It's rough riders vs roughriders, pretty sure.

Lived in Taiwan for 10 years, banking was such a crazy amount of hassle. Only open between 9am and 3pm, 45 minutes to wire money home, every time, no matter how often I did the exact same thing. Wasn't even able to online bank until my last couple years there.

I have a hockey chat group where guys constantly bitch about the liberals and how the gov't sucks because of their healthcare. I have to constantly remind them that that's a provincial responsibility and they live in BC and Alberta, so... What does that tell them?

Where the hell were all these goals last game?

Nice to see someone besides 97/29/18/2 is allowed to score for Edmonton again though.

Looking forward to this album 👍

ive kind of reached the point where i think if youre still posting on musk's thingie youve got a mental problem and should think about that

I think Trump just said "fuddle duddle."

All cellos? Yeah I'll check it out.

It'd sure be something if someone other than 97/29/18/2 could score for Edmonton. Every now and then.

I know the name. Haven't really listened, thought they were more symphonic metal, not really my thing.

Eagles of Death Metal?

I think it's most an alphabetical listing, so not entirely a headliner, but yeah. Mostly supposed to be about different forms of heavy music rather than metal. Last year one of my fav discoveries from it was a guy who just plays cello. Very metal cello though I guess.

Big fan of RC, I'll give those guys a listen.

You aware of the Prepare The Ground festival in Toronto end of May?

Yeah I get why they didn't take him. I just think they should have.

I had this argument with a friend who doesn't watch many Oilers games but is sure Bouch is awful defensively, made me realize a big part of the narrative is social media clips that get passed around.

I think he makes mistakes. I think every dman does. His are often obvious, but a mistake is a mistake whether it's obvious or not, and it's the same result if it ends up in the back of the net.
EB contributes more to winning than most other CAN dmen out there. That's all.

Sure, it's just... You can make that narrative about a lot of players. It becomes self fulling. It's what everyone knows about that guy, so stuff gets reposted when it happens, and it seems more obvious every time.

Fine, sure, I'm saying it shouldn't be that way.

I'm saying the narrative that he's awful defensively doesn't really bear out. It's a narrative, so every time there's a low light of him it gets blasted around social media. It's self fulling.

Oh I'm aware it's not given any weight. I'm saying maybe it should be though. EB has the goalie behind him rocking an 882sv%, maybe that has something to do with the lowlights against him. No one makes a reel of him getting stripped and the goalie saving it.

I mean, that very graphic shows him at better than average 5v5. He's Makar insurance too.
Sometimes you want to defend a lead, sometimes you need to score a goal. He's the 2nd best Canadian dman offensively.

Evan Bouchard should be on Team Canada.

Now that the team Canada Olympic squad has been released, it's time for your 2nd most ancipated list of the day: my favourite albums of 2025. #metalsky
Sort of in order but not. Lots of post metal again, as I tend to lean. Not quite as good a year as last year, but it got better as the year went.

There aren't really any other replacement level players on team Canada, so yeah...

Injury was a convenient excuse.

Does Ciarelli make it if he's not on Jon Cooper's team?

Some strong haterade here.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

11/10 album

His kid.

Just had that Bruit album on an hour ago or so. What an ending track.

Then he took a penalty.

Local boy Brady Martin scores his 2nd of the game. Can't let the game go to OT, he's gotta get home to Elmira to feed the cows.
