Response via text from an NHL player agent when I asked about Oilers coaching rumour…
“The opportunity to play with McDavid or Draisaitl is diminished with the potential to be coached by Babcock. It is a valid concern voiced to me by a few of my clients.”
While I agree with this, we can't blame the refs for the team not being able to hold a lead or line match because the coach doesn't believe in it. It's just not our year and the play reflects it.
Alberta's DST *is* double DST.
We belong in UTC -8. We are currently in UTC -6 on MDT.
Solar noon in Grande Prairie is 1:54 pm!
As the OP said, Russia tried this experiment and reversed it due to soaring depression.
@ABDanielleSmith, it's not to late to avoid making the same mistake!
Anaheim was rock solid, not taking anything away from them, but the Oilers also did a whole lot of shooting their own toes off in that loss. Clean those details up. #PrayForMcDavid
As Premier Danielle Smith appears poised to bring permantn DST to Alberta, a reminder that Albertans voted against adopting Daylight Saving Time in a referendum in 2021.
This is how @AndrewKnack & his #yegcc crew are destroying business in #yeg. Instead of managing his payroll, capital expenditures & social unrest - he solves problems by crushing small business. At least @kprincipeyeg gets it.
Edm is 20-4-2 (.808%) when they get league avg goaltending this season.
Edm would have a 40 - 18 - 9 (4th) record with league avg QS% (53.3%).
If you are asking how much difference goaltending would make for Edm... that, that is how much.
Frederic’s second goal since Olympic break. He’s looked much closer to the player they thought he could be.
His best stretch of games as an Oiler.
And Dach gets his first point. Play him more than one minute in a period.
Now that the Oilers have acquired the depth Players needed to line-match it’s becoming pretty clear that Kris Knoblauch doesn’t actually know how to line-match.
