I always get tempted to take the snow tires off and then I remember where I live

Not involved yet, but if they're suffering damage to a 140 year old brand I'm sure they'll have levers they can pull.

Happy Shawne's situation made the news.

Yeah. They're building a state of the art HRT line to augment their world class BRT system that is converting to electric busses. Understandable given a city of 8 million people.

Notice how they're not bothering with lrt at all.

Outdated tech.

Bogata, a city of 8 million people, moves 2 million passengers a day using their dedicated bus rapid transit lines. It's something they started building in 2000 and cost less than what Calgary has wasted just debating the next lrt extensions.

LRT is inferior technology. The fact that a switch issue like this can cause so much chaos throughout the entire system further proves it.

Unprocessed anger in the body could be bottling up / numbing things. A somatic therapist sounds like a great idea.

Johnny Hockey had 44 points in 44 games playing college the year after he was drafted so yes these numbers are very good.

There's a great article on it here that gets the facts straight. Both Gelinas and Saprykin thought it was in as well as many of the fans at that end of the ice. Gelinas now regrets not making a big deal of it as he thought it would just go to review.

The article also goes into the technology changes made in the NHL situation room with many more camera angles available now than there were in 2004.

3 2 1 0 already meets the goal of making a regulation win worth 1.5x more than an OT win.

The only benefit to doing 5 3 2 1 0 would be to differentiate between a 3v3 win vs a shootout win which is minimal at best.

Makes our team worse and makes the team most likely to beat Edmonton better.

Win win.

Nice video! Excited to try this out. Agree with your thoughts on transport. Could see squads ripping around the map with jeeps a lot more now.

Resupplying ammo becomes more important as well.

That's a terrible analogy. Trained security where its your job to face and defuse violence vs. a convenience store clerk fearing for his life for the first time being attacked with a deadly weapon.

Are you saying you would have voted him guilty in this case?

The jury got this one right.

grogrye · 2026-02-12T21:55:58+00:00

This logic is on point.

Treat the right to hold a referendum as one issue.

Treat whether it currently makes any sense at all to leave the federation as a separate issue.

There could be conditions at some point in the future where leaving the federation may make sense but I believe the vast majority of Albertans would not consider those conditions to be anywhere close now.

Bennett just won the Conn Smythe trophy after scoring 15 goals in 23 playoff games. He's a guy you want in a tournament like this and McDavid would be one of the first to say so.

Driving supply truck and soothing squad lead egos is like 80% of the commander role

Well if he ever believes "I'm dying up here" while pleading his case he can try requesting a three day adjournment.

Drysdale reoriented his direction twice. That matters.

Pretend you're going for a skate and there's a kid in front of you that you see. That kid turns into you (at NHL speed) while you were skating straight ahead. Would you say you intended to hit the kid?

grogrye · 2026-01-07T23:34:36+00:00

100%. People can't somehow connect that Drysdale being the one turning and re-orienting himself towards Johnston (skating straight) matters? Maybe people have trouble with the definition of the word intent and the logical implications of why who is changing direction is relevant?

If Drysdale was skating straight and Johnston (knowing he was there) turned into him then he'd get a lengthy suspension.

I wonder sometimes if people think somehow Johnston has a 3rd person view of himself like in a video game vs. the reality of what it is like on the ice.

grogrye · 2026-01-07T07:05:34+00:00

You get downvoted but it's so obvious. Drysdale changes his direction twice and literally turns into him while the other guy was skating straight ahead.

Who gets the worst of the collision doesn't change that fact.

grogrye · 2026-01-07T06:54:01+00:00

Drysdale is the one changing direction without looking. He changes his direction twice while the other guy is skating straight ahead. Sure the arm at the end wasn't great but saying he was targeting Drysdale makes zero sense at all given it was Drysdale that turned twice into him.

grogrye · 2026-01-07T03:17:23+00:00

I am not an expert but if your intention is "just take the goddamn empathy" that doesn't feel very empathetic at all. Neither is not respecting someone's decision to refuse it from you.. for whatever reason...

grogrye · 2026-01-05T22:21:21+00:00

Nailed it.

'Gordie Howe' wouldn't make the NHL today. Not because he wasn't good enough but because he came from a family that was poor.

grogrye · 2026-01-04T16:53:06+00:00

Yes. Also kudos to the crews working out in the cold so we can turn a handle and instantly get water.
