Nursing A Trade
I could’ve done a political chirp today, but it’s too depressing and too repetitive. The Iran war continues. Trump is being Trump. Ukraine and Russia still at war. On and on and on. So bear with me. The Oilers are trying to trade Darnell Nurse. He has just completed his fourth year of an eight…

Oil Gusher
Edmonton and the hockey world was rocked by an earthquake of immense proportions yesterday. Connor McDavid, with this year being his last year of his existing contract, signed a two-year extension for the same amount of money that he is making now.

Game 7
There are a lot of things going on next week. Lauren (let’s open up that zipper) Boebert, will most likely be primaried out, on Tuesday. I will have a pacemaker put in me on Tuesday. And two old codgers will most likely be making fools of themselves in the debate on Thursday. But, of course,…

Flying home from visiting family in Kelowna, today. all set to watch the Oilers play, tonight, in game six of the Stanley Cup finals. Edmonton attempt to do what only one team has done and that is to win the cup after being down three games to none. The only other teams that did that…

Hockey Town
The city of Edmonton and fans of the Edmonton Oilers throughout the planet have been a bit bipolar of late. The Edmonton Oilers are in the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in 18 years. Last Thursday they fell to three games to none against the Florida Panthers. Oilers fans were in deep depression.…
