@FriedgeHNIC Please ignore the guy who said enough with the Oilers. Interesting story, year and I cannot figure this team out. Thanks for what you do.

@OilersNation @jsbmbaggedmilk Gotta be something Garlic related. Garlic, Bulb, Kielbasa (garlic sausage).

What should Coach Knoblauch’s nickname be?! More from @jsbmbaggedmilk on the Better Lait Than Never Podcast

@SFBART Very disappointing to see the blue line weekday service degraded. 20 min waits on a major artery in a metro area during rush hour is very poor, by global or any other standard.

On Monday, September 11th, we’ll be running a new schedule designed to work for everyone, every day. There is a lot in store. Full explainer video can be watched: youtube.com/watch?si=tMniI… Learn full details of our service change at bart.gov/news/articles/…

@stevesi @benedictevans @SFBART - we will power wash away the urine each decade at a minimum, and generally replace broken glass with plywood when we get to it.

@OilersNation San Jose. No market has put as much love into their team in the expansion era with as few results. Long suffering and loyal fan base + good rival for the Oil.

@chrispronger I’m curious about how conditioning and diet have evolved. Eg once heard that Gretz would have a coke and a bag of chips before a game - now it seems like it is nutritionist-planned to perfection, have to train intensely through the off season, etc.

Next up …. tell me what you want to learn more about

After a long summer hiatus off the twitter grid I am back with a new thread.

Anyone else seeing shadows of power price manipulation a la 2001 Enron - is there any oversight on why refineries are having shortages at such a convenient time? California gas prices are rising again. Here’s why, and how high experts say they could go bit.ly/3UKQfq6

@VHS_Polo Go Kaliq!

GAME WINNING 5M SHOT BY KALIQ KAHN!!!!! Vintage defeated Ripon in sudden victory overtime 11-10!!!! Let’s GO!

@CofRedCentral Just starting to listen now, youtu.be/u5VDieHOSrY. I was baffled by this one.

I highly recommend watching the footage of Johnny on Tim and friends. Tim asked him about the press conference not going over well, what he has to say to the people of Calgary who are upset etc.

@BLuchanski @EdmontonOilers So cool. Was there pregame for Game 2, it was great. Curious how many people can fit in there- anyone seen estimates? Fun!

Ice District Plaza goes crazy while McDavid scores across the street inside Rogers Place & the @EdmontonOilers advance to the 2nd Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs

@chrispronger I’d be curious about endorsements - only for the top few? How much can a star, strong, vs an average player earn during a career?

Very thankful for all my new followers on here. I am working on a few more interesting threads that will give a behind the scenes look into the world of sports and the NHL. Any topics or questions you all want to see covered next? Bring it!

@Austen Totally with you, want the incentives to drive supply without the morbidity of Uber looking like they’re profiting from distress and calamity. Seems like it would be a low cost PR and public goodwill generation for the surge pricing to be there, but Uber absorbs some / all.

I know people hate surge pricing, but it makes so much economic sense. If you want drivers to swarm an area you can do that by paying more. And call me crazy but IMO it’s pretty fair to pay a driver extra to come pick you up from the scene of a shooting.

@chrispronger Great details, Chris. So many people look enviously at pro paydays and think “I’d be smarter, more careful or more strategic.” Unlikely, honestly. Easy traps to fall into. I’ve heard that leagues & unions are trying to prep players better - is this having any positive impact?

I played 20 years in the NHL. I was one of the highest earning NHL players of all time. And friends with many other pro athletes. My guess is more than 50% of pro athletes have financial issues in retirement.

@benedictevans $2.2-2.4B

@EdmontonOilers there’s a young fan here at the shark tank tonight. Bouncing in his seat hoping to get his McDavid jersey signed. Section 101, row 3

@AlaskaAir thanks!

@thorj I'm sorry to hear that. You can also try the text option, send a text to 82008. -Julie

@AlaskaAir - think your phone system is broken. "Your wait time will be 4 mins"... 3h 20m yesterday and a disconnect. Today - 2 mins, and I am 20mins in. Please fix!

@KurtLeavins @edmontonjournal Thx Kurt good one. Any pressure oilers can put on league for McDavid non calls? Frustrating to watch.

@BrotherOffice Thanks. I am so frustrated so appreciate your response. I remember updating the last time I had these issues, but good call. Just started another refresh. I’ve been stuck at 0% for awhile. Will get back to you if it progresses.

@thorj Hi, James. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your printer. Can we help troubleshoot? Are the firmware/drivers up to date? ~ih
