@cselley Hi Chris, the city doesn't have "extra lifeguards lying around" they have human beings willing to work on a part-time, standby basis to help make ends meet who are deployed when called upon.
In case folks havenβt thought this through, with that win Thursday in Dallas, the Edmonton Oilers have now won more playoff games than any other team.
Skinner dinner! Feasting on the opposition and savouring the silence of all his doubters and naysayers. Here's my latest piece for Hockey HotStove.

He wrote of ice and skates that glide,
Of goals and grit and hometown pride.
He saw the game in every star,
A frozen pass, a world afar.
Now silence falls where stories grew,
But in the night skyβs deepest hu
A light still shines, both sharp and true,
We love the game he knew.
@dstaples This is absolutely heartbreaking news. Bruce was one of the finest hockey minds in this or any city, blending time-tested insight with a wealth of humanity, and it was always a privilege to hear you two discuss the game. Dearest condolences to you and his family.
