Had an impromptu tête à tête with a (male) downy woodpecker during my walk in Grey Nuns White Spruce Park today.
A great pleasure anytime an unexpected little miracle flies into my life, however briefly. This handsome fellow provided the highlight of my day.

Reposting with correct graphic. Doh.

Oilers w/ 10 GP since 4 Nations. At 3-7-0 they posted the worst record of any NHL team for their last 10. Worst goal differential as well (-13).

The 32 teams range from 6-16 points & average exactly 5-4-1 = 11 points.

Not many playoff teams in the bottom 10:
