Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

Nothing against Florida-Georgia Line but it’s right there in the name – no connection to Canada, let alone Saskatchewan. In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind. Using a […]

There’s A Lot of Bad News in Hockey These Days…

…and with horrible accusations and scandals right now involving Hockey Canada, the Oiler’s farm team’s head trainer, Tampa Bay Lightning d-man Ian Cole, the Chicago Blackhawks, and more, the attention is very warranted. (On Twitter, there was talk of this being the hockey equivalent of #MeToo – #PuckYou or #PuckToo?) At any rate, as the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – EPL vs. CPL (Aug 2019, Feb 2022)

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting both the newly built Calgary Public Library Central Branch (in 2019) and newly-refurbished Edmonton Public Library (in 2022). And you know what? Newly built or refurbished, both are incredible libraries in their own ways with the main thing they have in common is both cities embracing the value of […]

A Day On The Farm With Darryl Sutter

I went from thinking I might not watch hockey this year after Johnny Gaudreau walked for nothing to barely being able to wait for the season to start after the Flames made a blockbuster trade for Matthew Tkachuk and signed highly coveted free agent Nazim Kadri. Darryl Sutter is also a huge part of my […]

Saturday Snap – Skater Boy

I’ve used this post title before but when your kid loves skateboarding, it’s inevitable you’ll use it again…

Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cup Winning Goals (1933-2019)

This video isn’t as relevant tonight as I’d hoped it would be. But oh well, the Avs will hopefully add their own contribution to this montage on Sunday!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)

As the Stanley Cup Finals are coming to an end (Go Avs!), it makes me think how I have very tangential connections to a handful of NHLers. Though he was a couple years older than me, my main “connection” was growing up on the same street as Dave Karpa (who regularly used my testicles for […]
