She is fantastic. In addition to what she brings—her hockey IQ, ability to communicate, and passion—she doesn't bring the attitude that she's a former player so somehow can just say s*it.

A friend was telling me that Kicking Horse is now cheaper than other more 'generic' coffees because it's Canadian roasted and not affected by tariffs.

I am into Kicking Horse '3 Sisters' medium roast right now. It's a bit cheaper than my fave (Canadian) roaster, Fernwood. And I can get it at Costco. But I hoard Fernwood medium roasts whenever it goes on sale (I get it at Safeway).

I think so, too. My colleague is somewhat depressed.

I'm cheering for continued mediocrity!

They traded their 2026 first rounder. However, it is top-5 protected. (a colleague is a Leafs fan - we just had this conversation last week). So they could go as low as 28th ;)

This is called game management. The league loves close games. They send out PR on it.

Make the league happy.

I enjoy reading all your articles. This one was particularly good. Very balanced in terms of acknowledging the various sides to this situation while not ‘bothsidsing’. And weaving in the historical perspective (while also acknowledging this isn’t exactly that). Just a really well written piece.

It was beautiful.

She's a beauty. Deep soul in that one.

I was looking, and didn't notice much along the Trans Can. Even going through main ports, you might have to leave the Trans Can in search of a station,

Yes. This is my main concern. In city, ok. But if you travel long distances (we drive AB to ON in the summer), that would be stressful and possibly not even feasible.

And if there is no accountability….
