Marty

I'm thinking you oughtta take a bible and a bazooka.

C'mon Redneck, toughen up.

Geez, even I am up way too early. Must be the Lakair excitement kicking in. Good Mornin' all.

Nobody believes I'm Ed's spawn anyways. Just wait till you boys meet the Spawn of Marty. Thanks for the responses.

Thanks bud.

Is a certified birth certificate enough to get him across the border? I want to make sure I don't get stopped at the border. Thanks in advance.

Congrats! That's a pretty sweet deal. Too bad I'm so far away.

I really enjoyed that post. Thanks.

Me, Dad and Dawson . . . That's 38!

Congrats Stoty. The Wings deserved it. They are an outstanding team all the way around.. The Pens played hard and what we saw here is a preview of things to come. This core of this team is ridiculously young and it's going to be fun watching them mature.

Stoty, the way you whine it seems like your team is losing the series. Feeling the pressure, eh? If only we could get Malkin and Malone to wake up. I'd be a little concerned if my team was "dominating" the series but still finds ways to lose. Especially at home with a chance to eliminate a much lesser opponent, as some say. The Wings PP is nothing to brag about either. Fleury is a huge part of it but he doesn't score goals. Every playoff team needs great goaltending. You act as if it's something new. Say what you want, nobody gave them a chance last night and they pulled it off despite very long odds. Regardless of who wins the Cup, that was a big win for those guys. If it gets that far, I'd love to watch a Game 7 with you. Too bad we're so far apart.

Going into one of the toughest venues to play, down 3-1 against a much more experienced team and beating them in triple OT, that's impressive. Two of their key players are in major slumps and their youth has hurt more than I thought it would. The Pens are one game away from tying it up despite being outplayed for virtually the entire series. "Clearly on another level"? I want what you're smoking. This series is 3-2 and going back to Pittsburgh. The Pens rarely outshoot their opponents. They usually just make them count. I'll take where we are.

Maybe, maybe not . . . The Arena will be rocking. You may think so but I think our youngins aren't so sure the Wings won't lose 3 in a row. What they showed last night was pretty impressive. Everyone, including me, wrote them off. Sometimes the ignorance of youth pays off. By the way, the kick save Fleury made on the two man break was pretty unbelievable. Wow!

If he can pull up his pants and play like he did all year, we can give Stoty some anxiety. He made some plays last night but he's just not finishing the job.

Malkin and Malone have been invisible. We wouldn't be here without them but it sure would be nice to see them show up for a game in the finals. Boy, sure is fun here in Pittsburgh.

Want some cheese with that whine? The wings were outplayed . . . again. The score finally showed it!!!!!!!!!

Dang Kirk. Prophet? Stoty? Even I may be wrong. Feels good to be a Pens fan.

Detroit is just too experienced. Say all you want about the Pens but for such a young team, they played tough. Game 1 was tight until mid 3rd period. Game 2 was bad. Game 3 a win and Game 4 went down to the wire and the Pens had far better chances than the Wings. They just couldn't pull it off. Youth is getting the better of them but the Wings are very good. They don't make stupid mistakes and make you pay when you commit some, which the Pens did quite a bit. I'm glad I get to this these guys in Pittsburgh for some time. Rather be here than dealing with the mess in TO. The Wings deserve it. They are the better team.

Coona$$ 1: check; Coona$$ 2: check; Coona$$ 3: check; All coona$$e$ accounted for plus a few more. Dang, my dad is gonna love it.

Dad and I are definitely in. Hopefully my son will make his first Canadian trip this year too.

Atta boy 2Rs.

mover, I'll get back to you with a little more detail later. Just checkin in. The mouth of the French is very deep and much different the the West Arm. Fish are found on deeper reefs that seem to be in the middle of nowhere. I'll follow up tomorrow.

Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from, how many will you be with and where are you staying? I know the area extremely well but it can be very difficult to fish. I'll share what I can.

I'll see what I can do for you Wings fan. I may be at Game 4 and if anything else comes up, I'll let you know. Long shot though.

After 13 years, I finally need a new cover. The old one was custom made and worked well but time has caught up to it. Boat is a 16.5 foot aluminum semi v with a 70 hp Johnson and a 9.9 kicker. I know I need to measure the beam but it seems to me that I may be stuck with a 17 foot cover at BPS or Cabelas. I've never used a prefab cover and I am wondering if any of you have any experience buying them and could offer any advice. I'll be buying a good one because it usually makes at least two long trips a year plus various other trips. Thanks in advance.
