I want to hope.

But Iโ€™m coming up on 20 years of doing this work and being on The periphery, observingโ€ฆ

I really donโ€™t know if Iโ€™ll see the change in my lifetime.

OPINION | Media needs to be better when it comes to covering the difficult issues in hockey | CBC Sports The SNL appearance by U.S. hockey players provided an opportunity to focus on hockey again, and offered audiences and fans some closure. But has anything really changed? As a journalist, I often ask: ...

It's time to talk about hockey media in Canada. Actually, it has been time for awhile. My thoughts on comments from Insiders, hockey media approaches, using language correctly, and accountability - or the lack of it.

Really well written.

Itโ€™s been another week(s) of listening to everyoneโ€™s responses / opinions about this.

Interesting that Elliotte didnโ€™t respond.

Respect the grind in the minor leagues. โ€œDid itโ€ for 15 years in Halifax (but was lucky enough to see a Dilio final series loss to Hull/Gatineau, Rimouskiโ€ฆ and had season tickets for the memorial cup run year)

Could not imagine the dedication to have none of that release. ๐Ÿซก

The Tampa Bay Lightning โ€œwere sorryโ€ copy pasta is placed and crafted to look like Hockey Canada tweeted it out. 

And then I overlayed Michael Scott from the office saying Iโ€™m dead inside (just because I still may use the joke if Slovakia gets our number)

I have reached a point in my sports fandom where I actively work on jokes to get through the โ€œhurtโ€ my team makes me feel.

I was giggling like a school kid cooking up a knock knock joke making this (minus the Michael Scott overlay) the moments after Team Canada went down 3-2

If only the Conservative Party of Canada had like a โ€œreviewโ€ of their โ€œleadershipโ€ in the near future.

It might really help to look in the mirror and have some tough conversations.

Yep!

Iโ€™m annoyed at how predictable it is.

Our electoral system needs a healthy group of opposition and we have internet trolls instead.

This is not a positive thing.

The Conservatives shouldnโ€™t be bad enough that theyโ€™re hemorrhaging membersโ€ฆ

But who could have foreseen thisโ€ฆ

Exactly. Itโ€™s a hilarious arc.

Iโ€™m โ€˜usedโ€™ to being called fat ass and being dismissed because I have weight.
