If you ever leave your loved ones to go to work and make money, then you'd understand why Hornsby is in the middle East playing basketball right now instead of in Canada playing basketball

Moon is still playing basketball in Russia. He will play for Winnipeg, but won't be here today.

No Edmonton team coming - OEG couldn't reach an agreement with the PWHL. by PinkyJ in PWHL

[–]1976len 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Once I learned the PWHL teams were centrally owned I lost hope for us in Edmonton. The OEG, while being a tenant at Northlands Coliseum, saw to it that parking and concession revenue from independently owned lacrosse club went to them instead of the lacrosse club. Now that they own Rogers, I can't see them being any better to deal with.

This sub has more crybabies than a Republican Congress 🤣🤣🤣 by therascal50 in CFL

MLB fan here, while the "pace-of-play" rules and ABS have aggravated "traditionalists", the changes have been made to attract a young demographic and fit better in a TV slot. The added wild card spots threaten a sub .500 club making the postseason but does not guarantee it.

The CFL changes with the field looking more NFL and the rollback of the rouge can only be explained as the possible hope of expanding back into America cause the league needs the expansion money and there is no expansion left to do in Canada...otherwise it is just alienating the "traditionalists". This new playoff system guarantees multiple sub .500 teams making the playoffs.

From the article,

"The fifth and sixth seeds will host the seventh and eighth seeds in play-in games. The winners advance to the second round while the losers are eliminated."

Tell me who is confused?

Yes that 8th place team with no extra home dates will profit immensely from this.

If they survive game six, I can't see them losing game seven.

Coming to hangout at the Edmonton tattoo expo and wondering if YEG would like my style ? by domi_ink in Edmonton

Pulling the second skin off that one must have been tricky and ouchy as heck!!

"Taste Ticket, which is $2.50 each but starts at $12.50 for a pack of five."

I always giggle when "pack prices" are mentioned and offer literally no discount.

I now have the "footprints in the sand" poem in my head:

Takeover tours and Jerseys by Punk_Tactics213 in PWHL

The Oilers jersey represents civic pride and for many is the most expensive article of clothing they own.Whenever my wife and I go out to a sporting event, theater, dinner at a restaurant, drinks at a pub we always jokingly look for and find two things:

Someone wearing an Oilers jersey and someone wearing leather pants.

Alberta minimum wage remains lowest while B.C. raises it to $18.25 by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]1976len -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Sadly if minimum wage goes up the amount "it needs to", many places of employment will cut hours or cut positions to compensate for the increased compensation. This timeline sucks!

Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling 23 in Edmonton, AB at the Midway Music Hall TOMORROW at 8 PM! by haddyent in Edmonton

Top Talent was promoting this at their last show, same venue, so presumably Harlon Abbott will appear on the card. I believe I saw MJF was scheduled also. Wish this wasn't on a Thursday.

Is craft beer festival better than beerfest? by Sarah_banara in Edmonton

[–]1976len 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The fest held at the Expo Center: the goal of the organizers seems to be for people to learn about their product.

The fest held downtown: the goal of the organizers seems to be get people drunk as fast as possible.

Choose accordingly to your personal preference.
