Connor win it in OT!” […]
Friday Fun Link – Cnnr Mcavi?
The Oilers have lost their first two games against the Winnipeg Jets and Connor McDavid, long known as “Connor McAvi” for the lack of “d” in his game can now be known as “Cnnr McAvi” as he hasn’t had a lot of “o” in this came recently either! As a Flames fan, it’s hard to […]
Friday Fun Link – Know Rivalry
Know Rivalry is a research project from an American university where you can enter your thoughts and impressions about whoever you feel your favourite sports team(s) greatest rivals are then see results from other fans of the same team *and* your rivals’ team to see if they feel the same way about your team.
My Garage Lights Are Smarter Than I Am
I’m getting more and more interested in smart devices with my most recent purchase being three smart floodlights which I installed in my garage so that the neighbours can enjoy my obsession too! Easter… Calgary Flames Game Night… Anniversary of Humboldt Broncos Tragedy…
My Take on the Calgary Flames Season
Sharing my insight about the Flames’ season with the good folks at CalgaryPuck (of note, there are only a handful of sites that both still exist and also pre-date when I began using the “Headtale” alias for every site I joined. CalgaryPuck, which I joined in 2002 soon after we moved to Calgary, is one […]
