  1. I would have loved Cozens on the Jets roster. Ottawa gave up a lot for him, Norris is a good player.
  2. The Coilers have needed goaltending for ages. Looks good on them. I despise that team almost as much as TO.
  3. You mean the fact that Ukraine wants to join but Russia doesn't want them to because they won't be able to invade Ukraine any more or if the states wasn't due south of us, who is going to stop Russia from invading? I'll answer that for you...nobody.
  4. Chantel grew up in Winnipeg. Her father is from Lockport and grew up not far from where I live now in Lockport. She is married to the lead singer of Our Lady Peace. My two cents...didn't care for her rendition at all. Henderson's goal will always be considered the biggest goal in hockey for people that are old enough to remember. I'd say number 2 is Lemieux's goal in the 1987 Canada cup. McJesus' goal isn't considered as high because it wasn't the best players in hockey in the tourney. No Russians, no Draisatl, no Ehlers, no Stutzle, Seider, Peterka, Pasta, Necas and the list goes on and on. It had serious meaning to it because of Trump. Imagine, Trump has brought out the worst in Canadians (lots of other places as well) and we are booing a country's anthem? I was at the Sharks' game last night and some people were booing the anthem. Facking classless. I wouldn't even boo the Russian anthem and you don't want to know what I think of Putin. (I'd love to introduce him to a 180 Nosler partition Let's just leave it at that).You should boo the man, not the country. If the USA wasn't due south of us the ruskies would be in Edmonton in under a half a day for Christ's sake. It was a great game and I think Binnington played well and stood on his head in OT and that really surprised me. Very evenly matched and lots of intensity. They should have it every 4 years two years after/before the Olympics. They have to find out a way to get the world's best players out there, not just 4 countries. My two cents.
  5. Austin Matthews leaves him alone in the slot. It was a great game though.
  6. His impact in this tournament has been very close to zero.
  7. From what I remember nobody wanted him on Buffalo when the post was up whether you should trade for him or not?
  8. Send Cozens to Winnipeg.
  9. I was at the Canes game on the 4th and the better half asked me if I was going to boo the American anthem. I said no. She said, I thought you hated Trump? I said I hate trump, not the country. It's classless if you ask me. For the record, Canadians aren't just pissed at him just for the 51st state comment. We're also pissed off that he said he wants Greenland and the Panama canal and his comments on the Gaza strip, or how he put it, it could be the "Riviera of the Middle East". I don't think Canada has the goaltending to win and there have been some strange roster choices including not having Thompson playing goal. He's lost only twice during regulation and has a .921 sv% and Montembault is on the team??? Doughty is just back from a serious injury and you play him over Sanheim??? He shouldn't even be on the team! Don't even start about Scheif not being on the team although I am happy he is resting. The States are the team to beat and Finland really couldn't do much once they started to pour it on. Nice to see Helle have a good game but Connor wasn't that noticeable at all. Their backup goalies are better than the Canadian starters. On a side note, do the Habs buy Laine out of his contract this summer or trade him at the TDL? He's horrible and I can't see MSL putting up with his play much longer. What a waste. Another side note, about how much is a ticket in the nosebleeds between the bluelines at a Sabres' game? TIA May the best team win tonight and let's hope the refs call a fair game.
  10. Most players like playing here once they get here. They are on the road for half the time anyway. They can go back home or wherever they like in the off season. Besides -40 isn't THAT cold...
  11. Andersson's AAV is an affordable 4.45m but he is only under contract for one more season. Weegar has 6 more seasons at 6.5m and is better defensively. Leave the O to Dahlin and let Weegar be the hard to play against D man that he is. Weegar and Dahlin could be a top pairing in the league. What would it take from the Jets to pry Cozens away? We don't really have the depth to trade a RHD.
  12. Not a bad game by either team. Glad we got at least a point. It should help a bit with the confidence.
  13. The referee did us a favor I wish they would have gave him a game misconduct as well. Freaking useless.
  14. They're really missing Samberg as a 2LHD and the still continue to trot out that liability pylon named Stanley. Don't mean to bitch but this is the Jets' 13th game in 26 nights where they haven't played in the same city twice in a row. They play in Chicago on Saturday and back home on Sunday for Columbus which will make 15 games in 29 days without playing in the same city two games in a row. Don't get me started about the time zone changes during this period. Expect to see a team that loses energy in the 3rd and maybe even sooner.
  15. Should be a close one. We've lost 4 in a row and can't score. Ehlers is out...Samberg is out and Scheifele is playing hurt. I wonder if Comrie starts? Good luck boys and let's hope the refs call a fair game!
  16. Get rid of the GM. Get the new one to fix the goalie situation.
  17. I was out yesterday with my brother and we caught about 10 fish. This one came in at 29 and 3/4 in. What a freaking tank! He has caught bigger but I have never seen one this big caught by angling...not in person.
  18. Comrie is 3-0-0 with a sv% of .915 so far!
  19. Kyle Connor having a whale of a game tonight in Detroit.
  20. You have to throw them back to make sure the big ones stay in the system. We have a world-class fishery when it comes to the Red River where you can catch a Master angler in five or six different species. Since I started fishing the river two or three weekends ago I have caught a Master angler Bullhead a Master angler channel catfish a Master angler gold eye and I caught a walleye that was 3/4 of an inch away from a Master angler. We have people from all over up here right now fishing the Red River for walleye. It isn't all that hard to go out in June and catch 30 or 40 big catfish with most of them being over 30 in and hardly any under 24. I don't believe you are allowed to keep a walleye over 28 in either. Some people that live around here don't realize the great fishery we have. I forgot to say, there's nothing wrong with a 16-year-old cutting up a pike and trying it out.
  21. Comrie gets a W in his first game played this season.
  22. We only kept 4 walleye and 1 sauger that day. That 25 incher went back to grow bigger and lay more eggs and hopefully become a master angler (28 inches) for someone else to catch. Nobody wanted the Pike and you're supposed to throw anything over a 24 inch catfish back. My bro and I were out today and probably caught 65-75 saugers. We kept 6 and my fiance and the two of us ate them when we got home and cleaned them up. I don't mind keeping walleye in the freezer if I could ever get around to catching more than a few of them. I might have 7 or 8 lbs. in the freezer right now but most will go at a family dinner in a couple weeks. No food goes to waste. If we hook a fish in the gill, we try our hardest to get the hook out with minimal damage. Barbs are not allowed in Manitoba so it makes that job easier. If we don't think he is going to make it, he comes home with us. Back at it tomorrow morning.
  23. It was a fun time with an old friend I recently re-connected with and a friend of his. The 31 inch cat was the first cat I have seen taken while trolling. Not common to catch pike in the river but certainly not uncommon. The 35 that I caught was hooked on is tail. It is right up there as the best freshwater fight I have had. I hooked a 36 inch carp by the dorsal fin years ago and it was quite the fight as well. I was reeling this cat in for 3 or 4 turns of the reel thinking it was another small sauger and then it almost pulled my rod (2nd time I had the rod and reel out since I bought them) out of my hand. I caught a 27 inch walleye the first day out with it. Staying away from the river today and tomorrow as there are a couple of wallye derbies going on but will hit it again on Monday. The next 8 days will consist of 6 days of going after fish, ducks and grouse. I might slip in a day for alcohol. Come on down. 25 minutes out of Winnipeg. I'll take you out. Regarding saugers, they breed with walleye and you get a hybrid they call saugeye. I am sure some of them were saugeye.
  24. About 50 saugers and five keeper walleye as well as a 25-in that went back in the water. A 33 inch northern pike, a 31-in channel catfish and a 35 inch Channel catfish. All fish were caught trolling in 12 ft of water banging crank baits off the bottom.
  25. You can't tell the difference.
