Check out all of the Sens fan in this pic from tonight's game in Ottawa. Must be Matt at the game.

KADRI with the hat trick!!!!!

HAHAHA!!! Mclaren was showing off his title belt on the way to the box!!!

DANG!!! Just saw video of Sid the kid taking a slapshot right in the chops today!!!! Looks like it may leave a mark. Wonder if he looks like Bobby Clark now. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=662917&print=true

Ain't that the truth!!!

Should be a great one!!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!!! PRAISE LUPES!!!! PRAISE KADRI!!!!!

AHHH, the joys of living in the big smoke!!! Even when I lived near Orangeville there was fee parking @ the hospital. Here in Yellowknife the parking@ the hospital is free. So if you want free parking, a long ice fishing season, clean air and an average of 190 days of snow on the ground move to Yellowknife!!!!!!

Be another 10 or 12 weeks before I see open water.

What a sweet goal by Lupul!!!!

Yep, all Asian people are four foot nuthin' and wear coke bottle glasses. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/yao_ming/

Nope, doesn't effect me at all. :tease: Won't effect you either. The only time other forces South of the 49th contact our forces up here is when they are looking for someone that did something bad in their juristiction. They don't give a crap about tickets.

DANG!!! Reimer got deeked right out of his equipment on that second goal in the shootout. Happy with 3 out of 4 points against the Bruins though.

Be sweet if we could repeat Monday.

Almost exactly 2 years ago.

HOLY MACKINAW!!!!!

The nearest Princess Auto is 1500 kms away.

That'll work fine.

Is that a herd of polar bears in the background?

Can't tell you where to get flies locally but I can tell you they work great trolled. I use a 7wt full sinking line with big flashy streamers.

Yes Northern Quebec Tourism is their major sponsor. There are some great episodes from there for sure.

I'll take some of that if you want to send it my way.

Got out for a little fish yesterday. The plan was to leave at 8AM and sled about 25kms to a laker lake just outside of town. The morning temps were, well brisk is a good word. -35 with -44 windchills!!!!! To make things worse I had a loose connection to the defogger in my snowmobile helmet and blew a fuse so had no defogging and had to ride with my visor open the whole trip. It was not a whole lot of fun to say the least. I had to stop numerous times to de-ice my eye lashes as they kept freezing my eyes shut. We finally made it to our chosen destination and Bob found out the powerhead for his Jiffy auger made a break for freedom somewhere along the trail. While he went motor hunting the rest of us cleared snow and drilled holes with my auger. Just in time to get a line down Bob returns from his hunting trip...............SUCCESSFUL!!! The fishing was awesome, the catching not so much. We did have a bunch of fish on (some right to the hole) but only managed two on the ice. Bob got a good eater laker about 4 pounds and I got a delicious burbot about the same size. The fish were being really finicky all day. I had 3 fish at one point following from 60' to 10' and back to 60' for minutes at a time but I just couldn't coax them to eat. I ended up 1 for 3 with 3 dozen follows for the day. Had some sled issues on the way home as well when I broke a carbide runner on my left ski and punched a hole through the ski. Off to the Yamaha dealer tomorrow for a new ski and carbides. Wallets probably gonna be two or three hundred bucks lighter. All in all t'was a good day with a bunch of new friends and tonight the pièce de résistance was the Beer Battered Burbot and Beef!!!

I like to troll large flashy streamers on a full sinking 7wt line for lakers. My streamers are mostly purple crystal chenille bodies with lots of blue and silver tinsel & crystal flash for the wings. Hooks are 2/0-4/0 and the average length of the flies is 5"-6".
