I am seeing a lot of land that could be developed around it.

I'm surprised that they managed to lure Kevin Karius from Global after such a long time as a sports anchor. Meanwhile Bell/CTV continues to circle the drain.

In Elks news, Victor Cui and the Elks organization have 'mutually parted ways':

I am a big Cui fan and was hoping he would stick around long-term, but I guess the lack of on-field performance was wearing on him as well...

It's happening!

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid asked the team to be in Edmonton two weeks before the start of training camp for informal skates at Rogers Place. “Everybody is dialed in, everybody is super motivated, everybody is determined, and everybody is in it together,” said McDavid, who wants the team to get a jump start on the 2023-2024 season after their playoffs loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Oilers forgot you actually have to play the games and not just read the press clippings.

Coldrsx · #**1891** Posted **Oct 12, 2023, 3:51 AM**

*everything is fine*

Black Star · #**1892** Posted **Oct 12, 2023, 5:01 AM**

Except that we don't do that in the 'shadows'.

Haha...touché

The oilers will probably win on Sat, but these types of games are indicative of problems between the ears for the teams leadership group.

Coldrsx · #**1896** Posted **Oct 12, 2023, 1:52 PM**

'Not good enough - we got a lesson in work ethic; there are a lot of things wrong'??!??! Really Jay? At this stage?

97 was lost for words.

Maybe they were excited about their autograph session at WEM today and soiled the sheets.

Edmonton has not scored a goal in the third period through 5 games.

Woodcroft continues to look for the positives, but I simply do not feel any urgency, cohesion or accountability.

Rise, repeat.

The Heritage Classic pre-pre-pre night kickoff on the rooftop patio in ICE District.
