Edmonton’s brush with celebrity

Seen on the Oilers website: It became a sort of religion for me: blaze and watch “The Boys on the Bus” or any number of Gretzky profiles. And maybe I was just blazing too often, or maybe I simply needed someone/something to look up to for a change - someone or something...

Reading the entrails and contemplating truculence

I’ve been hung up on the faceoffs in the games I’ve seen so far this year and last night was no different. I kind of had a sense that things weren’t going well when I was at the game in Buffalo, Stortini was taking draws and when I checked Lowetide’s site after...

Knee on knee hits

Something I’ve always wondered about…why would anyone throw a knee on knee hit intentionally? Even if you have no respect for the safety of the other players on the ice, who wants to risk their own knee? I’ve always thought these sorts of plays were largely instinctive...

The easiest way to exceed expectations? Lower them.

If you haven’t read it, David Staples had an excellent interview with Pennerite Derek Zona a few weeks back. It’s worth reading. I thought that the following passage was particularly interesting: I don’t think there is a single reason as to why [the fans being down...

The bleak present provides an opportunity to consider past mistakes

I’m having a hard time bringing myself to writing anything about the Edmonton Oilers. It really feels, on the basis of the first quarter’s returns, that this is going be year four of the rebuilding process, without getting any closer to having been rebuilt. Blogging about...

Law and Order

As a bleeding heart liberal on justice issues, as well as a data guy, I thought that John Geddes’ piece on the MacLeans website explaining just how unevidence based the Tories’ justice policies are was well worth passing on. Also worth reading if you’re interested...

Irrational Exuberance

From Lowetide’s HFesque 6-2-1 revelry thread: The team must have a great locker-room right now given a) the wins and b) how well they’re compensating for each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Some stats might be unsustainable, but honestly, those can be compensated...

Gone Travellin’

After an absolutely horrendous four weeks, I’m about to get on a plane for Europe for two weeks. Hockey season starts when I return, as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for the kind invites to grab a drink while I was in Kitchener - I saw them and would have taken advantage if [...]
