@dstaples @edmontonjournal This is mostly about the Oilers’ history of drafting d-men in the later rounds, which is useful as a background discussion. But, I was expecting details about the individual prospects listed - it felt like part of the article was missing because you only mentioned one player

Hey @Sportsnet can #LetsGoOilers fans have an alternate broadcast with @EdmontonJack and @LouDeBrusk calling the SCF? You’ve had HNIC in Punjabi, ASL, and Leafs with Steve Dangle live. You have multiple channels, so could you have the same broadcast with different commentators?

Completely lost in all the chaos of this goal is that it looks like Henrique goes between his legs to score #LetsGoOilers

Hard hats are on tonight 👷‍♂️ #LetsGoOilers

@LeafSingh @lilkd4wg Fun fact - in their entire franchise history of 107 years, the Leafs have never won three best-of-seven playoff rounds. All their cup wins were two rounds, except 1931-32 when they won a two-game quarterfinal series against Chicago on goal differential.

my baby cousins. their names are razan and nouran allouh. israeli tanks shot at and killed them while they were trying to fill a bucket with water inside the gates of their home. my uncle ahmad allouh, their father, went and lay between their bodies before he was shot and killed.

Maybe the #Oilers are trying to get another first overall pick as insurance in case Draisaitl and/or McDavid don’t re-sign 🤷🏽‍♂️ #LetsGoOilers

"I can't breathe."
During the 2021-22 season, a Black hockey player on a U15 AAA team in Gatineau, Quebec, was allegedly forced to the ground by a teammate who pressed their knee on the player's neck.
The Black player was only released after repeating the final words of George Floyd, who was murdered by Minneapolis police in 2020.
The locker room incident was detailed in a Hockey Quebec investigation report obtained by Le Droit's @justinemercier.
The report documented at least 14 instances of "racist gestures and remarks" by six players and criticized both the hockey organization and the team's head coach, who continues to coach minor hockey.
The report noted two Black players have since left the team.

In this video, provided to me by a relative on site, you can see the destruction at Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza. The ancient sanctuary remains standing, but the church annex, which includes offices and meeting spaces for the Christian community, collapsed from an Israeli airstrike, killing multiple members of three connected Orthodox Christian families, who are my relatives. They are my dad’s first cousins and their spouses, children, and in-laws. May their memories be eternal.

A married couple and their newborn daughter were among the 18 Palestinians killed when an Israeli air attack hit Gaza’s oldest church.

A Palestinian pastor has called the bombing of Saint Porphyrius, where hundreds were sheltering, a ‘war crime’ ⤵️

In 2022, while living in Tunisia as part of a JHR placement, I interviewed the cameraman who filmed Shireen Abu Akleh's murder -- as well as Palestinian journalists who knew her.

My newsroom spiked the story.

But I still have my notes, from my interviews.

Here they are.
