I take it as a win when a student attaches the following note to their essay - “This was the light in the middle of my overwhelmingly boring essays.” #AcademicTwitter #bonusmarks

Was in Row 2 right by the home team's penalty box. Amazing ending!

The @NHL has the worst level of officiating of any of the pro sports - and it's not even close.

Agreed, but I think too many times, the 'smart' numbers are not allowed to be played out enough. I really admire Knoblauch in many ways, but his treatment and deployment of young players along with his line and pair matching seems haphazard and chaotic at times.

I just look at the numbers. There are people inside the Oilers org that do it better than I do by lightyears and have better data to boot.

Are we witnessing the Alex Regula pop in real time. Still work to do on skating and defensive rush reads but he and Nurse are driving possession, he makes 3-4 puck plays a game that widen the eyes and now is playing 20 minutes plus per game.

UK suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst was a trained artist and in 1907 created several watercolours depicting women workers in factories, mills and potteries to highlight working women’s rights, their pay and conditions #WomensArt

Keep it coming. Great analysis with insights galore.
Happy Easter. If the turkey doesn’t help you nap, how about 3300 words on the tactical breakdown of the 4th Kings-Oilers series.

It was amazing. Was there in Row 2 right beside the penalty box. We kept saying, "Why are people leaving?" Oilers were not in it until the final push. Magical.

This game is burned in my brain. People were ripping up their tickets and leaving… then tried getting back in and couldn’t! Never give up on your team!

These @EdmontonOilers Fwd lines are as balanced as any lineup since the 80s. Pick your poison in trying to shut them down.

We have 350-375 unhoused people and only 127 shelter spaces — leaving many without shelter.
With the extreme cold, this has become an urgent situation.
This morning I am urging senior leadership and the Mayor to open an emergency shelter immediately, using City facilities.
This is not easy to do over the holidays, and it’s not cheap — but we desperately need to act before someone freezes to death.

Yes, if it doesn't improve soon (team save %) it will require actions - not sure what choices the club will have...

Murray has always walked into dark places with a flashlight so the rest of us can safely follow. A beam of light that cuts through injustice and shows the way to hope. Sending prayers and gratitude to him and his family who continue to be so generous in sharing him with all of us🧡
As shared publicly on Facebook, the family of the Honourable Murray Sinclar has shared that he is unwell, that he is in serious and unstable condition. -- Asking for prayers from across NDN country, including allies, supporters, friend, and really any life he has touched, which is countless.
He has served us as lawyer, judge, Senator and Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A lifetime of bringing justice, truth and fairness for Indigenous peoples and those who have suffered in many capacities.
From his rulings, to his day to day wisdom he shares with us on social media, to the power Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has given over and over again.
Let's pray hard in anyway that you do for him and his family, for this truly wondering human being - Justice, Judge, Senator - the honourable Murray Sinclair.
