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...

As much as I have contempt for Regency about leaving yet another empty lot or pit in the middle of downtown where a perfectly fine building once stood, this particular project was hit with a ton of bad luck. The demolition and pre-construction all occurred before the Valley Line started...

When I flew to Singapore last summer I was luckily able to avoid going through Calgary (YEG-SFO-SIN on the way there, SIN-HND-SEA-YEG, on the way back). Flying to Calgary is such a pain, you have to go through all the security and general shenanigan's of air travel, and then are only in the air...

Alright so after input from @ChazYEG, I've updated the rankings with new metrics accounting for murder rate per 100k, inequality (Gini Coefficient) and I've also added regional HDI (Human Development Index): I've also added new countries and the list now consists of: - Canada - USA - Mexico -...

YEG is an excellent airport overall in terms of user experience. It's big enough that it's got a decent amount of amenities (quite a few dining options, big seating areas, lots of bathrooms and places to fill up water bottles, etc), but isn't so big that it feels super crowded like YYC or YVR...

I like Vinny, he's really good in his own end, and adds some bite and toughness. I especially like him using his reach on the PK. He's had an up and down year, he looked pretty bad at the beginning of the year but has picked it up since then. I think he needs to work on his shooting, he's a big...

This isn't about Smith wanting to protect the province from undue federal influence as she says. Edmonton has already implemented the changes necessary to get the accelerator fund. This is about 2 things: 1 - Screwing over Edmonton 2 - Screwing over Trudeau (if the accelerator fund were at all...

Potential Oilers fwd line combos tomorrow without McD against the Knights: Holloway - Draisaitl - Foegele Henrique - Nugent-Hopkins - Hyman Kane - McLeod - Perry Janmark - Ryan - Brown I like leaving the bottom 6 intact, I like the way they're playing right now. For balance I put Draisaitl...

There was an ambulance parked beside and two paramedics heading onto Health Sciences / Jubilee platform today. They didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry though. Not sure what was happening there, anybody know about any disturbances at that station today?

He's decent, idk about the best. He's 10th among Oilers forwards in expected goals against, 10th in high danger chances against, 11th in high danger chances against. For more traditional stats, he's even on the year in plus/minus. On the offensive side: He's 12th in expected goals for, 9th...

Hopefully this is a Kawhi Leonard situation, though I do think he might be labouring a bit after the Calgary game, looked like he took a couple awkward falls and such. Hopefully nothing serious, best case scenario is they're just letting him rest a game or two from a nagging injury. I doubt it's...

I doubt Connor Brown comes out, he's been playing great lately, and actually scoring. My guess would be either Derek Ryan or Mattias Janmark. I'd rather sit Janmark, I think DR adds more in terms of his penatly killing and general versatility. Janmark is a decent puck carrier, but doesn't do...
