Nylander finally hits the net

That’s what I’ve been looking for, where did you source yours from? It’s actually really difficult to figure out where to buy them!

Now I see why the other guy I know that fished that tourney did so bad. He’s a shallow guy, 45 is far from shallow! You must have been putting on a fizzing clinic! Any recommendations for what fizzer you use? Been looking for a better one than the one I have.

The only win by any of those gm’s Was The rantanen signing. Bridge deals are typically considered to be a hold over for both the player and the team where neither party has won. I 100% agree that Dubas overpaid marner, the Matthews deal and the Nylander deal are both totally fine. Don’t lose track of the fact that just because John Tavares is making 11 million that he was actually offered 12+ to stay in Long Island or go elsewhere. Give Nylander the season to judge whether he’s worth 6.9 the way him and Matthews looked so far tells me it’s looking potentially like a very very good deal. the bridge deals you are seeing 100% reflect the exact problem that Toronto and marner we’re having during negotiations. Marner wanted a bridge deal as well reason being? A new TV deal plus the introduction of legal gambling revenues will be hitting the NHL in 3 years meaning that the cap is set to increase by a very significant margins 3 years from now...shocker, that’s exactly when all of these bridge deals are set to be renegotiated. Everyone is going to want a new deal to get a piece of that extra revenue chunk, meanwhile Toronto will have all of their top players already locked up, while also having ever increasing flexibility to build the supporting roster around them. The expectation here is that Toronto has a solid 5 year window to strongly compete. That’s hard to pull off, look at how long the jets and calgary’s Windows lasted? 1 year and now Winnipeg is going to struggle to even make the playoffs and Calgary is expected to have serious regression after they had a pile of luck last year go their way with injuries and older players basically having career years. If Nylander puts up close up 60+ points which he very easily could do if Matthews stays healthy, that contract looks dynamite. And don’t bring up old contracts in the argument, Sydney Crosby makes 8.7 million a year, Nathan McKinnon makes 5. You can’t make those comparisons. Marner is overpaid for sure but Matthews and Nylander probably aren’t.

We are all aware that NASA is at the forefront of tracking the changes associated with climate change right? They are an agency that works with multiple countries all over the world for the purposes of developing science and knowledge related to not only space exploration but also understanding the very planet we live on. They don’t maintain a specific political agenda specifically because canadian, British, US, Russian, Chinese politics all don’t mesh. The work that is done in outer space and by the agency sole purpose is to Complete scientific observation. They are the only type of organization that has satellites in outer space monitoring our planet. Their resume, I would argue speaks for itself? People walking on the moon, Rovers driving around on mars...I’d say their scientists are pretty decent? The government that funds their operations is actually anti-climate change. So can someone please explain the conspiracy theory surrounding the science that the 20,000 people employed by NASA are engaging in? I mean if it’s all lies? As we all know the more people that know a secret the harder it is to keep.

YouTube is where I get all of my facts and information from. Michael Scott knows what I’m talking about 1000’s of articles from scientists saying climate change is scientifically proven, one YouTube video comes out about “proposition 2” and the tinfoil hat crowd jumps right on it lol. sounds wayyyyy too much like “the new world order” chem trails, etc etc all great misinformation sspread by the deep hole that is the Internet. blanket statements about “liberals getting more money”...couldn’t possibly be that a group of blatant for profit businesses would lobby or spread misinformation right? Couldn’t possibly be the richest industry in the world trying to spread a little counter information, nah it’s those tree huggers that have it out for us lol.

Smitty is touching on a huge huge problem throw away culture is a disaster. Economics have driven us to always looking for the lowest price option rather than quality. We’ve exported all of our product engineering and manufacturing to China. we’ve achieved bottom of the barrel pricing but nothing is designed to last more than 10 years now. just a recent example, we had a microwave at the cottage that was literally from the early 80’s the thing finally pooched out 3 years ago after close to 40 years in service. My parents bought a cheap Walmart microwave as a replacement, the thing died this year after 2 years of operation. That’s what makes me laugh about our emission standards on small engines etc. great my two stroke 97 carbureted Yamaha spews a bit of blue smoke when she fires up, and probably burns a little too much gas but I can’t help but read the stories of guys that have bought mercury pro xs’s in the last 20 years and none of them seem to last more than 10 years before they blow a head, lose compression , have oil starvation issues due to the direct injection requirements on two strokes or torch their lower end. Throw the thing in the garbage and buy a new one. Meanwhile my 100% oem 25 year old motor runs like a top. cell phones, throw them out every 4 years the list goes on and on

This...my liquid cooled 2005 mxz can be a total pain in the ass in the spring when the snowpack is tight. Last year it was -25 and the damn thing was overheating because I was on a tight bumpy bush trail and couldn’t get the sled going quick enough to kick up enough snow to cool the pan. id personally get a Yamaha, I don’t trust anything made by bombardier anymore. Basically there’s 100000 annoyances with our mxz’s, the kill switches fail, the gas gauges were broken from new, the keys seem to keep having issues that cause the sleds to shut off forcing us to buy new keys every few years, we’ve had an entire engine fail..just all sorts of stupid stuff enough to scare me away. chatted this year with a guy on the lake riding a 2003 Yamaha, thing was bone stock he said he’d never had a single issue with it...I wasn’t surprised. don’t buy Polaris, and definitely don’t buy an arctic crap.

climate change deniers remind me of this guy

it used to be 100% acceptable to literally pick a spot, wherever that spot was and just throw your garbage, oil, whatever chemicals etc etc you had right there. You swap the tires on your truck? Burn em. Heck, go for a walk in the forest behind my cottage you will literally find "the dump" where everyone that lived on my cottages road threw their trash. that said trash is still there 40-50 years later polluting the forest. I work in the automotive recycling industry and my mom told me the change in mentality is wild, when she grew up there was literally a "spot" in town where everyone drove their cars out on a rock cliff and did their oil changes. The spot was good because the oil just poured out and then down off of the cliff. Heck im sure you can remember the 90's? When we just dumped our used oil on a gravel road so that it kept the dust down? No one thought about the fact that when it rained all of that oil just dumped right into our lake? Lake Ontario in the 80's? Care to go for a swim? Like most things that humans do, we think its a great idea and then we realize "holy crap were gonna kill ourselves if we dont stop" and then some action is taken. Carlin references plastic bags like its a joke...plastic bags have only existed for less than 100 years but there is a pile of them now floating in the ocean the size of texas. Sitting back and saying "meh I dont care to do nothing, the planet will be fine with our human garbage and slobbery" is a terrible mentality.

....You do realize that acid rain was stopped by placing environmental controls on emissions? the ozone hole was also fixed by The Montreal Protocol when countries agreed to ban the use of ozone depleting refrigerants. Climate change is proven by science, trust me, there is far more money to be saved/made by doing nothing and allowing fossil fuels to continue to be burned unchecked and for the population to keep expanding so that more and more people can buy products from corporations in a cycle of never ending growth. Your "facts" about the fact that dinosaurs lived on a much hotter planet actually directly correlates to the climate science that you are attempting to debunk that is causing global warming. During the dinosaur times there was extremely high levels of volcanic activity which caused an over running emissions of Co2 which caused a greenhouse effect heating the planet. Furthermore, the reason it was so hot in Drumheller during the time of the dinosaurs? Pangaea hadnt fully split up yet meaning alberta was a lot closer to the equator. Im not looking to get this thread locked, or start any arguments, I myself personally dont believe there is anything that we can do except reduce our population if we want to stop global warming. But I cant sit idle and allow people to say a bunch of blanket scientifically false statements. The planet is heating up, its our fault, its not a "theory" its scientific fact backed by 99% of scientists. Even big oil companies have now admitted that it is happening. What to actually do about it is what is open for debate. As outdoorsmen, i think its somewhat of a shame for us to not actively give a damn about the environement. Forget global warming, Im talking about all things to protect mother nature, pollution reduction, re-using and recycling. All of these things are important if we want to have a healthy planet for our kids, grandkids, and their families to live on. Im glad to see we are making very significant progress, recycling is second nature to most people these days, programs to recycle the oil, tires and other automotive fluids are the rule not the exception now. Our cars and boats are progressively becoming more fuel efficient and emitting less. Most non idiots know that we shouldnt throw garbage in the forest/lake/ditch or burn it as was standard practice back in the 70's. At least people are clued into the fact that the planet is a finite resource, we can all do our part to try and keep her clean and healthy.

you definitely are overpowered tho for the maximum HP ?

Lots of talk about how to fix climate change but no talk about the planet being overpopulated. climate change is a real human driven problem. In order to fix the problem we cannot continue to grow our population exponentially. Any measures taken are pointless if we continue to grow so fast. We have not surprisingly infested and destroyed our own planet. The only way to fix it now is to talk about neutralizing our growth.

You know what the good news is about having guys that can score an absolute tonne like AM JT MItchy Willy Reilly and barrie is? It’s wayyyy harder to find guys that can score than it is to find big guys that can hit and play physical. One takes far more talent and ability than the other. luckily you’ve got these guys all signed up for an extended period of time, allowing you to experiment with the line up and take repeated runs and make adjustments. trust me, there’s a lot of teams (Montreal?) that don’t even have one person as talented at scoring while Toronto has like 5

I know exactly what you are saying, however I think the point is that, the guys are young and inexperienced, it’s not that they are too wimpy, they just need to get a bit more grizzled. Give it time, trust me I remember being 20 years old and playing against a bunch of guys in their 30’s in men’s league, I’m not a big guy so it made it even worse but I remember thinking holy heck getting your ass kicked by a bunch of big men with full beards that had 30llbs more muscle than me sucked. if you recall, Toronto played the big bad bruins last year and had them absolutely on the ropes and a their inexperience in closing a team out let them down. They didn’t have the total killer instinct, I think they came in and knew they could do it, they then had Boston on life support but let off of the gas. This was the big bad Boston bruins. 7 foot Chara was basically given a green light by the nhl to hack and slash and hook everyone in sight because he couldn’t keep up with them. saying AM and Marner disappear in the playoffs is a longgggg stretch marners got 13 points in 14 career playoff games, hard to be invisible hanging out on the score sheet every game. matthews had 6 points in 7 games including 4 of those being goals in that Boston series. their defense let them down last year, don’t get it twisted. You weren’t going to win much with nikita zaitsev and Ron hainsey playing in your top 4. Good thing they are playing on a team that’s more in line with their abilities now...the senaturds they will put it together. The guys are maturing and look more and more confident with every passing month.

I will say that after thinking about whether it would have been possible for the old driver switcheroo to have occurred, if you’ve ever been questioned by the police, they are usually pretty good at figuring out who was doing what by asking a lot of questions from everyone involved while you are isolated from everyone else. Typically If the stories aint lining up perfectly the truth isn’t being told. if you immediately lawyer up, then the investigation starts digging away.

A little overstated unless you are running lithium’s, but it’s close. Gotta pay to play! 3 agms, charger, marine wiring, fuses, panel. I just redid my entire boat. It’s only 24 volt and I run my units off of my starting battery. But yup, some days my wallet misses the pull starter and ice fishing lead acid batteries in my old tinner lol

You are leaving out the fact that rich teams like Toronto front load deals using bonuses so that the player retains their entire salary at the point of signing. Aka nearly the entirety of the cash is already in Auston Matthews pocket. Meaning he is free to invest it and turn it for more money than chabot who has to wait for his pay day every year the interest alone on $50,000,000 is insane

You really think 20 year old 5’11 180lb Nick suzuki was going to fight someone on the leafs? What you are implying here is the same crap we had back in the day...so if it was the leafs, that collision happens, Babcock puts out wade belak to settle the score, and Montreal puts out Georges Laraque. Belak chirps Suzuki, then Georges steps in. They have a staged fight and apparently all is right in the world again. then wade belak has CTE from fighting so much and ends up committing suicide. Now you maybe get why the NHL is lowering its tolerance for this kind of stuff. Imagine you had to fight an MMA fight every single day of the week as an enforcer. It’s not healthy. UFC fighters are suspended from competing after every fight for a set period of time. you might go and punch Suzuki square in the face and then end up suspended. Just like when kadri drove buddies head through the boards after he hit Marleau. That really helped the leafs out. Also the knee wasn’t intentional, the guy literally won the award for most sportsmanlike player in the entire OHL Last season. The game is too fast. Some collisions are unavoidable, it’s a different story when it’s a guy like ristolinan doing it that has a history of that kind of garbage. the old NHL these pre season games would have had some young big tough guy his entire goal for the game would have been to go and try concuss Mitch marner and then win the subsequent fight to show that he was big and tough. It makes sense that people would rather watch marner play than some hack tough guy

SHAMMMEEEEEE also I think the ladies would enjoy the nudity

No proof he was the one that tried to enter the car, he neve exposed himself. Look at the charge itself, it’s a drunken disorderly charge. No harrasment, no indecent exposure, no physical harm. he was charged for being intoxicated in public...that’s it the PTSD deal? What the hell kind of person thinks they’d make a good security guard if they are scared of people at night time? Also important to note, apparently AM was also accompanied by women at the time of the incident as well. I vote for immediate lashing, public humiliation death march down bay street, followed by crucifixion on the steps of queens park

Asston trashedthews i don’t wanna live in 2019 anymore listening to twitter and sports radio today you’d think he had a raging hard on, was banging on her car to try get in and rape her. Good grief

Battery issue, had the same problem with my 7...battery swap, problem fixed

the "its not her fault because it was night time" angle doesnt apply. Thats the same complaint people that crash their car when it snows give. They act like the weather caused the accident. If you are driving a boat fast enough at night that you cant see another boat, you are at fault regardless of if they have lights on or not. Although its not the situation here, I can assure you that there has been countless situations where people have been stranded at night with a bad battery in their boat which hasnt allowed them to turn on their navigation lights. In this case the people that shut their lights off are indeed in the wrong, but so are you for not driving according to conditions.

i will never buy another ram again. Made the mistake once will never go back. My best buddy is driving a 2016, he just hit 170k and his truck is now eating oil. Dont even get me started on my eco diesel.
