  1. The ice? We'll have to see, the temps for the short term shouldn't hurt it too much, but the rain in the forecast might. There is lots of free parking spaces on a Saturday at this time of year. Edit: Wow I type/think slow.
  2. The short answer about the camera is: It depends. A point and shoot digital is not likely to be a problem at all. Although you are not supposed to take video with it. SLRs and DSLRs, and the lenses in particular are looked at with much more scrutiny. Because you are part of a promo you may have a better chance to get in with a DSLR and long lens. The rep from the Leafs or the company involved in the promo should be able to help you with that. You'll get a special coloured band to put on you camera, or camera bag to say you're "checked-out" and good to go. I have been to a couple of games as part of a special promo and went through this process. I have also gone to a game with a regular ticket and had my long lens put in a secure lock-up because it was deemed too long, but not every time . The security people, and then a MLSE rep when you complain, will tell you it is a league (NHL) policy, however when I've gone to Buffalo and Ottawa for games I've had no issues at all and have been told that it is the individual arenas to set the policy. In Buffalo the only thing I was told was that I was not allowed to use the Camera holes in the glass down in the corners that the pros use. The choice is yours, but I say bring the big stuff and have a point and shoot has a back up. Pregame warm-up from the penalty box November 2009 Toscala stops Ovie in the shoot-out for a Leafs win.

  3. I'm a definite maybe. We'll see what this week brings.
  4. I don't know if this is the same one or not, but it is quite dramatic. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/video/world-22186928/raw-video-tsunami-wave-smashes-boats-and-cars-24512103.html
  5. With the Leafs playing Buffalo last night, they were talking about the french connection line. The Fan590 also had Gilbert Perrault on the radio Friday morning.
  6. Since it will be a two piece I'd go longer almost for sure. For most of us half a foot might not make much of a difference. What size of boat, if any, will you be fishing out of? I lean towards shorter rods in my canoe. Another thing to look at if you are comparing rod length is how much "working" rod is there from the reel seat to the tip.
  7. Go easy with the bleach, and for goodness sake wear a mask, it's dusty in there. Good tip.
  8. No problem, just show up an hour early for work.
  9. I'm trying not to run around like my 2 year old son when he gets an oh so occasional timbit.
  10. And CO2 detectors if they need 'em
  11. It's 6pm, tomorrow it will be this light out at 7pm... At least for most of us. I know the time change isn't great for everyone, but it is nice to have some more daylight after work to play.
  12. If it was me, you'd never know about it. I'd go fishing EVERYWHERE!
  13. I looked it up as well. I do a reasonable job on simple edges (Meaning: I can still count to 10, don't cut myself, and the edge doesn't get worse) but this looks interesting.
  14. Tackletour has looked at them: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast09rodsabugarcia.html
  15. Looks like episodes 1, 2 and 3.
  16. Don't break it down that way Brian. How much did it cost per fish?
  17. Pretty miserable around the lake the last few days and for the next few as well. I may not be out on the ice again this season. Time for some running water.
  18. This year and last it has moved to the metro convention centre on front street. No free parking, but it is on the transit line and GO. There is a family pass depending on how old, and how many, "children" you have.
  19. Air Canada??? Now there is a company that has made nothing but sound business decisions through out its existence. Too bad there is already a long line of grand standers fighting for their face-time. Any politician pursuing this would have four words from me: GET BACK TO WORK!
  20. I'll be going after 5pm to save $28 between my wife and myself. I to think $19 is a lot, but if the price was impacting the number of visitors they would change it.
  21. You'll have more luck moving those ones.
