Spector (again)
I’ve long admired Mark Spector’s work as a sportswriter and a columnist, but we’ve never enjoyed the best of timing, him and I—at least from my point of view.

The ongoing debate between advocates of advanced stats in analyzing player performance and “traditionalists,” those who primarily base their opinions on what they see and more simplified numbers, is one I’ve never had any real interest in entering.
Fernando ready to roll

Primetime for Gregor

Rod Phillips told me a long time ago that he’ll keep doing what he does as The Voice of the Edmonton Oilers on 630 CHED radio for as long as he’s having fun.
Stauffer Steps In

Il voce nuevo
There’s going to be a new voice in the radio booth for the Edmonton Oilers on 630 CHED this season
The Skipper sails on
When he decides it’s time to go, the man known around the NHL as The Voice of the Edmonton Oilers won’t telegraph his farewell, prompting all manner of fussing, tributes and retrospectives by admiring peers.
ENCORE FOR GATOR?
Will Jason Smith be the latest former Edmonton Oilers captain to come home?
TINY BUBBLES
“Moron.” “Wannabe.” “Media junkie.”
