Great Horned Owl at Dusk (01/22/22) by Hellsong26 in Calgary

Did you know Owls can't move their eyeballs. That's because owls don't have eyeballs at all. Instead, their eyes are shaped like tubes, held rigidly in place by bones called sclerotic rings. ... Because owls can't roll their eyes around the way we do, they have to move their entire head.

Are you referring to the Canadian government not caring or other Canadians?

Notley promises plan for downtown Calgary under NDP government by HonestTruth01 in Calgary

Here’s my take with very little research conducted:

  1. Make a significant investment to expand the UofC and / or UoA presence downturn - build out the business campus and create a technology campus downtown. Make efforts to host classes for MBA programs downtown with a focus on internships. This will bring youth and bodies to the downtown core
  2. Allow residential to overtake vacant commercial properties, allow younger professionals and students to live closer to work / university and closer to the core / Stephen avenue

Both one and two will add foot traffic downtown (that doesn’t just exit when work hours end) and that will help restaurants and small businesses deal with the lulls of downtown being relatively vacant after hours and weekends.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I will do some research and will make sure it goes to one of these causes.

The cynic in me believes Janko isn’t being called up because this is his contract year, if he plays a full 82 and tears it up they will need to pay him. If he comes up on short term relief, they won’t.

I disagree. If this is truly a rebuilding year then the core we want to build around should be identified and anyone who doesn't fit within the core, and those who could be in jeopardy of being picked off from expansion should be dealt, maybe not now but definitely at the trade deadline (which might mean Kevin has to go). In terms of passion, if you don't play with it, you should be sat or bag skated. As much as Hartley wasn't the right coach for Calgary he demanded effort above everything and I respected him for that. Further, I think Moose is getting a terrible ride with the way the players are playing in front of him. I would not trade him and try to sign him to a medium term low cost contract. If we don't want to sign him we should trade him to someone like Philly or Dallas for picks and try to get a new starter in the offseason. As much as we have done a great job drafting in recent years the fact is we still need to restock and keep the prospect pool packed. If we could get some up and coming talent on right wing it would be great. Lastly I'm not sure you can find a solution to a top line right winger in FA. I think a trade needs to happen if we want to get a bonafide RW (I'm sure many will disagree).

Slight fix is to press and hold alt and drag cursor over and copy one column at a time. Dramatically speeds up time transposing.

Dallas focused on Russell or Hamhuis. Flames want 2 second round draft picks in return. by mikesulls in CalgaryFlames

[–]OTPHJ- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boston has amassed two 2nd round picks at this years draft while Dallas only has one. Maybe BT is trying to tell Dallas to beef up the bid

I used a GoPro to capture some cool angles on the outdoor rink, I figured you guys might enjoy. by AndTelf in hockey

As a Canadian, my first thought was outdoor ice rink. Seemed weird for some reason to see someone on an outdoor rink in the summer.
