Thought I had read that he was 30 but after looking myself it’s 28. Avs impress one game then look fairly average the next from my 6 games or so a I’ve seen them on TV. They are in Calgary soon and it’s always different in person. The West is getting tougher and Avs can’t be satisfied with wild...

Looks like Avs doing an on the fly tuneup in the v short term. Rantanan is a deadly sniper but injury prone and not a complete 200 ft. guy. Canes will over pay resigning him.

I could see Herbert being a modern day Roman Gabriel, playing in Los Angeles for a number of years before joining another team for the balance of his career. When his receivers hang on to catchable balls they do okay. Chargers aren’t a great team. He would do very well in Minnesota, even looks...

This is the first Steven King book I’ve read and am really enjoying it. Extremely well written.

A few years ago I refinished the the headlight lens on my wife’s Infiniti older SUV that the sun and road grime had yellowed. It took an hour or so and she never had to use high beams after that. Although you would like to think it doesn’t happen, over time headlights become out of alignment...

There wasn’t a dry eye in the Saddledome last night, very emotional thinking about the sadness of the whole situation right from the accident to how well his family has handled the tragedy to tonight. He was a ‘bring you out of your seat’ player. We loved him here, were mad and sad when he left...

The waterfront in Liverpool is the centre of things to do and see. Catch the Hop On Hop Off bus there but most importantly see the Liverpool historical museum. Fascinating history of the city revealed. Take a Beatles bus tour from down there, just great, see Aunt Mimi’s house and Strawberry...

I like cars so I liked all the Detroit teams growing up, Lions and Tigers especially. If I recall the Lions in the 60s had bad QBs, Milt Plum, Ninowski etc just weren’t v good comparatively. Always good defensively, but poor quality quarterbacks. Schmidt was a favourite player of mine from...

Marcus King at the event Center in the Grey Eagle Casino complex in Calgary, basically sold out I’d say so 2500 in attendance. I try to keep up with Blues players, but can’t follow them all, and had heard of him about 5 years ago as a guy with the ‘prodigy’ background reputation. Well deserved...

I was totally into them when I was a kid in the ‘60s, expanded my music interests beyond the British Invasion and the Boroadway musicals of the 50-60s that my mom constantly played. A well rounded start to my lifelong appreciation of most forms and styles of music. ‘The Look of Love’” is one of...

He had some inspired years in Calgary but was inconsistent and at times not very effective. He would take the puck and try to go end to end to try and get the Flames offence, woeful at times, going. He wouldn’t bother to set anyone up and invariably was smothered by the opposing defencemen and...

“An hour after sunset” is what I have read for timing of the incident. I’m a former ride coordinator for a large cycling club in Calgary and I can tell you that cyclists can be very careless when it comes to being seen and when they should be taking extra precaution. It’s maddening to say to the...

Top 5: Don’t Take Me Alive Only a Fool Would Say That King of the World….one of their best unknown songs Black Cow Brooklyn

“Jeopardy” was one solid funk driven number, impossible not to sing along to it. I have it on almost every mix I have created. Kihn probably qualifies as a ‘one hit wonder’ but that song is a HOFer.

Nick was famously quoted as saying.”I don’t start fights, I finish them.” He was a fan fave in Calgary, believe me!
