(3/3) goal difference) even if, as what happened in that #Canucks’ shootout win (https://x.com/canucks/status/1844965736789442911?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw), two or more players score. What a contrast to the OT loss to the #Flames (https://x.com/davwain1/status/1844249595670560919?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw) in the regular-season opener for the #Alberta team and #Canucks (6–5 Flames’ OT win [https://x.com/nhlflames/status/1844242665396965492?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw]).

(2/) #Tocchet having, for that team’s game vs the #NHLFlyers, chosen to start Kevin #Lankinen over Arturs #Silovs. The result in the latter of the #Canucks 2 regular-season games was a win albeit having needed a shootout (https://youtu.be/Z2k18DmOBsw?si=gu_iR6mxZbbPVVgG) to decide at 3–2 (https://x.com/canucks/status/1844966406984437842?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw). #NHL shootouts, put in place effective the 2005–06 season to decide preseason and regular season games that aren’t decided in OT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_(ice_hockey)#North_American_shootouts), are awarded to the winning team as a goal for (+1

(1/) I’m not very surprised that reports on Twitter (#twittertrends) suggest Cal #Pickard will for the #Oilers start (https://x.com/i/trending/1845214280360026176/normal). A Friday EDT episode of #TSN’s #ThatsHockey (https://x.com/tsnhockey/status/1844822235472638106?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw, https://youtu.be/4VnPPXoxGqA?si=oL6pf7xkQbhOyVvV) featured a claim of #RyanRishaug, also a cohost of the Oiler-themed #gotyerback podcast, of the ugliness of that team’s recent regular-season opening game. I mentioned, via an 11 p.m. EDT Friday tweet (https://x.com/davwain1/status/1844936266384801857?s=46&t=w0Zzxi_Zx8983G5Wl20bHw), of #Canucks head coach Rick

(2/2) (https://x.com/CityNewsTO/status/1631053151062331392), a #YouTube video #CityNews had posted on the TV network's relevant page (https://youtu.be/zl_q2lpxngQ?si=PlOg4dYGyUJsH_dj). #DaveMcMillan, the main man behind the #SmartTrucking YouTube channel, died late last month (https://x.com/RKT_News/status/1840058331525726549), but in mid-December 2017 claimed, via a video of his, of the practice of trucking companies having paid "peanuts" having only produced "monkeys" among drivers in that industry (https://x.com/davwain1/status/1100749333735993345).

Most trucks are taken off the road for brake violations. Industry experts say it highlights a need for improved air brake training and testing. So @carynceolin went to an OnRoute with a trainer to put truckers to the test. https://t.co/ifx5jYuMZ8

(1/) I found a #CBCNews (@cbcnews) article on supposed testing of #truck drivers looking to obtain #Ontario relevant licences (https://x.com/CBCNews/status/1844709539201060925), with just hours ago a video of the #CBCMarketplace episode having been posted to #YouTube (https://youtu.be/vVSs8dSbS-Y?si=Jf_IEpKCbyoaUvP2). Early last year #CityNews #Toronto posted, on its Twitter page, an article that'd featured a video narrated by #carynceolin on so many large trucks having been placed out of service due to brake violations

The system for testing truck drivers in Ontario has been compromised by bribes, forged documents and rigged testing, says a memo leaked to CBC's Marketplace by an industry insider. https://t.co/z5dxIawtIu

After having unsuccessfully, just a few minutes before, to attach photos, I had taken of a TV guide of mine on upcoming games the #Raptors, #NHLJets and #Canucks had been scheduled to play, I have attached those photos to this post. Now for tweets, from those respective teams, of broadcast start times and, if available, specific channels:
- Raptors: https://x.com/raptors/status/1844730142964281430?s=46&t=MPwQXLcpWVv3dZG1QLU_SQ
- Jets: not available yet
- Canucks (does not mention regional nature of #Sportsnet broadcast): https://x.com/canucks/status/1844770177222676492?s=46&t=MPwQXLcpWVv3dZG1QLU_SQ

The above is a link to a @Mastodon post of mine on uncertainty over:
- which #TSN channels would be covering the respective #Raptors and #nhljets away and home games
- whether, without the #nhlcentreice TV add-on, I’d get to watch the #Canucks’ home game

I plan to, after 2 unsuccessful attempts to attach photos, try attaching those photos in a subsequent post.
