Even though it really isn't... Game 2 always feels like a must win if you lose game 1. Fortunately, the Oilers did win and split the series heading home. A few things I noticed: 1. What happened to the bottom 9? I know that having 97 and 29 together inevitably means you're sacrificing offense...

I may have lost a bit of what I was trying to say there, so let me rephrase: Point #1: Mexico City is far from unique in having issues providing a consistent, safe and potable source of water to its citizens. I feel it is unfair to say that it "can't be anywhere but close to last place", when...

Why are we trashing CDMX specifically about water scarcity. A massive chunk of global populations are experiencing significant water scarcity right now thanks to various factors including poor water management and infrastructure, overpopulation of arid regions for largely economic reasons and...

Legacy game from Stuart Skinner, never thought I'd see the day the Oilers get outshot by that big of a margin and still win. Not sure what was with the team in terms of generating offense last night. I know LA was desperate, but usually the Oilers are able to put up a few more shots, even if...

And that's your perogative... Take the ranking for what it is, a series of different statistics and other things that are cobbled together and averaged out. I would encourage to broaden your horizons however. Having travelled in Latin America and Asia, a lot of people have the impression that...

The metric I used for things like water and air quality is the EPI index, it's only a small part of the ranking. I don't think it's fair to judge a city entirely based on whether it has potable tap water, that can't even be said many places in Canada. The source for the EPI metric is the Yale...

OKC mainly suffers from bad urbanism (walk, transit and bike scores). It's not really showing that it's going to be getting much better any time soon either. On top of that, it's right in tornado alley, which harms its disaster score. It's also exceedingly boring. It's really a bunch of subpar...

Skinner needs to be better, the team as a whole was (clearly) not near as good as on Monday, but the main factor here was the goaltending (Talbot made 3-4 saves he shouldn't have, Skinner let in a couple he should have stopped). Also, the refereeing was terrible, the Kings are constantly diving...

Alright, so I have added both EPI (Environmental Protection Index) to the metric, which measures things like air and water pollution and general environmental sustainability. I could not find data at the city level for this, so the lowest level was used (regional or national). I've also added...

Great game by the whole team, LA didn't deserve to be even close. 3 lucky goals either on deflections off Oilers skates or inopportune broken sticks. I'll give them the first 2 though, should have been 6-2 (since they wouldn't have pulled the goalie if they didn't luck into getting within 2)...

RM Transit is on Skyrise Edmonton!!!

Great analysis @ChazYEG, Here's how I would predict it: Nucks vs Preds: Vancouver is definitely the favorite, on paper and in the standings, but I like the way the Preds are built for a playoff series, and I think they're poised for an upset. I especially think this is the case considering...

They're a current ECHL team, I don't think they would go for this name (even though it is a great one) bc of confusion with the ECHL Team as well as the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA. If it was just Memphis it would probably go but having two teams in the same hockey system called the Utah...

I do have affordability taken into account as cost of living along with average salary. I didn't track housing specifically, because it can be rolled into general affordability. I could add housing as a % of income, but that might require a reworking of the cost of living / average salary metrics.

Not trying to defend Regency necessarily, I also really don't like the way they do things, and think in recent years they've done more harm than good to downtown by essentially just taking perfectly good buildings and turning them into pits and/or empty lots. More just trying to say that it...

Definitely considering it... I'd personally like to see the lean into the whole mountain theme, Eagles is great, though I wouldn't call them Golden Eagles as they would play in the same conference as the Golden Knights. Utah Bighorns: As in Bighorn Sheep Utah Alpines: Maybe with a skiing...

I will be at the game. Speaking about the Coyotes relocations rumours... despite all the drama down there, I'm disappointed they're probably going to be leaving. They have (potentially controversial opinion incoming) one of the best jerseys / uniforms in the entire league. The team has a loaded...

This is very dependent on where you're flying to. If you're going to the US, or most other Canadian Cities, then yes, Calgary is closer and requires less southward backtracking. However, if you're travelling to Europe, due to the curvature of the earth, you actually fly north over Greenland and...

Honestly, Edmonton doesn't need a lot more. The bare minimum of having a direct flight to the top 5 biggest US Cities would be enough to significantly reduce the need to fly through Calgary. Obviously I'd love direct flights to cities in Asia and to significantly expand the European service, but...

Thanks! I'm not sure if there is any way to track age/quality of transit infrastructure. Things that you mention like coverage, frequency and speed play a part, but I'm not sure where I could find such data. When it comes to things like pollution and environmental impact, there are things like...
