So, since July...
Connor's Agent -> Oilers CEO
Connor's Jr Linemate -> Oilers UFA splash
Connor's Jr. Coach -> Oilers Head Coach
Has McJ gone full LeBron?
It was last Thankgiving we went for a hike because Jodie thought it might make her stomach feel better.
It was a year ago today she called from emergency at 5:00 am to tell me she had Colon Cancer.
Today we're more appreciative than ever for all we have.
I think I've found the worst text we've ever received at

To play devil's advocate, isn't hockey's slogan right now "hockey is for everyone". Wouldn't that include racist people? The slogan should be "hockey is for everyone. As long as you play by our rules"

Strong message sent to the IOC. Calgary joins Denver, Boston, Stockholm, Oslo, Vienna, Hamburg, Innsbruck, Munich and other DEMOCRATIC & First World cities to say no to a broken model - start sharing the risk associated with hosting.

Anytime you can get a guy who has traded Seguin, Hall, Wheeler in their prime, turned Eberle into Sam Gagner, inked a goalie with less than 30 starts for 13.5MM, and turned a 1st & a 2nd into Griffin Reinhart, you do what it takes.
Disappointing from JP Barry and Kylington in my personal opinion.
Flames couldn't have treated the player and issue with more respect or privacy.
The player's camp spoke about gratitude and thanks, but actions haven't yet matched their words.
Still time for them to right that
Very surreal to hear

sign off for his last shift

He would often refer to himself as a “side car” meaning he was never the main host of a show at 960. It’s bullshit because he didn’t need his name in the title to be the star of the show.
Can CSEC acknowledge the massive boost to revenues and franchise value(s) this building will provide? Yes, it's nice for the city. No, there isn't a single entity with more to gain from it being built that CSEC itself. 5/6 other Canadian rinks were built with 0 public dollars.
22 games into his NHL career, Connor Zary NOT looking like a rookie.
I was stunned to see how strong his defensive play has been. That said, his line with 91-67 has been excellent.

What a miserable roadie for the Flames.
5 non-playoff teams from last season. 1-3-1 record.
Blown leads in PIT/WSH.
Scored more than 2 goals just once (their only win).
10 & 91 look like 22/23 editions.
D-zone is yikes.
Markstrom and the PK the only silver linings????
Carey Price showing he is one of the classiest athletes in all of sports. The young man (Anderson) idolizes Price and his mother, before dying of cancer, promised she would try to help them meet. It finally happened. Both feel the emotion as Anderson’s dream finally comes true.
"He's not a racist, he just said racist things!!!!"
I read dozens of versions of this on our text line over the last two days...
There are not enough facepalm emojis.
~Sigh~
Rasmus Andersson on our postgame show: They’ve got a lot of pretenders out there. It’s really nice to beat those guys.
That’s one of the biggest coward moves I’ve ever seen from Kassian. We make guys like that pay. That was a coward move…that’s the kind of player he is.

MacKenzie Weegar, reportedly signed to an 8x$6.25M extension by CGY, has been one of the league's top two-way defencemen in the past three seasons. On top of his high-end transition game and 5v5 play-driving, he's been an elite rush and in-zone defender.

@salimvalji
So, you owe nothing to the people that went above and beyond in your darkest hour and time of need? The people you credited wjtj with saving your career?
Just say some nice words and chase dollars?
Baaaaaaad look.
Seeing lots of people upset the Flames made ZERO July 1 transactions.
Given the track record of July 1 signings, I'd strongly encourage people to reconsider that take!
Also, yo Matty Phillips, where we at?
It’s Miikka Kiprusoff night at Scotiabank Saddledome tomorrow night. Pleased to say our guest on After Hours will be Miikka who’ll be joined by Rhett Warrener and Robyn Regehr. Questions?

Re: Gaudreau's next deal / UFA contracts 🧵
Many people pointing out a player making 10M has never won the cup. That's misleading.
The cap changes every year. We need to look at Cap % to compare apples to apples not dollars.
10M in 2022-23 will be a 12.12% cap hit.
