Oilers video coach saved them from a 3-0 trench to dig out of. Ouchy!

I’m seeing a YouTube video, maybe some TikTok content. With underground passageways, the Metro and the REM connecting office towers, the Bell Centre, Olympic Stadium, Saputo Stadium, hotels, shopping malls, colleges, universities, and condos, Place des Arts, you could avoid winter altogether.

You could walk from the Bonaventure Hotel to the Bell Centre without going outside. (Underground City).

Pelosi’s greatest hits. Fine story; great leader.

Indeed. He also set up the go ahead goal. Weird goals both ways: Dach’s deflection off something; Evans’ goal from acute angle; NJ tying goal after Matheson was temporarily disabled blocking a shot. Much to like; plenty to clean up, like Struble’s penalties

Excellent initiative. Bravo.

Good on you for owning the miscue. I’m inclined to think the ongoing defections might be like the stability of weather patterns in Calgary — just wait 15 minutes.
