  1. We're ahead but possession wasn't great. Score is what matters in the end though. We've been beat despite good play too much lately. Just win.
  2. No wrecking, it's my woodlot. Just get a birch and an ash with the ATV and pile it at home. Nothing like wood heat on a cold winter night.
  3. Wow, all quiet on the board. Must be Thanksgiving in the U.S. Enjoy the day!
  4. Hey Modo, thanks for the updates, insight and enthusiasm. Day off tomorrow so I'm heading into the bush with my Husqvarna chainsaw, Wetterlings axe and Morakniv to cut some firewood. Swedish influence is more than just hockey.
  5. I'll definitely catch this movie. My daughter is my usual sidekick, she loves Marvel. I had many comic books from the early 70's and the Avengers were my favourites followed by the X-Men. Loved the teams more than the individuals.
  6. I've lived with both systems and still bounce around. Metric has taken over my weather language. Just don't ask me to convert the numbers, I'll ballpark it. 100 degrees is hot!! What I like about metric is zero is the freezing point.
  7. I think Reinhart cantering Kane may be a good fit once Sam has his own gig. Bogo channeling King Kong Korab with the physical play.
  8. When they finally bust out," The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzy.
  9. Showing as much skin as the modern day ice girls.
  10. After playing hard through the tanking Tyler deserves some support and a chance to turn his game around. Reunite him with Zemgus and Moulson.
  11. He rubbed me the wrong way with that refusal. I thought it was because he thought he was too big a star for that small, French speaking market. Keep in mind he also refused to report to Sault Ste Marie in the OHL. His family didn't want their baby in the wilderness. Gretzky went to the Soo. I admired his play, awesome force. Hated his selfish attitude.
  12. I heard Lindros bought an Island on Kipawa. Makes me laugh that he would have property in Quebec. I think his wife is from Montreal.
  13. I thought Mongrain was from Quebec, never seen the name around here.
  14. Wow, Dokis. That's a pretty, out of the way place. I'm on Lake Nipissing that feeds the French River into Georgian Bay. I don't know where Lake Baptiste is, I'll Google it. Northern Ontario has some beautiful scenery, the shores of Lake Superior between the Soo and Thunder Bay is rugged and awesome. There are warts here too, but I wouldn't leave because I'm not comfortable in cities.
  15. I've been to Peterborough but not for a game. Nice city, lots of hockey history. Met Steve Larmer recently, had a nice chat. Majority of my games have been in North Bay and Sudbury. I've attended games in Ottawa, Sault Ste Marie, Kitchener and Barrie. North Bay is my team and has a good atmosphere. Sudbury had an 50's era arena and a stuffed wolf they run out on a clothesline after a goal. Hokey but it's their tradition. Their team has sucked for awhile though. A skate on the canal before a 67's game is a cool thing to do. Have a beaver tail (pastry) at one of the many canal rest stops.
  16. Get a nice looking, clean motel. Lots of dives around.
  17. Lots of fond memories flooding in from the 70's. I watch hockey almost every night (not many complete games, lots of channel surfing) and catch 90% of Sabres games. I listen to the stats talk but prefer to just watch great players, great plays and some good commentary. I also read quite a bit of hockey information and I don't skip the stats stuff. I don't go looking for it either. I may attend one NHL game a year, but get to 20 OHL games. I watch my son practice 2-3 times per week and play games most weekends. 23 games, year to date for his team. Hockey is a big part of our lives and the stats are a small part of my hockey experience. I'm glad someone is compiling them and explains it to me, but I can live without them.
  18. 5-8 cups of black tea every work day. About half of that on weekends. Hot summer weather I have Iced Tea and some Mountain Dew. Quit coffee about 12 years ago.
  19. Big win. We were outshot but won the board battles. Reinhart with a solid 200 foot game. O'Reilly's mentoring this kid. Linus was good. Linus Rasmus Marcus Zemgus Ennis Nicholas Gorges Leafs can kiss my a##.
  20. Babcock is a good coach but I lost all respect for him when he signs with the Leafs and says he likes to win. Wins most zeros after a digit contest at his local bank.
