Farmer turned chemist turned bureaucrat. Master Of One. Tweets my own.

The biggest reason that men don't want a woman in the White House is because they know that once that happens, they may never get it back again.

I’m going to show my daughter the clip of Jeannine Beckie in tonight’s game as the perfect play. Doesn’t score a goal, no assist. Just pure heart and determination and the only reason Canada wins that game.

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

Here’s the “Janine Beckie play”. It’s utterly incredible. It’s Derek Jeter & the toss to Posada in the 2001 ALDS.

I still can’t believe it. It should be leading every sportscast that she did this. #CANWNT

They can take a picture of a quarter from space but the NHL is still using disposable camera-quality technology to determine if a goal was scored.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

The return isn’t great but trading a guy with an NTC means you aren’t dealing with any leverage. Best they could probably get from a team he’s willing to go to, and better than keeping him until a free walk in July. #Sens

Pet peeve - people who sit in their seat until their bus stop and then push past everyone to leave and get angry with the driver. Looking at you, Karen.

The @Senators are on a tough road trip at a difficult time but man, where is the compete level? Something has to change and soon or else we’re flushing another season.

@DerrickSimpson_ Montreal.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

How is it ok for the city to not just crank my taxes after a renovation but also back date it by 18 months AND ask for full payment in 60 days?!!!?

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

@TSNSteveLloyd That is a big hearted player.

To recap: The NHL strips the Sens of a 1st, because they did not disclose all the details in a transaction.
But when the NHL brokered the sale of the team to Andlauer, they did not … disclose all the details in that transaction.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

@SouthCanadaDad @TOmaverick Hockey is great. The NHL sucks.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

So the Sens traded a guy to a team as permitted by his contract, but are somehow still responsible for what the next team does with him? Why isn't the problem that Vegas didn't check the terms of the contract they just purchased? This is very dumb.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

DJ Smith not telling Forsberg he was going to sit the 3rd should be the final straw. How embarrassing.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

@sboots Or take that great, innovative idea and turn it into a program. Then it will be reported on regularly, stifling the very initiative that brought it to life.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

@sboots Love the statement about how the public service is designed to resist change. Got a new idea? Better run that through as many committees as we can to make sure we bludgeon it to death, and delay it, regardless of how much sense it makes.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

Glad to see the NHL maximizing viewership by starting all games at the same time.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

Sens fans best be ready for all those angry Jays fans coming to games and showing off their jerseys.

[Burt James @SubPhunktion]

Best case, Ontario. Karlsson lands in the East so you get to watch him a lot but not in your Division when he plays with multiple future Hall of Fame superstars and they dissect your team.

Also, this is one of the best passes of all time.
