The guy who came up with but failed to monetize "danger flutes." I’m a fan of the Senators from Ottawa and I have a Substack about bin-diving for records at rabbitholerecords.substack.com

I guess it’s worth mentioning that this past October was the 10th anniversary of the original danger flutes post on Welcome To Your Karlsson Years: welcometoyourkarlssonyears.com/2014/10/08/g...
GAME ON
In celebration of the hockey season kicking off tomorrow, we offer a breakdown of the Ottawa Senators theme song. [EDIT: user does not allow embedded video, because why would you do that if you&#82…

Ok, Sens have to get at least one win out of this Preds - Sabres - Kraken - Isles run, otherwise we’re in real trouble.

Maybe MacDermid can punch someone? I know he’s not in the lineup, just in the press box is fine.

But on the other hand, the new thirds look less worse than expected and we’ll have a new arena in 2036.

Hockey is a fickle mistress. Unfortunately baseball is also a fickle mistress. And CFL football. And curling. Triathlon? Get out of town, super fickle, much mistress. It’s fickle mistresses all the way down.

Sens teaching us all a valuable lesson. Not sure what it is yet, but it feels like there’s one in here.

Up close it's an absolute garbage fire of weird textures and sparkles. But red, black, and gold looks great against a white surface.

The black and gold numbering on the back looks particularly sharp.

OK, the new thirds actually look pretty good on the ice. I’m man enough to admit I was wrong.

If the Sens lose to Buffalo tomorrow I think the vibe on here is going to be…challenging.

Sens should trade for a goaltender of Juuse Saros’ pedigree, someone like Linus Ullmark.

You’re only saying that because it’s objectively true. If he were bigger his pass would have been received better.

He’ll finish the season with four points and a -35, and the model will say he was the fifth most effective defenceman in the league. We will all doubt our sanity.

There’s going to be a whole season of inexhaustible Wiercioch-like discourse about Spence.

They gave up a 2nd round pick for him, gave him $13 million, and are now playing him on the top line, so they clearly see something in Zetterlund. But I’m not sure if I’m getting it.

Mattamy Homes contest where the contestant has to escape a Mattamy Homes house that’s on fire but none of the doors fit properly and they’re all stuck shut because it’s Mattamy Homes.

This article says Bixi registered 13 million trips last year, in a city of 1.7 million where it’s winter six months of the year. Insane.

Needless to say, that’s in non-winter seasons. In the winter everyone gets around using coal-powered engines

Reading an article about cycling in Montreal and apparently 1/3 of all trips in the city are by bike. Pretty cool! I thought I would mention it since 90% of the people I follow on Bluesky have exclusively bike lane politics.
