DRIFTER_016

The only time it really sucks up here is when the bulldogs are out in full force. Y'all call them houseflies down South but ours are larger, more numerous and more aggressive. Deep Woods Off doesn't work as they just lick it off before they take a huge chunk out of you.

It's just Matt and his illegal second account!!!! ?

Love the standings today. Sorry it's soooooo small but I had to zoom way out to get the lowly Sens in the pic!!!! ?????

I grew up in Mississauga and it was a great place in the 70's and 80's. Now, not so much. The last time I visited I couldn't believe what a zoo it was. It blew me away that derry road was now as wide as 1/2 of the 401!!! I remember when it was 1 lane each way through farm country. ?

As I get older I seem to dislike noise and the hustle & bustle less and less. Grew up in Mississauga and spent most of my life there. Then moved to Grand Valley to get away from the busy city although I still worked in the city and commuted. Next I moved to Yellowknife in the NWT Canada's most northerly city population 18,000. The next move will be to my off grid cabin when I retire. It's 20kms or so down the road outside of town and then 14kms up the lake. I will make a weekly trips into town to resupply and am probably going to spend the winters down South in the sun.

Not to mention that leased home you're living in.

Well I live up North and it's still not quiet enough for me. ? That's why I will be retiring to me cabin on the lake EH!!!

I was actually on the skidoo site yesterday. ? Was looking at Expeditions though. This video my local dealer posted during our recent cold snap was pretty impressive. The sled is parked in an enclosed trailer so not heated.

Freddy did the same thing on Saturday only it was 51 seconds in.

I carry one of these just in case. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-eliminator-750a-lithium-ion-booster-pack-and-power-bank-0111906p.html#srp

UGH!!! Hot goalie. ?

Got out to the cabin for the first time since October today. Spent my time packing trail. Man was that a chore. More snow than usual in the bush this year. My heavy a$$ touring sled is not really meant for breaking trail in tight quarters especially when the snow is nuts deep!!!!!! Took some time to get up my hill. About 1/2 way up I put the sled on it's side. No problem roll the 700# beast upright and keep going. The last 30' or so is the steep section and there is a bend right at the bottom. Got stuck a few times and made it almost all the way up and got stuck again. Short break in the cabin to get my breath back before packing the top of the trail by foot. That was the ticket. Made 'er up. Took about an hour to pack down the area around my cabin and then a trip down the hill to smooth it out. Finally another hour of packing the trail from the shore to the ice road then call it a day. Hopefully back at it next weekend.

NAH, not me. Just some Inuit guy up on the sea ice. I'm too old fer that shizzz!!! ? Finally got out to the cabin for the first time since October today though. Man the snow in the bush on my trail is deep this year. Had a heck of a time breaking trail with my 10 foot long 700# touring sled. ?

Been pretty frosty up here with wind chills in the -50's for the last week. Made it back alive!!! Pic from the trip. ?

I wonder how much higher Mitch's contract will push these numbers. It's good to be flush with cash. ? https://www.tsn.ca/the-interesting-wrinkles-of-matthews-new-deal-1.1253750?fbclid=IwAR3gdwCXFK6-IQpjBKJpYFkC_xuu9HiDVaB2kZ2rC8Wu1Q28fTQb9999UC4

But they had to let some very good players go because of the cap. Panarin for instance. I think Gardiner will be lost to free agency, but am not sure who else will go during the summer.

That's how they do it in Pittsburgh and they just won 2 cups in the last 3 seasons.

Who?

Yup, I know. I have no plans to change anything.

Reminds me of the Leafs fans not too long ago. We all know how the Oilers fans feel.

EEK!!! If Marner gets over 10 mil AAV someone is going to have to go. https://www.tsn.ca/report-agent-says-so-far-leafs-have-been-trying-to-lowball-marner-1.1253030?fbclid=IwAR1a3ulDc_tURTO_4Sn9MV8qOR3J5NoNAKTld58TY-MP3gF8B1rhUdTKZL0

8 year deal would have been 12.5-13. Marner will likely be 9.5-10 AAV on a 5-6 year.
