@KevinMcCurdy @Pete___Hughes Oh well he’s unlikely to be an impact player during mcdrai prime years

@krbrockman @Pete___Hughes It was a consensus pick that's why everybody was so pissed off about it.

The Oilers passing on Jesper Wallstedt Is the most baffling thing I’ve ever seen an NHL Team do on Draft day. It was meant to be and instead they traded down. I was at an Oiler watch party and people went nuts. Sometimes the fans know what’s right. Oilers fans aren’t dumb.

@travisyost Utah is actually good.

Anaheim now ~ 58% implied odds to advance Utah now ~ 61% implied odds to advance … and then we are talking about one of these two teams as a Western Conference finalist

@byterryjones Oilers told they have best defense in the league before season start, proceed to shit bed. Oilers heavily favored by all the hockey insiders in this series, proceed to shit bed. This team drinks their own koolaid every time and has to face adversity to snap out of it.

The Edmonton Oilers after their devastating badly out-played loss in Anaheim last night, need to start today with a players-only team meeting. They need to have. Guys like Evan Bouchard, Darnell Nurse etc commit to each other re playing the game the right way.

@NHLRumourReport Everyone and their dog thought that. Except Tyler Wright and oilers management

Jeff Marek: When all those rumours were out about Jesper Wallstedt and how he was available...Edmonton was a team that I thought of...the team that I thought of for him - The Sheet (4/14)

@spittinchiclets Great save by Ekholm

Paul Missthenet sighting

@mathewjdp Oh no lol

Edm hasn't played a team that, on paper, is this heavy a mismatch on the special teams since they played Chi in the play-in series.

Don’t let your life "narrow." I’ve been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. The thing I watch happen to people — more than any injury or surgery — is what I call the narrowing. Most of my patients have no idea it’s happening. They think it’s just aging. It’s not. The narrowing is the slow shrinking of what your body allows you to do — or what you assume your body can or should be doing at your age. You used to carry four grocery bags. Now you take two. You used to sit on the floor with the grandkids. Now you sit on the couch. The overhead bin in the airplane? Not anymore. But... Nobody intentionally decides to narrow their life. Your body quietly loses some capacity, your daily choices adjust to the loss, and within a few years, the smaller version is your new normal. And many of us just normalize these changes. Patients tell me about the narrowing every single day. They just don’t use that word. They say, “I can’t do what I used to do.” They say, “That’s just what happens at my age.” And they say it as if it’s a fundamental law of physics. Yes — some decline is real. VO2 max drops. Max heart rate drops. Strength drops. Power drops faster than strength. Proprioception drops. But the unavoidable decline is only a small fraction of what most people are actually losing. The rest, the part that turns a sixty-year-old into a frail seventy-year-old, is not aging. It is disuse. The cruelest part is that people normalize it. They don’t question it. They talk about capacities they’ve lost as if losing them was scheduled. Once the narrowing starts, it slowly accelerates on its own. You stop lifting heavy things. Your muscles lose fast-twitch fibers. You get weaker. You lift even less. You lose more. The loss feels like aging. You accept it. The loop tightens, and your world narrows. VO2 max declines about 10% per decade in sedentary adults. Strength declines slowly starting in the forties. Power declines about twice as fast as strength after fifty. Bone density drops. Balance degrades. Get over it — you still have agency over all of these. The slope and severity of each of those declines are profoundly modifiable with training. The sedentary decline curves are not the same as the natural human decline curves. They are the untrained decline curves. Trained adults in their seventies routinely outperform untrained adults in their fifties. The body remains responsive to training well into the seventies and eighties. This is one of the best-established findings in the aging literature. But how many doctors tell their patients about this? The patients who reverse the narrowing are not the ones with the best genetics, the best knees, or the best circumstances. They are the ones who decided to do something. Something made them stop accepting the losses as inevitable, and they started doing things differently. What have you already stopped doing? Not what you can’t do, exactly. I'm not talking about old injuries that have ruined a joint, or those of you who have disabilities... For the rest... the sedentary.... What have you quietly stopped doing over the last five or ten years, without ever making a real decision about it? And more importantly, did your body actually tell you to stop, or did you assume you needed to? Much of the narrowing in your life right now is reversible. I have watched it happen in thousands of patients. It is not a miracle. It is just the body doing what the body does when you start asking it to do something again. The door you thought had closed is usually still open. I am not a one-off. I am a sixty-two-year-old who decided not to let my life narrow, and who did the specific work to back up the decision, for long enough that the work is now visible from the outside. You can do this too. At any age, I am likely to be talking to. Start where you are. In a relatively long post on SubSt, I discussed how my observations shape my training regimen below. This training is largely based on observing thousands of people over the last 25 years. Link in reply...

@oilingoal Masterclass in oilers management, smartest guy in the room trading down to take Xavier Bourgault 😂

Just for the record, the goalie that was going to “take too long to make an impact on the McDavid era” is starting game 1 of the playoffs for a team with a better record than Edmonton in a year where the Oilers made 2 goalie trades

@ByfieldForHart Good sir, your confidence is most admirable and delivered with flourish. Indubitably, let it be recorded that the Aves dispatch the Kings in 5 contests, no more, no less. Affording them but a single courtesy victory before concluding the affair with finality. 😉

Anyone who genuinely thinks Colorado is going to sweep LA is in for a rude awakening

@Vintage77Ball Terrible goalkeeping on that free kick. That was so ugly

June 21, 2002, at 07:30 am UK time. Many Three Lions fans wake up early in the morning, turn on the TV while having breakfast, hoping to qualify for the semifinals. Michael Owen scored first, but Rivaldo equalized, and Ronaldinho closed the story with a magic free kick over David Seaman. Brazil won 2-1, England went home with sleepy eyes. ☕⚽ Who has ever watched a World Cup match this early in the morning?” “Do you think it’s better to watch football in the morning (while having breakfast) or at night (while relaxing)? And did this morning affect the performance of the English players at that time?

Justin Trudeau returns to deliver a video message to delegates at the Liberal Party convention: "The Canada we've built together didn't happen by accident and won't continue without effort. It takes hope and hard work, but we're Liberals, we got this."

@EzzyMUFC And then park the bus immediately after, what could go wrong?

The reactions to this Luke shaw goal man😭, bro would have actually been an England legend if it won them the Euros💔

@MatthewEvolves Why is turtle boy on this list?

Huh? Did Leon Draisaitl retire or something? Ridiculous.

@BleedOilBlue 2

The Oilers HAVE to bring one of these back. No debate. 1, 2, or 3? 👇 You don't even have to be an Oilers fan to have an opinion on this 🔥

@GinoHard_ @oilersjayscan Tkachuk deserves every sucker punch he receives

Parker Wotherspoon sucker punches Matthew Tkachuk, so Sam Bennett steps in and clocks him with a right 😳👊

@garylawless @GoldenKnights @EdmontonOilers @AnaheimDucks Oilers coach is an idiot, incapable of keeping lines that work together. Should be fired and bring in Cassidy

What a difference a week makes. With the win, @GoldenKnights move to 86 points. @EdmontonOilers and @AnaheimDucks both now at 87. Top of the Pacific is a logjam with all three teams having five games left. Eichel was dynamite, Hart near impenetrable, Andersson stays hot. Vegas finding form.

@00sFootb4ll England losing on penalties is just a natural recurrence in major tournaments

Memorable penalty shoot out between Portugal and England at the EURO 2004🇵🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@jayfurreal @JasonGregor @GarrettKAlberta A classroom where gender equity cards are used and gender oppression Olympics can be fostered

@JasonGregor @GarrettKAlberta What do you suppose was being taught in this classroom?

The idea that teachers will have to teach a “both sides” view of the Holocaust or the Holodomor is absurd. The curriculum is explicit about the horrors of these crimes and there are clear learning outcomes set out for these lessons to be taught Bill 25 will not change that.

@Martyupnorth When it is indistinguishable between real and parody you know these maniacs have lost the plot.

This person scored 9.7 on the NDP victim index. Congratulations.

@AmazingZoltan Organizers proudly reported that every single delegate was, at some point, offended. This is a first in convention history and widely considered a sign of full participation. 0% of discussions reached a conclusion but all were deeply felt.

It has come to my attention that today is Day Three of the 2026 NDP leadership convention and that yesterday was Day Two. I feel terrible about the mix up given the seriousness of the event and the gravity of the moment—so I've gone back and compiled some highlights from Day One.
