They only selected six of the top 18 scorers (points per game) in the entire CHL. And of those six they limited icetime of Martone, Rehkopf and Dickinson. Didn’t use McKenna enough. No Cristall, Misa, Greentree, Hage (NCAA), Parekh or Yakemchuk. To claim the process was great

The Great Rewiring of Childhood: A Smartphone-Social Media Dystopia

Ok, I think Zayne Parekh is playing with confidence. #SaginawSpirit #Flames

Broadly, men's self-help tells men they suck and that if they work hard maybe they can suck less. Women’s self-help tells the women they are already amazing and the problem is they (and others) just haven't accepted it.

Is this going to go down as the best draft in #Flames history? 6'6 Centre Hunter Laing was a 6th round pick. He's got 4 goals in his last 5 games.

I just watched one of the best talks ever given on what smartphones, social media, and ed-tech are doing to childhood and education. From Sophie Winkleman. If you question the wisdom of the screen-based school day, you must watch, just 20 minutes: youtube.com/watch?v=7V6nuc…

Among the least likeable of human beings are bullies, and those who toady to them. Trump – Putin’s Poodle – manages to combine both: his arrogant bullying of Zelensky, in the service of his barfworthy toadying to the Russian bully. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/202…

We'll look back on our polarized politicized era as the death of nuance. Notice how the ideologically possessed mind is incapable of comprehending anything beyond the political binary paradigm. Black and white thinking is comforting, but it comes at the cost of understanding.

It's funny to think that this last Canada's WJ team set a record for fewest goals scored in national history... and they didn't select the d-man who shares an OHL record with Bobby Orr for GOALS SCORED. Actually hilarious. #Flames

ZAYNE PAREKH WITH A DIME FROM HIS KNEES! 🔥 (via Ontario Hockey League)

Dream come true 🔥

Those wanting a complete fire-sale overestimate the impact of a single player. Just look at Bedard in Chicago. Davidson has a LOT of work to do to build a *team* conducive to success even though they got their generational 1OA. Teams need leaders, on and off the ice, (and #1 D).

It's fascinating how after thousands of years of refining social norms, 1/5 of us remain trapped in tribalistic mindsets.

Hearing Zayne Parekh and Porter Martone will be joining Team Canada for at least some exhibition games for Men’s Worlds. Both eligible for World Junior selection next year, so a nice bridge between programs.
