I'm a technology manager in education. I'm a photographer who chases the Aurora & I love outdoors. I cycle lots and watch a lot of sports. I enjoy my coffee.

@Oil_Drop I watched the last half of the game last night and realized the Habs were still playing hockey is because of their goalie. How come the Oilers can't find one of those? If they had a Dobes they still might be playing

@KabiMoulitharan & @SKomadinaGlobal why does @GlobalEdmonton spend so much time covering the separation group when the Canada group that finished their signatures had more and no one talks about them. Ask the UCP why that question isn't being added to the referendum #ABpoli

@mathewjdp But then the ref comes back to give Dostal a warning.

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@Oil_Drop I had that discussion with someone yesterday. We were always told the veteran team will always get the calls over the younger teams but we have seen quite the opposite this series

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@GlenMah I think I did that right. Hopefully

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

Here's a thought for the #LetsGoOilers. How about hiring Cassidy as an assistant coach? Use him like Gulutzan on the bench.

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@thackattack41 We should expect that when Chris Rooney is one of the refs

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@Oil_Drop They made about 5 errors in selection. At least 2 at the back, maybe 3 and at least 2 or 3 up front. Best on Best means taking the best

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

Your foot soldiers are going to help win you games at the NHL level where the talent is spread out but seriously, how are they going to help you win at best on best. Best on best means sending the BEST!! #TeamCanada

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

I hope that both the Men's and Womens managment groups for #TeamCanada hockey have learned a valuable lesson. You have to take your best players for these tournaments and not give spots to good soldiers. Plain and Simple!! #Olympics2026

@KevinMcCurdy Something is going on with the D and the team D in general too. Something needs to change

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@KevinMcCurdy @kimpelletierr Yes, Janmark had the high stick but Matthews should also have been called for interference

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@ExtraLars Totally agree. Most have no idea what it would take to become a separate country.

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

Not sure what the rest of you #LetsGoOilers fans think about the trade but I really don't like it. We all know that Skinner has his days but Jarry isn't much better and injury prone. What are you going to do if he gets injured? Pickard isn't getting you to the playoffs. SMH 🤦‍♂️

Who had 5:30 on their betting slip for the time of today's power outage in #Yellowknife? I had 7:00 on mine

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

Ok @nakapower_nwt, this is becoming ridiculous. 4 power failures in the last 3 days. You charge us all enough to make sure this doesn't happen. Get you act together. #Yellowknife #poweroutage

@bcurlock Here are some travel numbers by the end of November:
New York Rangers: 49,847 km - Most traveled
Edmonton Oilers: 47,913 km - Second most
Toronto Maple Leafs: 9,646 km - Dramatically less!

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@GlenMah Yep, the Skinny Red Kid made some big saves or it would have been much worse

[Martin Male @EclecticBlogs]

@Morley_Scott the CFL wants us to wait and see about the changes but once they are done and teams have paid to modify playing fields they can't go back. I've watched games for 60 years and I think this will kill our game. This feels like the failed bring USA teams in move.

The #Elks will be eliminated and be an afterthought soon as the #NHL season starts
