I like Vinny, he's really good in his own end, and adds some bite and toughness. I especially like him using his reach on the PK. He's had an up and down year, he looked pretty bad at the beginning of the year but has picked it up since then. I think he needs to work on his shooting, he's a big...

This isn't about Smith wanting to protect the province from undue federal influence as she says. Edmonton has already implemented the changes necessary to get the accelerator fund. This is about 2 things: 1 - Screwing over Edmonton 2 - Screwing over Trudeau (if the accelerator fund were at all...

Potential Oilers fwd line combos tomorrow without McD against the Knights: Holloway - Draisaitl - Foegele Henrique - Nugent-Hopkins - Hyman Kane - McLeod - Perry Janmark - Ryan - Brown I like leaving the bottom 6 intact, I like the way they're playing right now. For balance I put Draisaitl...

There was an ambulance parked beside and two paramedics heading onto Health Sciences / Jubilee platform today. They didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry though. Not sure what was happening there, anybody know about any disturbances at that station today?

He's decent, idk about the best. He's 10th among Oilers forwards in expected goals against, 10th in high danger chances against, 11th in high danger chances against. For more traditional stats, he's even on the year in plus/minus. On the offensive side: He's 12th in expected goals for, 9th...

Hopefully this is a Kawhi Leonard situation, though I do think he might be labouring a bit after the Calgary game, looked like he took a couple awkward falls and such. Hopefully nothing serious, best case scenario is they're just letting him rest a game or two from a nagging injury. I doubt it's...

I doubt Connor Brown comes out, he's been playing great lately, and actually scoring. My guess would be either Derek Ryan or Mattias Janmark. I'd rather sit Janmark, I think DR adds more in terms of his penatly killing and general versatility. Janmark is a decent puck carrier, but doesn't do...

Oilers looked tired which is understandable considering they as @TAS said, have played 3 games in 4 nights. On top of that, Calgary is playing with no pressure right now, and are super motivated to beat their provincial rivals. Definitely not an excuse for a flat performance, but could explain...

Oh the Urbanity also did an Alberta video! Edit: Just noticed this was also posted on another thread, oops.

Thanks @ChazYEG, I was really going in blind with a lot of the Latin American Cities as regrettably, I'm only really familiar with the big ones, especially in Brazil. I would say I sort of know what's up in Rio, Sao Paulo, Brasilia and maybe like Manaus, Recife and Salvador. Outside of those...

Could not have asked for a better response game, after getting embarrassed by Dallas, they go out and embarrass Colorado. Kane finally scores... twice. After playing what I thought was his worst game in a couple weeks. He was sucking for a while, then played good in the last few games before...

This is very true. I suspect the champ will come out of the west once again as a result. Unless whatever team makes it out is so injured and tired from playing all the various contenders. Even Nashville, who I would argue is the weakest team in the western playoff race recently went on a crazy...

A bit of intermission fun: How do you all see the other 31 teams in the NHL? I made a tier list to show how I see it: Oilers are obviously my favorite by far. 2nd Place Toss up are the teams I cheer for in any game except for if they play the Oilers. Like are teams I would be happy for them...

Understood, and apologies for the over zealous response. The list is primarily looking at what cities would be the best to live in. With emphasis on strong urbanist, economic, geographic and social metrics. If I were looking at what cities I would rather travel to the list would be completely...

Oh, thank goodness, Lord of All Things City, Ted is here to provide his much wanted opinion, and has once again chose to say it in the rudest, least productive way he possible can. I worked hard on that, and its based largely on factors that are either objective or have some kind of methodology...

Okay so far I've done scores for the following countries: - Canada - USA - Australia - New Zealand - Mexico - Brazil - Netherlands - Austria - Spain - UK - Germany - Italy - Sweden - Finland - Norway - Switzerland - Croatia - Poland - Japan - Singapore - Thailand - Malaysia I'm only going to...

What an ugly loss. I got home from work in the first intermission, watched the second and then stopped watching. Total collapse of the team at all aspects midway through that second period. I was having flashbacks to the season opener against the Canucks. Costly turnovers were the biggest...

Steve Kozari reffing tonight, expect another tilted game.

The Stars are a powerful offensive force. They have elite snipers in Robertson and Hintz, along with strong veterans like Joe Pavelski. They're the scariest team in the West (for the Oilers) imo. They're going to be able to generate plenty of chances, I'm a bit worried about how Pickard will do...

I think what's being missed here is that even though this building isn't the most compelling looking (and some might even say ugly), it is still a net positive for the city. It's adding a significant amount of new housing downtown, it's getting rid of a parking lot eyesore, it's something...
