Thanks Bluebelle!

Welcome!

I need a little more than that... are you able to open them? You're able to get some of them?

I literally just copy and paste the url when I open up the story. So I'm able to in the morning when I make this, but if they move the article at some point after that, I can't control it but that could be the issue.

This is wonderful to hear. Not necessarily the specifics, but the 'think outside the box' approach. It's not that the Oilers management has really been totally devoid of 'outside the box' stuff, but I think often they forget the 'think' aspect.

This article demonstrates foresight and imagination by the current Oilers coaching staff, and I'm happy to read about it.

They all worked for me! Thanks!

The article opens and I can read the first few paragraphs then it says that I have used up my quota of Sun stories and when I try to open the rest of the story it won't bring it up.

I think that's just a sign of the times, no one is buying print anymore, so they struggle to make ends meet. They're trying to get people to buy online subscriptions. I don't think that that is too far away from being the way you'll need to get all of the "credible" mainstream media information.
