    It won't happen, but I'd like to see Hutch get some starts.

    The Leafs weren't that sharp either. Lots of passes were in the skates. I miss Gardiner's puck moving ability too.  

    In OT they coughed up the puck a couple times without getting a scoring chance. That's a no no, gotta keep possession 3 on 3.

    at least we got a valuable point

     

    Yup, passing was brutal  as well as the giveaways last night.

    Laid me out for 3 weeks Dave.

    Warm weather will be here soon enough. And the other bugs.LOL

    I was down for 3 weeks in November and the hurt my back 2 days before our 12 day long Christmas break.

    Then I hurt it again lifting the dog into the truck after a vet appointment and now this second bout of the sickness.

    Been down a total of 2 months since the beginning of November now. ?

    I’m totally going to sound like a homer on this one but that goal that was called back swung the momentum. It doesn’t account for 6 goals but you could see the game turned after that was called back. 

    Plus normally with playoff games one team doesn’t play a back to back with the other team full rested. 

    Yup.

  4. Loud and out of control I like.

    Rude and classless, not so much.  ;)

     

    When a player gives his all for 9 years and he comes back and the crowd boos, calls him an idiot and throws stuff at him is not OK.

  5. As one gets older they tend to chill behind the wheel.  ;)

    I was driving to work one day, South out of Grand Valley (yup I was one of those rural guys).

    There was 6+ inches of snow on the road and a line of about 1/2 dozen vehicles plodding along at 50 in an 80 zone.

    We were climbing a hill when I saw someone at the back of the line pull into the oncoming lane and giver!

    Well, it was a no passing zone with it being a hill and all but buddy didn't care he had places to go.

    He had to duck in behind the guy right behind me and was going too fast and proceeded to spin out into the ditch in an explosion of white. 

    I guess he didn't get where he was in a hurry to get to.  ??

    2 days in a row now out my way, hwy 115 closed both directions. People just dont get it. I dont' care what road conditions are like, I just watch out for the idiots. I have dedicated snows, and 4x4, but I still don't drive as fast as these idiots. Notice there always seems to be a big rig involved? Both times here, yesterday and today, the big rigs went off the road, driving too fast, and caused pile ups. These guys are the most dangerous drivers on the road now a days. I know some of them are good, but most of them are not. I don't trust them for a second. There used to be a time when they were the best on the roads, and your safest bet was to hop in behind one and just follow along, Not anymore.  I don't even like going by one on the hwy anymore. Half the time they can't even stay in their own lane on good roads. Welcome to Ontario. Worst drivers in the world. 

     

    S. 

    Had a long reply that crapped out on me so here's the Cliff notes edition. Trans Canada between Winnipeg and Kenora one October. 

    6" of snow on the highway, 4 wheel drivers careful and slow, truck drivers not. Over 100 vehicles in ditches, 2 or 3 four wheelers and the rest all trucks. The end!!!

  7. One winter day I was driving down the 427 collectors in the middle lane. The roads were snow covered and there was a 5 ton straight truck in front of me. For some unknown reason all of a sudden it was sliding sideways down the road.  ?

    I checked my mirror turned on my signal and pulled into the passing lane while slowing down to avoid the sideways truck. The guy on my right side in the speeding BMW panicked and spun out into the ditch. ? 

    The truck driver managed to pull out of the skid without hitting anyone.
