Turbulence | Matthew Tkachuk

part one

The low hum of the airplane turbine next to her seat had begun to lull Y/N asleep. Here she sat at the Lambert international airport in St.Louis- with nothing but a bag of pretzels and a bottle of water in her lap as she watched out the window. It was past midnight and she had opted to take the red eye flight as a way to save money after Christmas had put white the beating on her bank account.

Passengers loaded onto the plane and started putting their carry-on items in the above head storage. There were a couple families, some children and one lady who sat a few rows behind Y/N had a dog. All she wanted was to get some shut eye. Christmas break had not been what she expected, originally the plan was to fly into Missouri and spend time with her boyfriend and his family, but what she received instead was a rude awakening.

Her boyfriend was a total asshole when he was around his family, and as Y/N learned- he was not the guy she had fallen for back in Calgary. So rather than put herself through two weeks of utter torture and pain, she broke things off with him and put herself on the first flight back to Alberta. There was still time for her to visit her own family in Edmonton if she really wanted, but Christmas was over now and they would all be heading back to work. There was no point in driving down after she got home. The weather on the highway would be more of a danger than anything, and she couldn’t afford another flight in such a short amount of time.

People started to settle down and the seat next to Y/N had yet to be filled- maybe she would get the entire row to herself, she could stretch out, put her feet up, take use of the extra leg room and arm rest. But her desires had taken a hold of her too soon- as if it was karma for being so greedy, a voice suddenly called out. “I’m here! Im here!” A man came rushing onto the plane, showing the flight attendant his ticket and passport. Almost mocking Y/N for her naive thoughts, the staff pointed out to the empty seat next to her- Y/N had just found her seat buddy.

Cursing herself, she huffed and crossed her arms- looking out the window to try and ignore how annoying her neighbour had already become. She knew nothing about him but she was in a shitty mood due to her recent break-up and also the fact that she was taking a flight at two in the morning.

Pushing his rather large carry-on into the overhead space, the man sat down next to Y/N, bumping her arm with his rather broad shoulders. He had a ball cap on hiding his mess of hair- but Y/N could see some sticking out from the sides, oddly cut and curly. It had a slight red tinge to it which matched the sweater he was wearing. Champion sweatshirt- nothing fancy. A pair of grey sweatpants hugged his hips, they had an Adidas symbol on them and some Adidas trainers on his feet. He looked pretty normal- he was obviously fit, but YN didn’t really care. She wasn’t looking to date anyone so soon.

She was rather observing him.

Once the man had taken up quite the amount of Y/N’s space, he pressed his lips into a firm line as if nothing was wrong. The flight attendant continued her instructions which passengers had heard countless of times before- however it was protocol, and they understood they staff had a job to do.

Y/N stared at her phone which still had a picture of her and her boyfriend on it. He was wearing an oilers jersey while she had a flames scarf on. She knew nothing about hockey, but it had been her boyfriend’s birthday and he wanted to go see a game. The memory was one that Y/N once cherished- Ethan had been so different in Calgary than he was in St.Louis. In Alberta he was kind and understanding, but as soon as they got to Missouri it was like a switch had been flipped in his brain. He was rude and dismissive- a total jackass. He ignored Y/N for the majority of their trip, flirted with other women when he thought she wasn’t looking. It was as if the total 5 months they spent together back in Canada had been a lie.

Glancing over at the woman’s phone screen, the man rolled his eyes. “Your boyfriend has horrible taste.” He quipped. Immediately, Y/N’s eyes shot up- locking the device and taking in his figure. Leaning against his had on the arm rest, the red head was watching her almost inquisitively. “He’s not my boyfriend anymore.” She answered him- he didn’t need that information, but Y/N couldn’t stop herself from letting the words Tumble past her lips.

Almost wincing at her actions, the woman’s lips tightened. “Its rude to look at stranger’s phones.” She reprimanded him- anything to get the attention away from her failing love life. She was met with a chuckle and roll of her neighbour’s eyes. “Were going to be stuck next to each other for about 7 hours… So we better move past being strangers quickly- other wise this flight is going to be awfully boring.” He stuck out his hand to introduce himself.

Y/N was almost caught off guard, she didn’t really expect to have a full blown conversation with this guy at two in the morning. But nonetheless, she stuck out her hand. “Im Y/N.” her tone was soft and came out in a tired hum- the dark circles under her eyes were enough to tell the man next to her that she planned on sleeping through this flight.

“Matt.” The man introduced himself. He couldn’t stop himself from asking about her boyfriend. He was cocky and always liked inserting himself in other people’s business, even if Y/N was a stranger to him. Matthew was an instigator and he knew that- it was apart of his charm.

Scratching at the oddly grown in scruff against his jaw, Matthew cleared his throat. “So whats wrong with the ex-boyfriend? Couldn’t get it up?” He smirked. Receiving a short chuckle from the girl next to him, he thought that was a good sign.

This wasn’t exactly something Y/N wanted to talk about but maybe letting it out would be a good thing for her. “He’s just a jackass… Acts totally different around me than he does with his friends and family.” She answered him. Catching the way Matthew rolled his eyes, Y/N glared in his direction. “What? You don’t think thats a good reason to end things?” She asked him defensively.

Matthew shook his head, rising a brow at her he thought it was rather ridiculous. “Obviously a guy is going to act different around his boys than he would with his girl.” He defended Ethan- Matt didn’t know a single thing about this guy, but it seemed like Y/N was being unfair. “There must be something else wrong with him.” He prodded her, begging her to go further into her explanation as to why she ended her relationship.

Y/N was almost at a lost for words. She wasn’t expecting to talk about her relationship with a stranger- let along have to defend her decision after this guy took her ex boyfriend’s side. “There doesn’t have to be anything else wrong with him- I, I ended things and thats that.” She spoke firmly, a red tinge flashed across her cheeks as a hint of anger raised within her.

The plane took off into the air and the passengers were well on their way to Calgary. Y/N was getting further away from Ethan and hopefully leaving her problems behind. The staff came around to answer any questions and check up on the overhead compartments.

Listening to the woman’s remark, the man let out a scoff. Matthew grabbed his head phones and put them over one hear- tilting his head up and closing his eyes, he was going to leave the conversation at that. Until suddenly a comment slipped past his lips. Opening one eye and peeking over at the blushing woman he hummed. “Sounds to me like you’re just high maintenance.”

Almost dropping her jaw in shock at his words, Y/N was at a loss. She knew that she didn’t have to defend herself from some stranger who knew nothing about her situation- but something about Matt had Y/N wanting to fight with him. Maybe it was his cocky little smirk, maybe it was his annoying rat like face or just the fact that Y/N was tired, either way she was irritated and just wanted to go to sleep.

Grabbing her pillow and placing it against the window, Y/N forced her head against the soft plush and squeezed her eyes shut. She just needed to fall asleep and forget absolutely everything about Ethan, Matthew and her failed Christmas.

A tapping against her shoulder began to shake Y/N from her sleep, her eyelids fluttered but she was still refusing to open her eyes- she could hear some grumbling, finally she went to open her eyes just as a finger came flying into view. “Ow- what the fuck?” She spun around, holding one of her eyes that was now tearing up after being poked at.

Blinking several times, she was able to make out the image of Matt, chuckling and rolling his eyes. “Someone is a cranky bitch in the morning aren’t they?” He teased- Sighing softly as he noticed her frustration with him. The man pouted like someone didn’t want to play a game with him. “They are landing us early, issue with the plane.” He mentioned.

This woke Y/N up rather quickly. She immediately rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at the tiny map that was being displayed on the screen in front of her. “Were in fucking Minnesota?” She whipped her head towards the window and opened the blinds- the snow was coming down heavy and it was obvious that there weren’t going to be any planes leaving for a while.

Unbelievable. Y/N didn’t understand how she got placed with the worst luck on this trip. First she was seeing her exes family instead of her own, then she was leaving her vacation early and going back home as a single woman, and now she was stuck in Minnesota with a despicable man who she couldn’t wait to get away from.

Clenching her eyes shut and throwing her head back, the woman started to pinch at her arm, tiny nail shaped bruises lining her skin. Instantly Matthew reached out and grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?” He asked, even though the two of them were being irritable towards each other, he didn’t want to see her hurt herself.

“Im trying to wake myself up- because there his no way my life is this shitty.. this has to be a dream.” She batted his hand away and returned to pinching herself.

Matthew rolled his eyes at her dramatics, looking towards the front of the plane as the flight attendant explained that they would be landing in St.Paul until the storm rolls over. A series of gross from the passengers resonated through the plane- a couple of babies starting to cry and the dog began to yip.

Y/N did her best to stay calm but her patience was wearing very thin.

Safer driving tips this winter

With your stress as a new leader, make sure you stay safe this winter with the first eight tips on the road from the Driving School.

Wipe your car completely before driving

Accelerate and brake slowly

Watch the weather

Keep your car up and running

Always calm in case of emergency

Turn the steering wheel slowly

Know how to slip your car if necessary

Be careful of pedestrians and motorists

Warm dress

do not drink and drive

Wipe your car completely before driving

Before you start driving, always make sure that the windshield cover and the front and rear cover are free of snow and ice as this may hinder driving. Never start your car until the snow is 100% out of the ice as this may cause carbon monoxide to appear. Always cross a track around your tires to avoid slipping or falling. It is recommended to keep a small ice shovel in your car, after all the weather is unexpected.

Accelerate and brake slowly

While driving, always check the acceleration and slow the brakes than usual to prevent slipping or locking the brakes. If your car is slipping, make sure you stay calm, loosen the brakes and gas, turn the wheel in the direction you want, and start loosening the gas slowly. The worst thing you can do is panic. Most cars have anti-lock brakes (ABS), but during winter driving, always make sure to keep a longer distance than normal between you and the vehicle ahead.

Keep an eye on the weather

Always be careful not to drive in a dangerous storm, no matter how much you need groceries. Watch the weather and get ready for the worst. The last thing you need is to be trapped on the road at extremely low weather temperatures. However, if you're driving in bad weather, look for a safe place to stop or turn around.

Keep your car up and running

From tires to your mixture, you always want to make sure your car is ready for winter driving. Be sure to check tire pressure often and swap for snow tires when winter begins. Check the windshield wipers and make sure they are fully functional and have plenty of wiper fluids. Try replacing the battery every winter, after all, weak batteries are not winter. Make your way to your local garage to test your current car and ship it.

Always stay calm in an emergency

One of the biggest rules of driving in the winter, if not the overall driving school, is never panic. Always keep a clear head and if necessary, you can find a safe place for the garden. If you are in trouble, be sure to contact your local authorities, start the engine as little as possible, and use the dome light in your car to conserve your car's battery. If you have a set of survival tools in your car, make sure to set fire to at least 3 feet from your car for emergency responders. If you feel cold, be sure to stretch your arms and legs inside your vehicle. Be sure to leave your vehicle only under extreme conditions.

Be careful of pedestrians and motorists

Not everyone is as patient or careful as you may be on the road. Always leave plenty of space between you and other motorists. As you may have heard in a driving school, check twice life saving. This applies to anyone during the winter. Always be careful of sidewalks that may be loaded with snow, and camouflage your fellow pedestrians. Give yourself plenty of room to slow down if anyone crosses through snow-covered footpaths or cars that might stumble.

Warm dress

Prefer yourself and wear the seams, especially when it hits temperatures of number one. You never know what might happen on the road, and the best thing you can do to prepare is simply get ready. Regardless of the temperature of your car, it will never hurt to pack an extra coat or jacket.

Never drink and drive

Probably the biggest one you can hear repeating Naveen driving school. Never assume that drinking is safe, especially in winter. Uber and Lyft drivers can be easily accessed or ask your friend to ride. Play it safely, and you won't be sorry.

For more information on these tips and more, take to the Naveen Driving School!

Vivek Shraya Is a Canadian Professor, Artist and the Author of The Subtweet

“I feel like a ghost,” laughs Vivek Shraya, musician, artist, writer and assistant professor in the University of Calgary’s department of English. She’s attempting a series of artful poses as part of our FASHION photo shoot, her hands gently rising and falling as her eyes open and close.

While she may feel that she resembles a spectre, Shraya’s presence in the zeitgeist is definitely tangible. The Edmonton-born multi-hyphenate appeared in a M.A.C Cosmetics campaign last year, and her second novel, The Subtweet, hits shelves today.

Shraya’s cultural contributions often relate to her journey as a trans person—a journey that has been influenced by the exclusion within, and lack of comfort afforded by, traditional fashion frameworks. For example, she prefers online shopping because, she says, “it means I don’t have to go into a store. Even brands that are androgynous or gender-neutral in aesthetic still divide their stores into men’s and women’s sections.”

Photography by Porus Vimadalal. Styling by Lucia Perna. Creative direction by George Antonopoulos. Art direction by Danielle Campbell. Hair and makeup, Susana Hong for P1M.ca/Armani Beauty. Hair and makeup assistants, Arielle Park, Kaila Baker, Romy Zack and Sierra Elliott. Manicures, Leeanne Colley for P1M.ca/Tips Nail Bar. Fashion assistant, Pouyan Reisdanaee. Photography assistants, Arash Jahromi and Saishi Xu. Dress, $1,545, Greta Constantine. Turquoise ring, $120, M at Archives Boutique. Gold ring, $550, POG at Archives Boutique. Earrings, nose ring and bracelets, Shraya’s own.

A more positive contribution to Shraya’s evolving relationship with personal style has been the ability to work with designer Mic. Carter of the brand L’Uomo Strano. She describes it as a privilege, acknowledging the budgetary and time allowances needed for custom clothing. “We’ve been collaborating for four or five years,” she says. Their union was instrumental to the storytelling aspect of Shraya’s single “Girl It’s Your Time.” “I approached him about designing something because I came out with the song and really wanted to have a feel to it in terms of the visual,” she says.

The result was a “short, frilly frock,” as Shraya describes it—something she would likely never have thought of wearing when she was in her 20s. “I see myself as someone who was stylistically adventurous in my teens, and I have reclaimed that in my 30s,” she explains, recalling how she told herself when she turned the big 3-0, “If you don’t wear shorts now, you never will.” She fondly remembers when her sartorial inclinations were freer. “I [once] showed up at a friend’s house with a giant wool scarf woven through my belt loops,” she says of her teenage self. “They laughed.”

“You have to allow yourself to make fashion faux pas—to take those risks—to actually figure out what works and what doesn’t”

Such ambitious early moments remain with Shraya as part of her philosophy on style. “You have to allow yourself to make fashion faux pas—to take those risks—to actually figure out what works and what doesn’t,” she says, adding, “What seems like a faux pas now might be considered avant-garde in a few years.”

In addition to having this courageous outlook on dressing, Shraya has drawn inspiration from a pillar of style very close to home. “My mom is my number one style icon,” she says. “As a kid, I looked up to her so much; she had this contemporary Bollywood aesthetic—a glamour and a regalness—to her.” From the way Shraya moves elegantly in a yellow Greta Constantine dress on the FASHION set, it’s clear that the generational lessons on grandeur were well received.

Why a Roof Repair Is The Best Gift You Can Have This Christmas In Edmonton AB

Who doesn't want peace in their mind? If we can stay relaxed for the entire holiday season and beyond, that's a great gift to receive, right? It's for this reason we as renowned Edmonton AB roofers highly recommend gifting yourself or others the joy of having a roof repair this holiday season. We know it's an unconventional gift, but it doesn't mean it doesn't mean its value is less than the best ones you've received this season.

The roof is the most hard-working part of any property. It faces hazards head on such as torrential rainstorms, high-velocity hailstorms, and freezing snowstorms. However, because of its height that contributes to its relevant invisibility, roofs are often left to their own devices. For this reason, roof repair maintenance services become greatly important. With a trained set of eyes, Edmonton AB roofing experts can find all possible issues before they even become big problems.

However, it's understandable that some households set aside their roofing needs because of priority expenses such as college tuition, utilities, and other surprise miscellaneous fees. In this light, roof repair service as a gift from you or from someone else is definitely an exceptional one to receive. While it's weird to have a free of charge call service scheduled on your behalf, having a greatly-performing roof is definitely affording you peace of mind.

If you're not convinced, then take a look at the common winter problems roofs face right after the holiday spirit wears off the following year. Pacific West Roofing has a great list of them below.

PROBLEM #1 – CONDENSATION

When warm air meets a cold surface, condensation will occur. Unfortunately, an improperly insulated attic is a prime candidate for the formation of condensation, which can lead to mold and mildew, damaging the interior structure of your home. To prevent condensation, ensure your attic is properly ventilated. Inadequate ventilation can damage your roof, the decking and encourage ice dams and shorten your roof’s overall lifespan by half.

youtube

PROBLEM #2 – FLASHING LEAKS

If you have a sloped roof like most of us do, you may be no stranger to leaky flashings. Flashings are the strips of metal that are placed along the front edge, corners and ridges of your roof and around your chimney and skylights. If not installed properly, or during a violent storm, they can start to pull away from your roofing material and lead to water leaks. Inspect your flashings about every six months to help prevent this from becoming a problem. (Continue Reading)

These are huge problems, and you're definitely familiar facing them during the winter or the transition period between winter and spring. Once spring arrives, the gifted roofing service you've received or availed for yourself will arrive and inspect your roof for the first time.

Roofing inspections are unfamiliar territory for many homeowners. While the process is simple, it is time consuming. If you'd like to learn the inspection process during spring maintenance, Roofing 101 has a great list of common steps they use below.

Our roof inspections check for all of the following:

Missing, broken, or torn shingles

Worn away shingle granules

Cracked or missing caulk

Rusted or missing flashing

Rotted or torn rubber boots around pipes

Wood rot or sagging areas

Cracks in the chimney or missing caps

Gutters that aren’t securely attached (Continued)

Lastly, when you're gifting someone or yourself with roof repairs, make sure to select a roofing contractor with in-depth knowledge and experience with roofing repairs and can handle your roofing material without any hassles. If you have yet to find one, then consider working with us at DDCL.

With our decades of experience servicing homes across Edmonton, we can guarantee only exceptional results in all projects. Contact us today to learn more about all that we can do for you!

We Can Play This Way Too! Seven Takeaways from Flyers 2, Oilers 1

Everyone, even the most casual hockey observers, had to know that the torrid pace the Flyers were playing in the first six games of the season wasn’t sustainable.

Averaging more than four goals a game? Averaging 35 shots on goal? What do you think this is the 1980s?

No. Hockey is forever morphing and changing, but one thing is for certain, if there are extremes in the sport, even for as short a period of time as six games, you can bet someone will find a way to change it.

Just like the amount of slashing penalties being called (more than 90% of NHL games this season have had at least one) will eventually slow down, so will the high-scoring games. So will the wide open ice. Things will invariably change.

And when they do, teams that are prepared for it will flourish, and teams that won’t will perish.

The Flyers? They want to establish that they can accomplish their goals playing varying styles of hockey.

(Wait, did I just use four -ish words in a span of 17? It was completely unintentional and not a bullish attempt to publish this story in a stylish manner. Not at all.)

After a tight-checking, 1-0 slogfest loss to Nashville Thursday, everyone, including yours truly, expected a return to the high-speed, wide-open style of hockey Saturday afternoon against Edmonton and Connor McDavid.

That wasn’t the case at all.

Instead, this game was much more spirited, with a little animosity, a lot of physical play, a lot of unselfish, team-oriented stuff usually reserved for late in the season or the playoffs and not October.

This was especially surprising since it was a non-conference game.

But it’s the way things are right now for the Flyers – who have definitely put the league on notice with the way they were playing over the season’s first couple of weeks.

And now, following their 2-1 win Saturday, they are showing they can win this way too.

To the Takeaways…

1. Not the Same Old Flyers

There was a time when playing the Flyers amounted to the opposition creating a game plan that required good defense against the top line, not getting caught taking too many penalties, and simply being opportunistic when the other lines were on the ice.

It was pretty standard for, oh, I don’t know, about 40 years.

But, something has changed with the organization. GM Ron Hextall’s plan has plodded along slowly, but it’s definitely starting to bear fruit.

The Flyers can skate. The Flyers have depth. The Flyers are no longer a one-trick pony.

And it may have caught the league a little by surprise to start this season. They will roll four lines at you consistently. They will skate with you. And, they have talent throughout the lineup that can score.

Putting up 26 goals through the first six games (really in five, since they were shutout in one of them) was evidence that the Flyers have some firepower on the roster.

And it’s not like the Flyers were doing this against doormat teams. San Jose was the Western Conference Champion two seasons ago. Nashville was the Western Conference champion last year. Anaheim was in the Western Conference Finals and Washington had the best record in the league last season.

That’s all impressive.

But what happened the past two games? Only two goals scored. Only two goals allowed. Only 100 shots total by all teams involved in two games, an average of 25 each and nine off the pace of those first six games for the Flyers.

Teams have decided they need to find ways to slow the Flyers down.

I decided to press this issue with a couple Flyers after the game.

“As the year goes along, teams get better defensively and things tighten up,” Wayne Simmonds told me. “It is what it is and you have to learn how to deal with it.”

And deal with it they are.

“I don’t know if we caught them by surprise with our speed like you said,” Andrew MacDonald told me. “But we have done a good job sticking to our gameplan – and there’s always adjustments to it. Every team pre-scouts the other team and know their tendencies and how they play and we can see certain aspects of that against us out there for sure, but we are trying to focus on the things we feel we can do to beat the other team’s defense.”

What the Flyers showed Saturday – that they didn’t Thursday when Nashville brought the tight-checking style against them – was an ability to be opportunistic.

They may have only scored a pair of goals, and they may have only gotten 24 pucks through on Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot, but they were smart to recognize opportunities that were there and take advantage of them.

They did on the game-winning goal by Simmonds (we’ll dive into it on No. 2 below), but they had other chances as well. The defense was quite active. Shayne Gostisbehere, who has been superb thus far this season, played perhaps his best game and was involved in a lot of plays. Travis Sanheim jumped up into the play for a couple of good chances.

And the forwards took advantage of turnovers, or created them with their skating ability as well. Travis Konecny had a heck of a game and didn’t even register a shot. Matt Read, playing his first game of the season, also had an excellent game – as did the entire fourth line, which has really become more of a third line these days, playing more minutes than Nolan Patrick, Konecny and Dale Weise.

Meanwhile, the Flyers were concentrating mostly on playing smart defensively. After all, when you are playing against Conor McDavid, you better be smart positionally.

They got a little loose in the neutral zone in the second period, getting away from their game plan and affording the Oilers chances – and goalie Brian Elliott bailed them out on a few occasions – but aside from that, the Flyers really did a nice job against McDavid and friends.

A commitment to defense. An opportunistic offense. Speed throughout the lineup – sure sounds a lot like the Los Angeles Kings model that Hextall is employing with this team… and its been good so far as the Flyers are 5-3-0 this season having outscored the opposition 28-18 through eight games.

2. Simmonds is one tough S.O.B.

Wayne Simmonds was hurt in the game Tuesday night. He didn’t skate Wednesday then played through a lower body injury Thursday. He said he was fine, but you could tell he wasn’t quite 100%. Then he took a stick to the mouth while on the bench, and while he doesn’t need oral surgery, he’s likely going to lose teeth – maybe as many as seven.

And yet, here he was, two days later, wearing a mouth shield that he said affected his vision when pucks were at his feet, setting up the Flyers first goal and scoring the game-winner.

“He is as tough as it gets,” Jake Voracek said. “He doesn’t miss many games. It was a great play by [Jori] Lehtera and [Valtteri] Filppula on that goal and Simmer is always in the right spot. So he knows where to go to get those goals. I wish I learned from him sometimes.”

Voracek can joke about the fact that he hasn’t scored a goal yet this season, but Simmonds is making up for it. He has six now and has scored the game-winner in four of the five Flyers wins.

Speaking of, here it is:

But alas, Simmonds is simply clutch. And to do it with a mouthful of hurt is all the more impressive.

While most of us would be home in bed crying less than 48 hours from being told we might lose seven teeth, Simmonds was winning hockey games. Not that he isn’t frustrated about it.

“Trust me, I was swearing up and down in the dentist’s chair for four hours yesterday,” he told me and NHL.com’s Adam Kimmelman.

It likely means Simmonds has to avoid any fighting for awhile too… or not.

“We’ll see what happens if somebody decides to do something stupid,” he said.

3. Giroux’s best game

I know. You think I’m nuts. He had a four-point game last week, how can this be his best game? Believe me, it was. Giroux was committed to the defensive gameplan – something I sometimes criticize him for. It’s really the one knock on an otherwise all-world player.

But Saturday, he was playing at a top level. A lot of guys were.

“Guys were really selling out and were committed out there,” Simmonds told me. “If we want to make the playoffs we’re going to have to play that way all season.”

Giroux played a true 200-foot game. He kept the legs moving the entire time. There was no slow down. There was no passenger-riding in the defensive zone (I always loved that term. John Stevens used to use it all the time. When guys weren’t backchecking or playing good defensive hockey he would say, “there were too many passengers on the bus.”).

And his goal was all about being in the right place at the right time:

Nearly everyone was involved in this beauty.

1-0, Flyers http://pic.twitter.com/6gUHDdhawb

— NBC Sports Philly (@NBCSPhilly) October 21, 2017

Simmonds said that even though it looked like he was passing it to Giroux, he was really trying to just deflect Gostisbehere’s shot into the net.

“You’ve never tried deflecting one of Ghost’s shots,” he said. “It’s hard.”

Giroux jokingly insisted that Simmonds would take credit for a great pass, but he didn’t. The more important part of the play was Giroux’s perfect positioning.

By the way, it was Ghost’s 10th assist of the season. He now has 11 points, which is tops among NHL defensemen (pending the result of the St. Louis game). His eight-game start is tied for the best offensive start by a Flyers defenseman in franchise history (Mark Howe, 2-9-11, 1985-86).

That’s pretty fantastic.

4. Provorov is really, really good.

You don’t need to see stat sheets to see excellence from Ivan Provorov. He’s one guy where the eye test is more than enough.

Provorov and Andrew MacDonald were on the ice almost exclusively every time McDavid hopped over the boards for Edmonton. Provorov was tasked with marking the league’s best player, and he was flawless.

McDavid ended up with four shots on goal, but three came in that lackluster second period by the team, and most impressively, the Flyers held him without a shot in the third period. That was primarily because of Provorov.

“It’s a five-man job to shut down any line that’s out there,” MacDonald said. “But as I’ve said so many times, Ivan’s skating ability and positioning on the ice is so good that he’s able to slow guys down, put them on his back, and just kind of angle them to places they don’t want to go into. It makes it a lot of easier when you are playing with a guy that is capable of doing that so well and covering so much ground because his skating ability is second to none.”

On one occasion in the second period, McDavid and Ryan-Nugent Hopkins skated into the Flyers’ zone on a 2-on-1 break. However McDavid, who is a wizard with the puck, never got off a shot – or a pass for that matter – because Provorov stood his ground and didn’t give him either a passing or a shooting lane, which was pretty remarkable.

There’s no question that Provorov is already a No. 1 defenseman in the NHL, the question is, when will be recognized as one of the best at his craft?

He’s really not that far off. Give it a year, year-and-a-half at most.

5. His partner’s not that bad either.

Here we go with the MacDonald argument again. I really hope not to do this as often as I have so far this season, but talking to fans on Twitter about MacDonald and trying to tell them he’s not as awful as they make him out to be is like knocking on their door, going into their home and making them switch religions.

So yeah… no success.

That said, MacDonald has been steady so far this season – and he really showed some gutsy play and leadership ability in this one.

With the Oilers on a third period power play and the score tied, MacDonald blocked a shot – his sixth blocked shot of the game – by Mark Letestu.

The shot hit MacDonald on top of his right knee, above the padding:

Huge block by Andrew MacDonald on the penalty kill. That hurt him a ton. http://pic.twitter.com/2a41MYAE3v

— Sons of Penn (@SonsofPenn) October 21, 2017

He crumpled him to the ice. He told reporters afterward that it was “just a stinger,” but the fact is, he’s likely still limping today.

He really couldn’t stand up at all. He was in obvious pain. Yet, he dove forward to break up a pass back to Lucic in front of the net that would have been an easy go ahead goal.

And he wasn’t done.

With the shift carrying on for more than a minute after he was hit by the shot, MacDonald tried to play his position and finally was able to even gain control of the puck and clear the zone.

Oh… and it was a rough night physically for AMac:

The fearless plays of the game™ are just Andrew MacDonald getting smoked in the face with various objects. http://pic.twitter.com/3uUeFvIaj9

— Sons of Penn (@SonsofPenn) October 21, 2017

For a guy who is on the ice against the best players on the other team all night, every night, to have a Corsi For percentage (percentage of all shots taken in a game that are taken by his team while he is on the ice) of 48.1% is not horrible.

The argument that he’s not worth his contract, while true, is irrelevant.

Consider the Flyers’ cap hit this year is roughly $72.6 million. It marks the first season in the salary cap era that they have a higher payroll than they did in 2003-04, the last season before the salary cap.

If ever a team couldn’t care less about discarding bad contracts, it’s the Flyers. They’re paying buyout money to Ilya Bryzgalov and R.J. Umberger. Before Saturday they had Matt Read in the minors. MacDonald himself was sent down to the AHL before.

Bad salaries were an issue when the team couldn’t even afford to call up a replacement player because the cap was so mismanaged. There’s a lot of breathing room this year. It’s not our money. What MacDonald, or anyone else makes, doesn’t matter unless Hextall suddenly becomes Bob Clarke and Paul Holmgren and starts handing out a bevy of obscene contracts.

That’s not going to happen. Nor is MacDonald going to suddenly turn into an awful defenseman. Nor are any of the legions of cranks on Twitter going to change their tune.

So, I’m just wasting energy. Good conclusion. Let’s move on.

6. Where’s the Edmonton offense?

The Oilers were the popular pick to win the Western Conference this year.

They still might get there. After all, they’ve only played seven games and teams have made the playoffs with worse records than 2-5-0.

But what is alarming is that while scoring is up across the league, Edmonton has only scored 14 goals, for an average of two per game. That’s pretty weak. And their goal differential is a minus-8, which is better than only four teams – Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Montreal and Arizona.

Part of the reason is arguably their second-best offensive player behind McDavid – Leon Draisaitl – hasn’t played in two weeks.

But the other part is, aside from McDavid, the team has underachieved offensively.

McDavid has three of their 14 goals, and aside from his eight points in seven games, only Patrick Maroon – who scored the lone goal against the Flyers – has more than three points.

It’s not been a pretty start for the Oilers and that could be because of the immense pressure Canadian cities put on their team once there are expectations of success.

This Oilers team is loaded for bear for the long run and is going to be good for the forseeable future, but they are young, and sometimes youthful yet talented teams need to take a step back after their first taste of success before they go forward again, and that might be the case for Edmonton.

7. Loose Pucks

In what is becoming one of my favorite segments of each takeaways piece, here are some items from both the game and my travels around the Wells Fargo Center that aren’t worth a deep dive, but I feel are worth mentioning anyway…

Had my first chance to catch up with Danny Briere since being back on the beat. Briere is now in charge of the Flyers ECHL affiliate in Portland, ME, who aren’t playing this season, but who will be up and running in 2018-19. Briere said he is still living primarily in this area and doesn’t think that’ll change even once the new team starts playing. For now he goes up to Portland about once every six weeks. “I don’t need to go up there. I think the people that are running things up there don’t need me looking over their shoulder every day.” Briere said he’s enjoying watching his sons play some junior hockey and being around the Flyers, but admits he’ll probably have to be in Portland a little more frequently next season.

Andrea Helfrich is the Flyers new in-arena host along with Shawny Hill. She’s also the latest apple of Kyle’s stalker eye here on Crossing Broad. One of the positive changes to the Flyers game presentation this year is they’ve cut down on the hawking of their own merchandise considerably. They were easily one of the worst, if not the worst in the entire league at pushing merch on the annoyance scale. Now it’s just a little bit pre-game and only one or two hits in-game and it’s much better with Andrea suggesting you go buy something than Shawny screaming at you to do it. But yesterday, during pre-game, some doofus member of the Flyers Fun Patrol was trying to put a ski cap on Andrea during the live hit on the JumboTron. His efforts were futile, and Andrea was visually frustrated with him, and at one point ripped the hat out of the guy’s hands and said “Forget it, it’s too small anyway. It’s probably for kids.” This is a ski cap, folks. On her petite head. No. It’s not too small. The actual English translation for the Fun Patrol guy is, “Get your grimy hands off my hair.” Interestingly enough, he didn’t appear with her at any other point in the presentation after that.

Speaking of game presentation – thank God they got rid of that stupid season ticket holder rally horn before each game. What a disaster. I feel like I had something to do with it’s quick demise – the Flyers’ game presentation director came up to me in the press box and told me he was reading my Twitter feed and that I needed to get a hobby. I’m not sure if that had to do with the death of the rally horn or the fact that I noticed Lauren Hart was no longer being touted as the No. 1 “ranked” anthemist in the NHL, but rather just the No. 1 anthemist in the NHL with the word “ranked” conspicuously disappearing from the Big Board. We’ll see next game.

Tired of the off-ice crap? Well Read and Lehtera were in the lineup because both Jordan Weal and Taylor Leier are nursing upper body injuries. Weal skated Friday, but didn’t feel 100 percent. Leier did not skate Friday with a “maintenance day” which is a comical description for a day they aren’t practicing because they’re freaking hurt. But, the Flyers just keep doubling down with the term.

Nolan Patrick has been getting less and less ice time. He also was responsible for the turnover on the Maroon goal. I think it’s possible that if this keeps up Patrick could end up facing the Dave Hakstol traditional rookie benching for a game soon enough that is sure to set Flyers Twitter aflame.

What happened to Woo? There was no sign of the Ric Flair robe awarded to the player of the game by the team in the locker room yesterday. Did someone forget to pull it out of the duffel bag, or has the kibosh already been put on it as a ritual? In other Woo news, no Woo chants from the crowd yesterday, which isn’t a bad thing. However, the Eagles cheer again reared it’s ugly head. Look, if the team is losing or there’s a playoff game the next day or something, fine. But, if the team’s winning and there’s no game for more than 48 hours? It’s completely unnecessary.
