Perfect description of that goal.

I missed the first period but just got this from my brother. Might have been a good period to miss.
Text message about the amount of Rush being played during the Oilers game. For the record, any Rush is too much Rush.

Had to pull out some cold weather gear for the Elks game today.

In my younger/pre-kids days, this is the type of game I’d have shown up to with just a hoodie. Then I’d have put back a half dozen beers in the first quarter to get a good “beer jacket” going so I could stay warm.

I think I’m going to watch Bull Durham now because I really think I need to more baseball.

Just an incredible ball game. Sports are so much more enjoyable when you don’t care who wins.

For real, no jokes, do it this time.

Are we sure this game will be done before Sunday night?

Bonkers. Just bonkers.

There is no point in having video review if that’s a call you confirm.

12th inning coming up. I’ve got plenty of beer in the fridge, I’m good with this game going on for a long time.

Quebec's new 'Constitution Bill' doubles down on the absurd idea that a province can directly amend the national constitution. It purports to directly change the text of provisions of the Constitution Act, 1867, and repeal others.

Uhh, what is this unconstitutional horseshit?
"The constitution bill would also have the Quebec premier recommend who should be appointed the province's lieutenant-governor. ...
The new legislation would also rename the lieutenant-governor the "officer of Quebec.""

"For Alberta’s Conservative politicians, it’s the fight that really matters — and they have to keep it going at all costs.

And if the potential cost is Canada’s continued existence? Well, that’s a risk that Smith is more than willing to take."

Alberta's premier has opened the door in her party and province to separatists. Now, she's claiming that other people are the ones threatening Canada's future.

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

“It was one bad decision and it makes you look really bad and that’s kind of how it goes,” said Skinner. “At the start of the third period, making a decision like that killed our momentum and made it 3-3.”

Would have been nice to not see post game quotes like this until at least game number two.

If you have to watch the Oilers blow a three goal lead, winning tickets and watching it from these seats is the way to do it.

Up 3-0 and lose 3-4. Let’s put that in the “no good, never do it again” column.

Fun fact: The Oilers have played exactly 4,500 games (regular season + playoffs) since the puck first dropped in the WHA in 1972. Their all-time record is 2,136-2,077-287, which is 59 games above franchise .500.
