Sharing this not just because I’m mentioned by name but wanted to also give a glove tap to Oilfans.com which preceded the Oilogosphere. As early as 2000(!), I was meeting up with folks from there. And many, like me, would go on to contribute to that blogging world.

I was little more than a lurker and then commenter in the Oilogosphere. But I learned an absolute ton from the people in this thread & others, with surprising applicability to areas beyond hockey.

I was glad to be able to contribute to it a little bit in my own way.

Making Betts Dickie Betts wrote “Jessica” and that’s a lifetime. Have you heard it? The Allman Brothers went dual everything—guitars, drums—and their sound echoes in my brain everyday. If you have an hour, listen ...

Stan Bowman is making bets, Isaac Howard is a first-shot scorer, the Oilers should have quality youth in the lineup, and why you should listen to Jessica today.

The Edmonton Oilers made a reasonable bet signing Andrew Mangiapane. He's consistently helped his teams outchance opponents. But his productivity/point production has been steadily declining for a few years. Details:

Oilers vs. Panthers – Game 5: A Tactical Review The Oilers’ loss in Game 5 was the very definition of a “team loss.” From goaltending and defence to offensive execution and coaching decisions, the entire team struggled to rise to the occasion when it mattered most.
