Loving this, but tearing my allegiances - a daughter working for the @PWHL_Ottawa and a team in Hamilton.
BREAKING: The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) is finalizing a deal to expand to Hamilton, Ontario, becoming the latest city to receive an expansion franchise after Detroit was announced on Wednesday morning.

Five-and-two-thirds games into this EDMvsANA series, and my main takeaway is the #Oilers are lacking the kind of grit and sandpaper that a Corey Perry or an Evander Kane bring to the playoffs. If only they had players like that …..

In the midst of Maul: Shadow Lord and with Mandalorian and Grogu coming up, sat down to watch Phantom Menace (for who knows how many times). For as much of this movie that just isn’t that good, Duel of the Fates makes up for all of it and then some. #StarWars #StarWarsGeek

Nine years ago, there were egregious calls - or non calls - that benefitted the Ducks. Don’t want any of that this year, for either team. Win fair and square.

Nine years ago, the upstart Oilers met the grizzled Ducks in the playoffs. Now, the two franchises will meet again — but this time, the roles are reversed. (@SportsnetSpec) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/oil…

I'm onboard for this.
Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

Hey guys, it’s Ernie. Before the season starts, I had some thoughts for @BlueJays fans I wanted to share. Thanks for reading theplayerstribune.com/ernie-…

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell.
Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

If we are going to bring NHL players to the Olympics, may as well have NHL-calibre officiating as well. This is the kind of thing that should be reviewable ... but also, where the hell was the Canadian bench? Should have been screaming at the refs about the too many men.
Czechia had six skaters on the ice during this entire sequence. That’s how bad the officiating was today and that’s how close we came to a national riot.

An absolute no-brainer. For years it has been driving me crazy that all the Blue Jays commemorate outside SkyDome is Ted Rogers. There is so much history for this team to celebrate and this is the right place to start.

Smart strategy - using big words so the occupant of the White House doesn’t know he’s being dragged.
But in all seriousness, and as objective as I can be, this was a good speech.

CARNEY: "If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate. Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships."
