Since the start of the 2022-23 season, 27 of the 32 NHL teams have changed head coaches at least once. Since the end of last season there have been 19 head coaching changes after Sheldon Keefe was fired on Thursday, before a two-year contract extension even kicked in.

Even with 29 days in a leap year, the end of February creeps up on you every time. So on Thursday, it will be time for the monthly edition of Silver Bulletin Subscriber Questions. There’s still time for paid subscribers to submit questions — you can do that

As you may have seen or heard on the Internet, I recently realized my months-long goal of playing the national anthem on guitar at an NHL hockey game, what critics are already calling the greatest national anthem playing of all-time basically. At least far as I’m concerned.

From the time I was 10, I’ve been obsessed with what it means to grow older. I’m curious about what it means to others, of all ages, and so I invite them to take “The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire.” Here, journalist, editor, and “global book ambassador”

The Great Paywall of Coochie To those who have followed this newsletter for a while now, this news may leave you feeling a bit aggrieved, and while I understand the sentiment, I hope you can understand that sometimes in life for things to continue they must change —- and this newsletter is one of such cases.

In Canada, Father's Day is observed to honor fatherhood every year on the third Sunday of June. Although not a public holiday, many Canadians celebrate this day to show appreciation and give respect to fathers and father figures. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

When I first discovered NHL ice hockey as a teenager, I thought the fighting was kind of cool. These goons were willing to beat each other up and risk losing a tooth or ten, just to defend the honor of their teammates. Now that I’m a physician and public health researcher, it’s decidedly less charming to me. We’ve all learned about the

Saturday night, the University of Michigan men’s hockey team will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes for the fifth time this season. Ohio State has claimed three of the four previous meetings—one in a rout, one in a shootout, and one outside at Cleveland’s FirstEnergy Stadium.

For the past few games, the Montreal Canadiens have been icing 11 forwards, and while they sport a surprising 3-2 record in their last five contests, this is a situation that will soon become untenable. They can scarcely afford to lose more players to injury, and the constant double shifting is bound to take a toll sooner than later.

Let’s talk about plus-minus and Moritz Seider. I know, plus-minus is a flawed stat, there are much better overall metrics to judge a player. But when it comes to wins and losses, and a franchise defenseman, plus-minus can be a strong indicator of whether a team will make the playoffs or not.

Reformers and radicals on the American right have had a very tough time these past few decades, and have lost every single major battle that they have conducted against both Democrats and Republicans. One need only look back at the debacle that was the Tea Party, heavily libertarian and constitutionalist in orientation, only to be swallowed up whole an…

Exceptional times call for exceptional players. And that’s why Sean Day made his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night. You may remember when Day received ‘exceptional player status’ from Hockey Canada to…

Some of you have been dying for Pittsburgh Steelers content (okay really just one of you) but I didn’t feel the need to write about them. Until now. The Steelers took on the Washington Football Team on Monday afternoon in a game that was postponed because of the Steelers-Ravens game postponement the week before. Pittsburgh entered Monday’s game 11-0 whi…

Welcome to the In The Chips with Barry previews email for the week of 12/7. Let’s get in the chips, shall we? Arnott’s Shapes Variety Pack Yes, sent all the way from Australia by the good folks at Treats From Oz, it’s a snack called “Shapes.” I’m not going to lie, that is not the most imaginative name but then again I don’t taste the name so we’ll leave i…

My company was absolutely crushing it by most standards, but I was stuck there. Tough pill to swallow… I had an “if it needs done, just fucking do it” mentality. This actually got me pretty far, but lead me to brick wall - hard and fast. I reached the max capacity of what I could do “on my own” with a limited team &iIn one sudden moment a realization dev…

Happy Saturday everyone! Can you believe that it’s already December? Time to get started on those New Year Resolutions! Anyway, what happened this week in the finance, tech, and startup world? 🌎

I didn’t want to widely share this video I recorded a year ago – I really didn’t. I was hoping the plethora of dire predictions extrapolated from the Pfizer Covid jab clinical trial data would be incorrect. I thought there was still a possibility that, despite mounting evidence to the contrary, the shots would cause minimal harm.

Andrew Tate has been banned from all major social media platforms. If you’re not familiar with Tate, he is an eccentric, charismatic, and controversial personality figure who has found internet fame among young men and women alike.

This is The Graffo Broadsheet, a flux of experimental comic strips, comics research, guest artist features, and project reporting from an arts compound that includes a multimedia cartooning & illustration lab and a comics-centric gallery in Silver Spring, MD USA.

This evening’s announcement that the Transition is officially commencing comes as the anxious denizens of the nation’s capital are scouring the roster of the Biden-Harris “agency review teams” to see if our friends and frenemies made it onto these august bodies. But what do “ARTs” actually do?
