I counted 8 guys (most doing something) on the job as I crawled along the downtown WB 417 around noon today.
There was also a long stretch where nothing is going on. No workers and idle machinery.
I understand things need to be fixed but the glacial pace of this project…
Zeigler may have known that !
I was thinking back this week to Ottawa’s entry into the NHL, which is now 35 years ago. It’s worth remembering that when the franchise was awarded in 1990, John Ziegler’s time as commissioner was winding down. Ziegler left in 1992, and it’s more than fair to wonder: would Ottawa have made it onto Gary Bettman’s NHL expansion radar after he took over in 1993?
There have been eight expansion teams during his tenure, with apparently two more on the way, and Canada hasn't been part of any of it. And now, with the reported franchise fee going from $650 million to $2 billion (USD), how many owners would now be lining up to put a team in Ottawa for $2.7 billion Canadian?
We didn't realize it at the time, but if the league had rejected Ottawa in 1990, there probably wasn't going to be a "next time" to fall back on. The Sens got in just under the wire.

He’s very talented indeed! Young, driven and playing on home course…a player to watch!
Had a tremendous game at @RoyalOttawaGC as the club prepares to host the Canadian Men's Amateur this month. Going to be a great test!
Played alongside 16-year-old(!) Michael Vivone of Ottawa who will be in the field. Regularly pumped it 300+. Just a wild young athlete.

Sophie Foulds of @RoyalOttawaGC makes an ace on the 2nd hole of the final round of the 90th @TheGolfOntario Junior Girls’ Championship @LoyalistGolfCC
Interesting learning about the man , the industry a bit and the business transactions made . But a bit dry on occasion . It’s worth it however.
No. Marchand!
Legit question: should the Sens try and sign pending free agent Mitch Marner?

Some legendary performances of the 80's.
A thread 🧵
1. Queen - Under Pressure (1986)
Interesting to get facts and history of Lincoln but a bit of a boring read .. I’ll find a better one sometime.
