You can’t fully boycott US companies. But what I have found over the last year is that there are a lot of great local companies, Canadian owned companies, or companies owned by non-Americans that I previously wasn’t aware of or didn’t use as much as I could have. So I’ve made choices where feasible.
It's effectively impossible to boycott US companies because they own so many British brands. You'd have to stop buying Cadburys, Walkers Crisps, HP sauce.... or shopping at Gails or Waterstones etc etc...

I’ve been thinking about this. How often does your goalie play at a reasonably expected rate in an individual game?
People have looked at this of course. A goalie version of a quality start.
Just thinking of a back of the envelope look at this.
So I looked at it for the Oilers this year.

Since I’ve been keeping track of this for Ingram, it’s worth noting Jarry gave up 4 goals on 2.98 Expected Goals against.
At least via Moneypuck’s xG formula, he didn’t do terribly but you do expect one more save in the game.

Update:
We’ve had the induction range for about a week. All positive so far!
Every pot and pan we had already worked with it but one, so that was fortunate.
It heats up the pan QUICK! Way better temp control than my previous range.
A bit of an adjustment to use, but not much.

Hello friends, my oven appears to be toast. Will likely need to get something new.
I don’t think I’ll get a gas range because of the potential health risks. But does anyone have experience with inductions? What I’ve read sounds good but I know very few people with them.

It never ceases to amaze me how these guys have literally no understanding of any sci fi or fantasy story they reference.
It’s not even that they’re being dishonest. They just actually have never thought truly deeply about anything, even the things they purportedly revere.

Looks like the Oilers are running 3 goalies for a few days, presumably until Jarry gets injured again.

Ingram lets up one goal on 3.39 Expected Goals against. Given the Oilers had two goals 59 minutes in, you can give him full credit for his contribution to the win.
6 of 7 games of reasonable or better work by Ingram. Still early days but he’s provided extremely serviceable goaltending.

Again, not sure if Ingram is the answer and he didn’t have a tough game tonight, but he only let up one goal on 1.8 Expected Goals Against via Moneypuck.
That’s two solid games for him in the NHL.
