If it were 1/3 or 1/2 of a season then he would have a point.
Some hacks write anything just to stir the pot and get people to read their drivel (check out Paul Friessen and Gary Lawless from Winnipeg to see what I mean).
Kane gives his all every shift of every game.
Recreational drugs? No rumor of that for his time spent here...Bogo on the other hand......

Taken in Chicago at the Botanical Gardens...

Just use your favorite one....I also like Western steak spice but the most important part is having the meat dry so the batter sticks better and let it stay on the fork for about 3 seconds when you put the piece in the oil and sear (for lack of better word) it before you let it go from fork. Dry meat is the single most important thing for a good batter. How thick/thin and a temp of 375F are the others.
Also, if the fish you are frying are a bit bigger/older than what you like, try using 7UP ... it takes some of the FISHY? taste out of it.
-
Batter.......Pepper, Hy's Steak Spice and flour with beer or water....I usually use water as I drink imported beer and it is too expensive.
Thicker for fish and thinner for duck or chicken or something more dense than fish.
I use the same batter for mushrooms and onion rings.
I bought a plucker last year and plucked some Redheads and mallards and a Canvasback we got on Friday....in the freezer waiting for my gf's recipe this winter.
Back at er on Thursday morning.

I consider myself a Canadian and my ancestry is Metis and Scottish on my father's side and Ukrainian on my mother's side.
I only found out I had Metis in my background about 12-15 years ago.
Lots of First Nation peopel prefer not to be called indians and think it is derogatory but I grew up with lots of indians and call them that to their faces and they know I am not saying it in a racist way.
Metis and First Nations are different and the Metis only got their harvester rights in 2012.
I had family over today and got rave reviews for the deep fried duck breasts and hearts.
-
Daily limits are 8 and possession are 24. I give a lot away to older folks that don't have access to wild birds and I eat a LOT. Will be doing about 10 breasts Saturday for a family dinner.
Also, I am a Metis Indian so I can have as much in my freezer as I choose. I don't go over daily limits while I hunt and don't allow anyone I am hunting with regardless if they can or not. If you get 8 ducks in a day that is enough for anyone.
I eat ducks all winter long and into the spring. I have an annual bash every August in honor of a friend that passed away in 1998 and keep about 10-12 ducks for that as well. A few weeks after the bash it is hunting season so I am eating ducks all year long. I also eat as much ruffed grouse as I can if I am lucky enough to harvest any. I don't hunt big game any more but would never turn down moose meat if any friends offer.
-
Just so you guys don't think we are shooting ducks in a barrel....two of us were out from sun up to sundown yesterday in a marsh I know that is 75 minutes north on the edge of Lake Winnipeg. Seven ducks for the whole day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offense ducky, but it sounds like its safe to assume you have never seen kasdorf play a game in the ncaa. He had an amazing freshman year and suffered a severe injury at the start of his second year.
And if I was just picking goalies off stats with no consideration of team/talent/potential, then I would click http://www.collegehockeynews.com/stats/overall-goalie.php?s=20142015 and choose any of the top statistical goalies (virtually all without nhl affiliates) and pick one of them.
My only point is none of us know how kasdorf will be, so I don't really get the putting him down comments. That's all, no biggie. And I'm sure if Murray and our scouts had the choice between goalies, their scouting reports pointed towards kasdorf. That's fair to assume, they didn't pick him randomly or because they had his stars upside down
No offense taken but for last year, the goalie I am talking about was ranked third.
-
This is Kasdorf's 4th year at R.P.I. so I don't think he is a freshman. His sv% last year was .902 and he went 11-19-2 with a 2.97 GAA. Phillips went 28-9-2 with a .933 sv% and a 1.74 GAA average in his 3rd year.Who would you go after in a trade?
I'm wrong then but TSN has him as a +1.
I just watched the highlights....he carried the puck into the O zone and was the deepest man in so someone should have covered for him. Not sticking up for him as his play has been only average but a forward should have covered for him.
-
Thorny,
Wow, that must be THE place for stats. Can you explain to me how the Rangers only got one goal (on the PP) and he is a -1? They have a number one stats guy working for them I guess. He finished a +1. Forgot to mention, Staf set up the screen on the PP goal by Ehlers. He drew an assist on the play, too. The coach has confidence in him and is playing him in all situations. He is playing on the PK, the second PP line and his line is going up against the other team's top line.
All I said earlier was Murray went after the wrong goalie prospect and should have went after Phillips. We have 2 prospects that are ranked in the top 10 goalie prospects ahead of him and he probably could have been had. I think he finished the year last season with about a .930-.935 sv%.
Johnny Danger Face,
Where did Kasdorf play his junior hockey? WHL? QMJHL? No, the MJHL which has produced VERY few NHL players. Sixth round I believe.
I agree that it is hard to tell how good a goalie is going to be but I would make a bet he plays less than 10 games in the NHL if any at all.
"Kasdorf, a Winnipeg native, was believed to be a sentimental pick for the Jets in their first draft since re-locating from Atlanta and is the first player drafted from the Portage Terriers in 40 years."
-
Stafford was on the PK tonight and looked good on it.
Myers played a strong game as well.
I actually liked his game tonight...D zone and O zone.
They both had an assist and finished plus one for the game.
Myers had about 22 minutes and Staf had about 18.
I'm more satisfied with Staf's game than Myers' to be honest...I know the season is still young.
Kasdorf? Be glad if he is a backup on the farm.
-
As far as I'm concerned, if the Bruins never made the playoffs again, it would be too soon.
I don't care who plays for them (exemption Bobby Orr), I hate them if they are a Bruin.
They got schooled ont he Hamilton trade and screwed up royally in the first round of the draft....it looks good on them.
When I was in Cuba earlier this year, I met a guy from Boston...the convo went something like this...
"Hi, I'm Jim and I'm from Canada."
"Hi, I'm Steve and I'm from Boston."
"Hi Steve, I hate your hockey team."
"I get a lot of that."

The wind this morning was 47 mph and gusting to 73 mph..I had never hunted in wind like this before. We got out limits before 11am and Black Lab we had retrieved them all and it was his first time ever retrieving for an actual hunt!....made his owner proud....also got a Ross ' Goose as well.

Burmistrov Lowry Stafford
-
He has a great shot and one of the fastest skaters in the league but needs to use his line mates a bit more.
Bogo is still out?
-
Stafford scores a goal on a great passing play and finishes with 2 points and a +2. His line mates finish with a +1 and a +4 and the line scores 5 points. Not bad for playing most of the game against the Bruins #1 line. Stafford was one of the best players on the ice if you ask me. Myers didn't do anything to hurt the team and carried the puck well and seems to gain the O zone fairly easy. Playing with Enstrom tends to make a D man look good though... You're not going to see Stafford on the 4th line for very long. Although, the 4th line did put up 3 points and a goal tonight and they all finished as plus players. Pavs held the team in it when the Bruins were taking the game to the Jets. Not sure who the stars were but I would have Pavs as #1 star and Stafford as #2 star.
Bogo is still not playing? How did Kaner look? I see he assisted on Eichel's goal.
-
You've got to make the playoffs first........
He'll be playing with two VERY responsible players and going against the opposition's top lines...
I can't see him playing on the 4th line much at all.
-
Scuttlebut is that Staf is playing on the checking line with Lowry and Burmistrov and he is looking forward to it.....lotsa minutes every game.
-
What is bollixed?
There were rumors about Bogo's extracurricular activities before he was traded but not sure how true they were.
Who is Kaner playing with?
-
How are Bogo and Kaner doing in the preseason?
-
If Kane stays healthy, he gets my vote........
-
Myers got Staf the puck and he made sure he got past center and then tipped it past his defender and skated around him, picked up the puck and netted it....he played a really good, sound, veteran game all night. I love Myers' O smarts but he better pick it up some n the D side although it is early. If I were Pavs, I'd be mad about the last goal, he played well and didn't deserve that last goal scored on him....those used to drive Scotty Bowman nuts.
-
Stafford played very well last night as did Myers. Joined up on the winning goal.
Let the season begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just started reading Thunder and Lightning by John Ferguson....yup, he and Phil Esposito named their book Thunder and Lightning.

I don't agree that the Sabres had the upper hand.
That was, by far, the first time Kane "misbehaved" and he wanted out of here for some time.
I am sure Chevy could have traded him long before the track suit incident.
If he didn't find someone to trade with, he would have held on to Kane until draft day.
You could even argue that he might have got more on draft day. (I would have offered Kane to the Canes for their chance at Hanifin and next year's 1st rounder or the three the Sabres got for Faulk and Hanifin but that's me.
The Sabres are missing a bona fide starting goalie and you won't go far in the league without one.
