The Oilers have emailed an old account I used with them twice this week trying to sell tickets. One email even offered to book a call. Meanwhile Ticketmaster's showing plenty of empty seats for opening night. Guess a decade of squeezing fans for every penny finally caught up.

“That’s called a soul patch. Everyone had one. I had one!”

400 players ranked. If it wasn't for @rhysalbrecht.bsky.social and his FreshSheets.
It would have taken me weeks to complete it. Still a lot of room to tweak and adjust things as we go through preseason towards the start of the NHL season and fantasy drafts.

My favourite part of the year.
Where I spend hours and hours of time on pre-ranking my NHL Fantasy rankings.
It may or not be company time I am using. Impossible to tell.

Out of every low-cost option available, the Oilers picked the one that came with the most baggage attached.

I know it's not how it works now, and probably not how it ever worked, but I think I would flourish as an advertising creative if making Super Bowl ads just involved writing "have Arnold Schwarzenegger say 'get your ass to ZipRecruiter, dot com" on a napkin and letting everyone else figure it out.
