July 7th, 2007 - Sidney Crosby signs a 5 year extension with Pittsburgh at $8.7m per season. $43.5m total.

July 3rd, 2026 - Leo Carlsson signs a 5 year offer sheet with Philadelphia at $18m per season. $90m total.

The Pittsburgh way; the Philly way.

Looks like the fun police have struck again in Alberta, this time targeting people trying to enjoy a pint.

This last-minute hike before Stampede will raise the minimum price of a beer from $3.20 to $5, a 60% increase. The provincial government will negatively affect thousands of workers and create additional problems for bars and restaurants already facing higher costs.

Many major provinces successfully support thriving brewing and hospitality industries without raising minimum drink prices by this much. Alberta’s brewing industry is one of our signature success stories. It supports local jobs, attracts visitors, and gives communities something to be proud of.

The Premier and AGLC should reconsider these changes and work with operators to find a solution that balances responsible service with the economic and cultural benefits these businesses bring to our province.

@letangcult @killinger_95944 @frednashpgh Just redundant commentary, that’s all. Yeah most AHL players don’t translate success to the NHL. That’s why they’re in the AHL?

But you never know. The youngins always have potential. That’s where the excitement comes from. Hope!

@Jakecook7114 @JFreshHockey In a tied elimination game? At the end of a period when scoring chances have been put to rest? Officials have set a standard in this game; they are taking one.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@Lethmark84 @JFreshHockey My bad. Was merely looking at the upload date!

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@JFreshHockey @pensroadwarrior Idk man. There’s definitely an element of nostalgia here, but they’re pretty inoffensive in my opinion. Prefer them to the old robo-penguin jerseys.

They maybe lack originality. Could argue they are boring, etc.

But to see them wear the kits one last time? Come onnn

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@ARAnalytics The way in which that kind of behaviour presents at different ages is typically different.

Many different angles here, but can we admit you are making an observational assumption that is unfair? Using clip A as evidence to make your statement? Comes off pretty unprofessional.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@ARAnalytics Yes, concussions can have cognitive impact to the extent of impacting personality over time. But using this clip as if it is some bone fide example of “what he used to be like”… Every 20 something year old has goofball moments. Same can be said for a 30+ year old.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@JFreshHockey @cudasbob @puckempire Could chill out with the NMCs as well

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@Soulslayer434 @ChialikeIllGrow @MikeBartner Sid is soon to be 39 years old. I understand the argument/observation to an extent. But “why do people care about this? Others are going to accomplish this too!” is a pretty mute point lol. Especially when the “others” are McDavid and Celebrini lol. Generational type players.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@JoshYohe_PGH Why change what’s working? Bouncing around has not worked well for him in recent years (until this season). Just wonder about superstitions for a player like him.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@JoshYohe_PGH Lots of talk about Mantha as of late. In my opinion, extending him medium to long-term at a significant hit is dangerous. But for a player like him, who has struggled with health and consistency over the years… Do you think his interest in resigning could outweigh chasing money?

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@AGretz He doesn’t handle physicality well. Loses a lot of battles. Easily disrupted. Excels with quick give and go plays; layups for the third/high forward. Hard to justify paying a player like him anything more than 3M. Ideally a third line playmaker. Love him when he’s good.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@AGretz I think he’s a great distributor. Awesome when he has time and space. Works with Malkin and Chinakov well. But he isnt particularly strong in creating off offensive zone setups. Rush oriented for sure. Decent complimentary player, but not adaptive. He is what he is, I suppose,

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@LassStats @yolo_pinyato Your statement invites conversation. I remember the 2010-2014 era of Fleury strongly, because I was very very frustrated as a fan. 2008, 2009 and 16/17 are different stories. He was essential in those runs. Big game goalie. Merely countering with some historical context.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@LassStats @yolo_pinyato I just think there’s a contradiction in your initial statement. “When they needed him to be” vs “most clutch goalie of all time” vs “in the salary cap era”. There were several playoff runs where Flower was not himself. When stars were out, they NEEDED him to be good. He wasn’t.

[Tate Laycraft @TateLaycraft]

@JFreshHockey @LassStats Fleury was a high and low goalie. When he was ON, he was fantastically unique. Flexible, athletic, charismatic.

But the playoffs were not kind to him in that era. He was rattled very easily. One bad goal generally lead to others.

I dont think it’s unfair to remember that.
