Pause for a moment with this Rockies uni. Is this an all time great uniform..? Or is it just my childhood nostalgia kicking in..? Or both..?

You can pick any player, in any sport to have an injury-free career. Who would you pick? My pick is Eric Lindros.

@MarkLazerus Lovely tribute; thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss.

I fully support Alberta’s effort to move Canadian oil to the coast. I’m tired of giving away our resources to the Americans at a massive discount. Enough is enough. Time to put Canada first.

Canada has become economically weak and vulnerable to the whims of our largest export market…and Ottawa continues to dither. Parliament could do 3 things today that would immediately turn our economy around, create hundreds of thousands of jobs and generate trillions in wealth for Canadians without spending a single tax dollar: 1️⃣ Scrap Oil and Gas Production Cap 2️⃣ Overhaul “No New Pipelines” Law 3️⃣ Eliminate Tanker Ban The national economic self-sabotage has to stop. Canadians deserve leaders in Ottawa with the courage to unleash our full potential, restore prosperity, and make our country strong again. We can do this!

Ken Dryden. One of one. I decided to reread his classic book this summer. The written word was life's goal crease for the introspective introvert. His space. He took it all in. Little got by him--whether pucks or a teammates idiosyncrasies. A great noticer of all things. His iconic stance said so much. "You think I'm detached. That I don't care. I care. I'm confident. I'm relaxed. Everything is fine. We're gonna win."
And they almost always did. 8 seasons-6 Cups-5 Vezinas-1971 Conn Smythe-Calder. There's been nothing like him before or since. A Hockey God.

@MarkLazerus You’re a great writer, Mark. Appreciate you sharing this.
I had a Dad whom I was close with and shared all kinds of stupid shorthand. And I am a Dad with adult kids with now a different version of the same shorthand.
Keep writing and keep us smiling.

(My dad will probably be mortified that I tweeted this. Too bad, haha.)

1. Thirty months ago, I was standing in the ICU room in which my dad would spend 26 days, sedated, essentially clinging to life. It was sad and it was serious and it was somber.

Lots more that I made in this thread..

Last night I created these iPhone lock screen wallpapers. Just 4 fun. Designed for the 13pro as that's what I have, but I'm sure they'll work with any. If you want 'em let me know and I'll post them in the thread so you can download. Whaddaya think? WHO should I do next..?

@MarkLazerus Glad it worked out. Both for you and for your readers.

20 years ago today, I was excited yet miserable, thrilled to be near my adopted home but despondent to be so far from my goal. Today, I couldn't be more fortunate, in work or in life. You just never know. Keep at it. I hope you get as lucky as I did. No matter how long it takes.

20 years ago today, I pulled up stakes in Western PA to take a newspaper design job in Northwest Indiana that I didn't really want. It meant giving up writing and it felt like giving up on my dream. But I was desperate to get back to Chicago, and that was as close as I could get.

I'm not a fan of the "dad" hat, but sometimes you just gotta.. which one?

@ShutdownLine Without looking it up, he was the highest or secon highest scoring LW in NHL history when he retired. Or something like that.
English
Part of this is bad luck because he was only 9th in scoring during his best season. Still kind of nuts that a Hall of Famer never got a single vote for any major award aside from the Calder.

Name an “elite” player.. who also revealed a nasty mean streak when necessary..

@ShiDavidi Why are the Jays off on a Canadian holiday Monday?
English
The Blue Jays plan to start Chris Bassitt, Bowden Francis and Kevin Gausman versus Orioles in three-game series beginning Tuesday in Toronto.
With off-day Monday, they kicked around skipping fifth spot this turn but decided to give starters an extra day.
