For three years, this has been my seat doing traffic at News1130.
Last night was my last shift at this seat.
My next shift, it will be with the same company. But in a new location.
Looking forward to working in the new digs.
I hate to say this. Because I’m not cheering for it.
The Oilers are going back to the Final.
#Canucks thoughts on a 2-0 loss to the Senators.
Hard to win with 16 shots and not capitalizing on 2 powerplays in the third.
Zeev Buium was very noticeable.
6'9 Curtis Douglas had 4 hits. Was noticeable out there
#Flames Thoughts on a 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Blake Coleman continues to be the MVP of this team. 6 shots. Shorthanded goal.
Matt Coronato continues to be snakebitten.
I'm interested in what becomes of Connor Zary. I thought he played his most effective with Nazem Kadri
32 Thoughts brought this idea up. It has been an idea in my mind for a while.
If there is a power play within the last two minutes of OT, the game should extend until the end of it.
I'm all for it.
Some #NHL thoughts from this weekend.
1) How can you not be excited for Buffalo? That is a great fan base that deserves playoff hockey.
2) Is there a good team in the Pacific Division?
3) It's great to see #Flames fans excited about their future. Conroy is a hero.
Now the Canucks
Claimed 6’9 forward Curtiss Douglas from Tampa Bay.
Traded David Kampf for a sixth round pick in 26.
Trades Lukas Reichel to Boston for a sixth round pick in 2026.
Combine the trades of Myers, Garland, and Woo total of 5 trades.
Question for #Flames Social Media.
We all agree that the Don Maloney interview was a disaster.
But was the fan response a wake-up call for the organization?
I doubt the Weegar trade happens last yea
#Canucks thoughts on a 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
It was a good effort. One of the better ones in 26.
More of that EP40, please.
Great to see Hoglander score a goal.
I'm warming to this idea of Filip Hronek as Captain.
I think he may be the heartbeat this team needs.
Tyler Myers to Dallas
Canucks get
2nd pick in 27
4th in 29
Canucks retain 50% of their salary.
#Flames thoughts on a 6-1 loss to the Stars.
Tough night. No question. Especially for Dustin Wolf and Mackenzie Weegar.
Matt Coronato is also snake bit.
A positive. Thought Zayne Parekh played with more confidence.
#Canucks Trade Deadline Preview.
What are realistic expectations for the Canucks at the Trade Deadline?

The Flames are hard to watch. Especially in the offensive zone. They are not a good team.
But I appreciate the battle they show every night.
They are miles, repeat, miles ahead of the Canucks in that area.
It’s sad that the Seahawks won’t franchise Kenneth Walker.
But I understand this from the Seahawks perspective.
It’s a lot to pay for an RB these days.
Also.
No one has answered this question
No one has asked it.
What exactly are you building?
I’m going to make this very simple thought on the #Canucks game tonight.
You can talk “tank” and “rebuild” all you want.
If you don’t play as a team, you can’t compete.
The Canucks are not a team. They are individuals wearing Canuck uniforms.
Also, if I’m another team, I’m not sure how big of a gamble I would be taking here. Is he a No 1 centre? I don’t know. He’s probably a solid 2 right now.
Just don’t see this trade happening.
I’ve said this about Nazem Kadri with the Flames. I’ll say this about Elias Pettersson.
I wouldn’t expect EP40 to be traded by the deadline. If he is, I would expect to be underwhelmed with the return.
Not a lot of teams have the space. So you likely need to retain.
I’m surprised that Jim Hiller lasted as long as he did with the LA Kings.
The disastrous blown series versus the Oilers.
The horrible challenge.
The loss of confidence towards him.
Seems like the odds were against him.
The Flames are back. What should we expect?
We preview what to expect at the Trade Deadline and beyond.
We look at Eric Francis' 7 potential trade chips

I think Danhausen has a chance to be a unique character in WWE.
I think many were expecting Jericho tonight. Didn’t help Danhausen tonight.
Give him a chance.
#Flames are back. What is next?
We look ahead to the Trade Deadline on Friday.
As well as the kids we might see before the end of the season.
Live here.

Thoughts on Rutherford on 100% Hockey.
Great interview. Millard and Shannon did a great job.
Takeaways: They have figured out Demko injury. Good news.
He doesn't want Chytil to play again this year.
Wants to fix the home record. He thinks they play more free on the road.
#Flames thoughts on a 4-1 over the Sharks.
I don’t have the numbers to back me up. But my eyes tell me Connor Zary plays his best hockey with Nazem Kadri.
Adam Klapka is becoming a problem for opponents.
Dustin Wolf was great. Looked refreshed.
A shoutout to @clahanna
She is a fantastic reporter in both hockey and football. Her genuine curiosity comes across. And she knows the questions that need to be asked.
Great job Claire.
Survivor 50 Premiere Thoughts.(Keeping it somewhat vague to avoid spoilers)
Great episode. The first 10 minutes were so good.
The OG era is going to adjust quite quickly.
Gut punch for the injury. Hope they are back.
#Canucks thoughts on a 3-2 to the Jets.
Thought their structure was solid.
Good game from Tolopilo. He looks like there is potential.
One of the better games Brock Boeser had played in a while. 2 shots 19:53 TOI. Noticed him
Honestly, I’m surprised people are surprised that Tyler Myers would be a trade possibility.
Big Right Shot D. Playoff contenders crave them.
New Episode.
Recap of Canada's Men's and Women's Team.
Looking ahead to 2028, 2030.
McDavid.
The Canucks are back! Yay...

The take on Connor McDavid not being clutch is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
42 points in 25 games in 24.
Came back from 3-0 to force a Game 7 in the Final
33 points in 22 games in 25.
An Olympic record 13 points.
Game winner at the Four Nations.
Stop it. Seriously.
