The Oilers lost

again by a one goal game in Anaheim last night. At least there was no game controversy other then singing the new Canadian anthem "All of us command." The boys go into San Jose Saturday for a back-to-back game for another 8pm start.  

The opening ceremonies for the Olympics were last night. I'm not watching because the NHL is not part of it. This was the NHL's decision partly due to the 17 day break in the current 2017-18 schedule. It would have been great to see Connor McDavid and Auston Matthew's on team Canada. Because of this the IOC now blocks them out of the 2022 Olympic games in Beijing.  

When Justin Trudeau was elected, i said to myself: "He's got 3 strikes and he's out." Strike 1: His campaign promise to legalize cannabis. Strike 2: The changing of our anthem. I was going to give him a strike 3 for the Omar Khadr case was handled but supporting the Trans mountain pipeline kind of made up for that. I'm a fence sitter with the Trans mountain pipeline but winced when the Energy East pipeline was cancelled. Anyway that's all for now.
