I love this grab! Good for Shanny! All the haters will hate this move cause it brings nothing but positiveness and a great start..As for Buffalo ha ha ha looks good on them..

I dunno. Buffalo gets to pick , 2,21,25,31,43 and 51 in the first two rounds while the Laffs get 4 and 24. That's a lot of good young talent in a year or two for Buffalo. Now Toronto .....well....????

I like Buffalo's chances than Taranta's over the next couple of years to get to the playoffs. Babcock is good, that's good with 2 o's not one. Good luck Mike, you're gonna need it.

Been saying that for years and I all I heard is how great Kissel is/was.

Yeah, right.

It will take a lot more than a coach to change this group around. Sit players out, no way , Kissel won't allow it.

Trade Kissel....are you kidding, who wants him? He's a "sniper" remember?

Dion, same thing, who wants him? Trade him for a roll of tape maybe.

We'll see in the first 20 games what impact Babcock really has. You can't turn a mule into a thoroughbred, and the Laffs are just high paid mules.

Now back to real hockey. How about dem BOLTS?

Not to worry. Kessel will tell Babcock what to do. It will be status quo by mid season. Babcock will be fired by mid season and Kessel will complain that he's under paid. Welcome to The Laffs Mike. Good Luck!

Lemme see.....my change of luck tricks.

Clean and reorganize the tackle box.

Change the terminal gear

Use that lure that worked 30 years ago

Try something absolutely crazy like popcorn for bait

Wander around a tackle shop and spend a lot of money

Start fishing at mid day instead of the morning

Spend a lot of time just bush wacking and watching the fish

Change lucky hat

Spit on lure/bait

Don't eat while fishing

Eat while fishing

Try a different knot

Cast into a tree across the river then try and get the lure back

Make fun of anyone that catches anything.

Make fun of the the stick I just caught

Think how lucky I am not to be a Leaf fan

Bolts turned it on last night. Awsome!

Laffs

Not Fishing or Non-Fishing

The Rouge rive at the end of Lawrence Ave has a shallow bay that has carp and bullheads. Never caught a pike or bass there. I've tested the action of my buzzbaits and spinner baits there a lot of times when I lived in Scarborough years ago. The parking lot is a stones throw from the water. The water between the train bridge and Lake Ontario is usually free of fishermen and I have Never caught a thing there.

Yah never know in the playoffs. OV is playing well and I won't cheer for any team from NY.

Go Caps!

Apsey Lake is about 10 minutes from Espanola. The Lodge off Hwy 6, used to rent boats, not sure about that now. Great Walleye fishing and Pike. The Bass are huge there. Both Largemaouth and smallmouth available. Top water fishing is great there.

Clear Lake is good for Smallmouth too. Canoe rentals available at the motel.

Penage lake road has a bunch of Lakes available for shore fishing. Google maps will show the way. Lenard lake has some good shore fishing. I go out every day.

Virtually any body of water within a 20 minute drive has great fishing.

If you have a water craft the launch ramp at Black Creek connects to the Spanish river.

There isn't much private land that you have to worry about in this area other than the obvious camp property. People are still pretty laid back here. Toronto mentality sticks out like a sore thumb here in the north.

A great run. Congrats to the Bolts. Go Caps!

No sense for him to coach the Laffs bench......nothing to coach!

Well the Habs are back in it. Great hockey, period. Love the playoffs. Go Habs go!

Ottawa just signed a great goalie prospect. Go Sens go.

The Laffs just signed a new Zamboni driver.

I dunno, they did pretty good last night.

Caught a Christmas tree trolling. Lights and all. Even the stand was there.

I've got a largemouth bass in my favourite lake that I've caught on(6 out of 7 years) and off for years. Some years I've caught it a dozen times. Same gash on the left side and the same pelvic fin is missing. he/she's gotten bigger over the years. Same spot on the edge of a weed bed by a busy swimming area. I've caught it on the surface (buzz bait, chug bugs), crank baits, jigs and plastics for the last 7 years.Always caught early in the morning, It just gets a little bigger every year.

I spend a couple days each year just targeting this one fish just to see if it's still alive. Kinda makes my summer. It's now a sort of summer tradition. I even named it "Charlie".

You might say it has been a magical "March" - pun intended.

Although I hate to say it, the Leafs actually played a pretty good game last night. It was even "entertaining"

Now how about those SENs, huh?

Phil gets a bad rap for his appearance of health, but who won the fastest skater comp at the all star game? You don't get to that level without dedicated training. He's probably got horse legs like Marty st louis

Now if he only had Marty's work ethic.

Your above statement is contradictory...

You don't get to the NHL without working hard

Yup, I agree, but you're supposed to KEEP working once you get there.

 

UHHHH, you mean 3-3 tie right?

5-3. Gotta love a team that wants to win.

Easy does it, the guy did battle cancer.

"If floater Phil had a heart like Kyle Lowery or Jose Bautista he'd be a Mario Lemieux on steroids."

So did Mario Lemieux and he didn't mail it in .....ever.

Sens winning 2-0

TSN just did a piece on the Laffs. Harachek called out the "stars" and singled them out for lack of effort and little or no work ethic. Of course fat boy danced around that and ho-hummed his way through that. "The +/- stat is very misleading". Yup, it's worse than than misleading. TSN focused on that issue too.

Not A leaf hater, I just can't stand lazy over paid self-entitled, wimpy pretenders and the lemmings that praise them.

Please don't trade magic hands Phil, I need another season of laughter next year.

For the Ottawa haters, at least they are giving it tier all, something the loafs simply refuse to do.

Love the Rapports and Blue Jays. Both teams give 100% all the time ALL the time.

If floater Phil had a heart like Kyle Lowery or Jose Bautista he'd be a Mario Lemieux on steroids.

Ottawa, LOL!!!!

You spelled Toronto wrong, again!

The way you talk about this guy its like Phil took you out for a nice seafood dinner and then never called you again.

 

Get over it man!

Shouldn't talk that way about your hero. He might cry,

And leading the league (from the bottom) in +/- is ...................... "magic hands", the thriller,the sniper, the one and only 10 million dollar man,the quiet superstar, and the heart of the Laffs............number 81 in your hearts and number 853 in the league , Phiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil Kessel.

Go Sens.
