8:00pm near 25th and Wanamaker in Topeka, KS. Not sure what this is exactly. Looked like a wall cloud but I didn’t notice any rotation. Cool looking, even if just an SLC. #kswx

@Fan960Steinberg Just thought I’d throw out a wild idea. Use it on the show if you want.

Who says no?

To Calgary: #1 overall pick (Michael Misa)

To Utah: Anderson (extended), Kadri (50% retained), #18 overall

To NYI: #4 overall pick (Hagins), Brzustewicz

Got to give to get

@CHAPPIKA38 Oh my gosh, so cute!!

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@Sportsnet960 just fyi, the online broadcast of the Flames game in Abbotsford is staying with the mic feed from Derek & Meghan instead of going to the commercial feed. I don’t mind but wanted to let you know that their mics are still live when they probably think they’re not.

550pm, heavy rain and pea size hail at 27th and Wanamaker in Topeka

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

Thank you @evergypower crews for your hard work overnight so that we could have power this morning and during the heat of the day.

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@Fan960Steinberg I wonder if they could’ve gotten a better return at last year’s trade deadline or by waiting for this year’s deadline? The return feels a little underwhelming but maybe that’s the cap hit impact.

@NWSTopeka Near 29th and Wanamaker in Topeka. At 940ish I started seeing the aurora looking to the north about 45 degrees up from the horizon.

@NWSTopeka Sirens went off in SW Topeka. Oops.

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@hontom0 This is awesome!

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@z1t_vi Very cute and unique!

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@haru_harugaya2 Wow, that’s so detailed and gorgeous!!

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@cityoftopeka The main roads have been cleared really well. I’m actually kinda surprised how well, given the challenge.

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@cityoftopeka Thank you for the information. Just a friendly thought. Though it is a precautionary step, it would have been nice to get an email from the city. I only found out from a friend or I’d still be oblivious. I get emails about bill payment so that list should exist.

@yupo__0322 How... how are they so cute!?!

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

P2, deterrents: d-zone faceoff? Too weak. Penalty (touching player or bench minor), might be enough. Penalty shot? Extreme but very strong deterrent. To keep the speed element of OT, have a penalty shot but with a defensive chaser. Just some ideas.

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@PDOcast listened to the pod about OT 3v3 rule changes. A shot clock idea to avoid whistles: if the shot clock runs out, the offensive team can't touch the puck like a hand pass or high stick. Touching the puck would need a sufficient deterrent to avoid whistles. P1

The confidence of Zary & Martin really shows the difference it makes to performance. JH can get a mental refresh w/ Wranglers then return to help the Flames. Much better than scratching him or a second benching. Hopefully good for player & both teams. Benefit of AHL in CGY.

[Chris Wierman @EColonelson]

@FlamesNation
Novel idea: Send Huberdeau to the AHL on a mental conditioning stint, w/ player permission. Can't waive JH b/c NMC. Let him score points & soak in confidence w/ the red hot Wranglers. With AHL in CGY, JH can stay w/ his family too; not a hotel in a new city.
