Today was a nice day in #yeg.

Credit where credit is due, Skinner was excellent.

I’d prefer Philp over Henrique, but otherwise I like these lines.

Oilers' practice lines ahead of their game against the Rangers tonight, via Jonny Lazarus.

This is likely the lineup they will run this evening.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, he likes to shoot and he’d get a lot of chances with those two.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

I absolutely do not understand that signing, but he’s here and for a long time—play him on the third line where he’ll be most effective.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

Imagine the Oilers had a goalie who could regularly make saves they should AND shouldn’t.

Classic Kane

4. WHY DID THEY PUNT?! I get the win was priority #1, but a TD and 2 pts convert would given them the tie-breaker.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

Would have been nice to get the win by 14 pts. to own the tie-breaker with WPG, but they win and are still alive!

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

Did they get that right? The ball was there but that looked like it was still a face mask.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

HOLY SHIT! #Elks

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

RANKIN! 💪

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 3d

TD ELKS! LET’S GO!

I would bet the $100 it costs for the vaccine that this was intentional.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 5d

So I just discovered that the $100 the UCP is charging for the COVID vaccine is being billed as an "administrative charge" and not for the vaccine itself. This makes it ineligible to be covered by group health benefits providers.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 6d

And as expected, goaltending is still very much an issue.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 6d

New guys looked good. Regula looked good in his role and made a couple excellent breakout passes, Tomasek made the great play on Drai’s goal, Howard had all kinds of chances and is bound to bury some if he keeps shooting like that. Savoie was quiet, but won an important puck battle on the late PK.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 6d

Beautiful. 400 for Drai!

I guess this is what Premier Smith and the UCP had in mind when they changed the rules for municipal elections. It could be a big win for them and their corporate donors as Mr. Cartmell and his party will no doubt be much more in line with their priorities. But for Edmontonians, it’s terrible.

Troy Pavlek @troypavlek.ca · 8d

Tim Cartmell alone has raised as much money as EVERY other candidate outside his party COMBINED.

Tim & his Timbits have pulled in over $1M of big corporate dollars, with another $200k for the party.

The unprecedented flow of big money into our local election is staggering.

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 9d

So, who thinks Crosby ends up on the Oilers by the deadline?

As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. 🧵

This is Bruce in August.

His apology might frame last nights abuse of speakers as a one off, but his contempt for Albertans isn’t a one off, it’s a pattern.

And one that Smith tolerates and endorses.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Urbanist nerds will likely enjoy this one: What's the latest trend in downtown housing development in Edmonton? Downsizing. And seeing the future park as the major catalyst and amenity that will attract new residents.

Warehouse Park, other incentives spur up to 1,800 housing units downtown

Several developers say the "black hole" created by the many surface parking lots that surround Warehouse Park downtown is finally set to change, with up to 1,800 housing units proposed.

Thanks for nothing Hamilton. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Stefan C. @stefmonton.bsky.social · 18d

Elks chances are slim, but with BC beating Toronto last night, that crossover spot is still open and the team to catch now is WPG. And a real long shot, but maybe it’s CGY that can fall out if they continue to lose. Lol.
