Edmonton Oilers, Information Technology, Video Games, Politics, Music, and random musings. Lover of Animals. Views are my own.
I'd like to start a running post with information for the event on Sunday, June 22nd. Celebrating Bruce McCurdy's life. It's at 1:00 PM MST.

I am going to make this a thread, as links do weird stuff to post engagements, and I want to make sure that everyone that wants to see this does.

Tomorrow on the Lowdown, @kmccurdy.bsky.social will make his first appearance as the regular Wednesday 1pm guest weekly. Kevin is a bright fellow with keen insight into the game of hockey in general and the Oilers specifically. Please welcome him!

The final post from one of the nicest people you'd ever have the opportunity to meet and talk hockey with. Could debate and discuss without it ever getting nasty/personal.

Terrible news to get this AM about his passing.

RIP Bruce. Condolences to @kmccurdy.bsky.social and the entire McCurdy family.

G36: Stick it in the L column and the tape in the trashcan.

Bluesky exclusive: I'll do my best to post these threads here as well again. I kind of fell off the rails awhile back, but I know a huge chunk of Oilers ex-Twitter is here.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

G20: Much Better.

Quick post tonight, unfortunately I have a bit of a busy evening here.

- Significantly better effort tonight overall, their star power was cooking. I loved Podkolzin with the lead line, excellent work by him tonight overall.

- Goal by McBouchard was ridiculous. (1/8)

G19: Yeet the tape.....mostly.

H'ok. Straight up, that game was a pig and it's very difficult to put lipstick on it. I will do my best to find some positives in this one. (1/25)

Jesse Puljujärvi scored a goal. And for a time the world healed.

New Oiler followers keep showing up. This starter pack is basically full. I can modify it a bit or start a second one, but really, this should get your Oilers feed going.

G18: An Avoidable OTL. Lessons all around.

Hold on tight folks, I don't have much positive to say about this one unfortunately, but lets get it done I guess.

First the good:

I honestly thought they had a pretty good stretches through the whole game. Exciting hockey too. (1/20)

Ryan Reeves might get a suspension, or he might retire and become the Head of Player Safety… who knows with the NHL!

High, dirty, chickenshit hit from Reaves there. Cowardly stuff.

I do think there’s value in finding viewpoints that differ from your own.

But I don’t think it’s valuable to seek that out specifically.

What’s valuable is seeking out thoughtful perspectives

It’s only within those thoughtful perspectives, rooted in expertise or experience, that variety has value

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!

With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:
