The trainer told ovi- just humor me here, lets go back to the dressing room for a bit so it looks like I'm doing my job and following the protocol ovi and the trainer are biased, that's why spotters are in place down the road it's dirt bags like ovi that sue the NHL for not protecting them

Oshie should be gone, he took the brunt of it, with his concussion history and his history of complaining about how long he has to sit out after a concussion, Ovi should be out of the game too, after head trauma he laid on the ice holding his head? these spotters and this protocol is a joke

I believe that. They bought the shop and then moved to town from somewhere else. I don't think the husband gets out and fishes that much either. One Saturday morning in the shop he said to me "holy crap, did you see how busy Lake Z is?" I said "yeah, some dummy posted a glowing report on OOD from Lake Z last Tuesday, hence everybody from Toronto who fishes is now there". Although this post might be better for business, the husband seemed to be really ticked off at this guy posting stuff like that. What did you think of the previous owner Jack, singingdog? That guy was homegrown, fished a lot, knew a lot, had a circle of friends who fished a lot, but was very tight lipped. The owner before was John. Nice guy, more sociable, knowledgeable, but he still knew not to give out too much information.

I never thought of it that way, what you say makes sense. It's a small town though, if they were giving out too much information that would piss some people off and be bad for business too.

Well, it looks like I got my wish, https://www.nhl.com/news/auston-matthews-mitchell-marner-new-linemates-to-spark-struggling-toronto-maple-leafs/c-304118686 The only other thing I ask of Babs, play'em 22 plus minutes and keep the line together for a few games

totally, is it coincidence or did the chemistry get stuffed up, the timing was bang on, I'm not overly worried right now, I think the cream will rise to the top, it's better to be slumping now instead of in April

I hear ya, I don't like the contract either, but Nylander sitting benefits nobody, the puck isn't going in for him right now but he does have some pizzazz, I'm thinking hopefully he hits his stride and we use him this post season then trade or dump him to free up cap space

I'm gonna vent a bit here- Babs has been juggling lines pretty good during this slump but he absolutely refuses to play AM with Marner because he's too proud and pig headed to do so, JT with Kappi and Johnsson as a second line could easily click too, desperate times call for desperate measures but Bab's ego is bigger than his commitment to winning I still have hope for Dubas, I'm hoping he's young and fresh with ingenuity but something in the back of my mind thinks he could turn out to be a typical Leafs GM

yes he was, they got the 3 stars of the game right, It's hard to watch Sparks tonight, 2 goals on 7 shots, I have the feeling his confidence is gone and he might not ever get it back, I know Sparks is Dubas' baby from the Marlies Calder Cup last year, but how long will management continue playing Sparks when he is terrible? write him off christs sakes and move on, we've got Hutch, this flogging a dead horse is costing us huge

tampa hasn't lost at home since November, well, they lost at home tonight

I got bluff charged by a smaller bear not too far from where this video was taken, scared the hell out of me My wife is a bit nervous of bears, I didn't and won't show her this video, lol

Fire River is south of Hearst, north of Chapleau

I like the owners of Minden Bait. Nice people, good conversation, my dozen minnows is more like 2 dozen. I don't want my local bait shop giving out information and blowing up lakes. They must hear lots of stuff, but being tight lipped is good IMO. The previous owner Jack knew quite a bit but he was also tight lipped.

I don't buy that. These guys read their contracts, the reasons for getting denied the refund aren't even in the contract, and the salesperson repeatedly, verbally guaranteed the money would be refunded if the warranty wasn't used. To suggest they were naive isn't fair. This is obviously a total scam, fraud.

It's not just the money, it's the stress and headaches I can see Rizzo, iionly and Kverde have gone through that really ticks me off. iionly or Kverde, if you want a wingman, pm me, I'd enjoy helping out, like I said before I've been through the process, I had a dealership and Ford Credit screw me and then blame each other so I served them both and let the judge figure it out, and figure it out he did

We lost but I think we'll be ok, we've got a bunch of talent somewhat slumping right now, AM, Nylander, Kappi, Kadri, only Marner especially and JT have been good. Hopefully all these guys have found their stride and fire on all cylinders when it counts in the playoffs If Rask got hurt they'd be screwed. During the N Anthem I was laughing when they showed him, no helmet he looked like a transformer, tiny, microscopic head on on a huge, padded, pumped up body I don't know why bruce cassidy didn't tell them to hit everything that moves, they were pretty mellow

emails and internet posts won't really ruffle any feathers, and not getting your money should not be an option, if you want to go the small claims route, I'll serve the papers and we'll go to court together, I just abhor Bull scams like this

pm me if you're interested in using small claims court

What bait caster reel do you have Justin C?

Air Ivanhoe is housekeeping outposts, smaller lakes, more known for fast action walleye. American plan would be at the lodge on Ivanhoe Lake, it's pretty busy, not known for big pike. If a cheaper housekeeping outpost is an option for you guys, there's lots with better big pike credentials. Garnum, White River Air comes to mind. Outposts N of Armstrong and Nakina, even better, and more options. I'm not familiar with drive to's in NW Ontario, LOTW etc, I bet they would be decent though, Limey and others know more about that stuff. Borger's a busy guy but it would be worthwhile for you to talk to him. https://www.canadafishingguide.net/contact-2/ this guy can be a little grumpy, sometimes a down right butt hole, but contact adempsey on this forum, he's very knowledgeable

The empty netter was interesting. It looks like Hyman didn't want to take credit for it until it looked like it might not go in so he took a swipe at it. A little dangerous, but a classy move by Hyman. We could use more guys like Hyman, especially in the post season. https://www.nhl.com/video/marners-empty-net-goal/t-300038928/c-64807503

I've fished Hartley Bay, Bad River, French Delta and the Key, Bustards etc. There is big pike there, but a lot tougher to find compared to N Ontario. It's rocky, Canadian Shield water, it's generally not as productive as a remote mesotrophic lake with lots of weedy bays, soft bottom flats etc. I bet it would be tough to get a 40 in a week. At a place like N Caribou, you could get a couple 40's a day in the spring. JMO A guess a drive to in NW Ontario fits your criteria and budget. Lac Suel, LOTW etc. I'm not familiar these though. I don't think the Air Ivanhoe stuff is what you're looking for either.

A place that may be off your radar is North Caribou Camps. They can do American Plan if requested. The problem might be getting an available week, they book up pretty good, and for good reason. I'd go early/ mid June if possible. I don't think the east side of Georgian Bay is what you are looking for.

Yeah, what the hell? are you the new Ottawa Senators public relations executive? do you find any time to sleep? ?

If things aren't going his way, the least he could do is work hard, and yeah, he's not working hard When the time comes, I think we will have to basically give Nylander away, big contract and poor production, nobody will want him
