A Schedule Change
With the U SPORTS National Men's and Women's Hockey Championship being played this weekend, I figured I would be spending a lot of my time in front of my laptop and TV watching games. Everything appeared to be heading towards that fate until I received an email today that changed my schedule and could add a lot of fun to the upcoming weekend.

The Day After 68.0: Oilers respond with emotional win over Predators after Draisaitl knocked out of game
It’s gut-check time for the Edmonton Oilers.
