    That is a great deal you are getting. I doubt Shaw can match that. My Bell TV satellite is 125 a month alone no phone or internet. How can I get that deal? Man that's good. 

    What do you have for channels that it's costing you $125?

    I have basic plus 6 channel packs (don't know how it's set up now but when I hooked up they were channel packs) and pay $93/mo.

    Internet is though our local cable co and is expensive 150GB cap, 20Mbps down, 3Mbps up for $80 +GST

    Phone is through Vonage and is $20/mo 500 minutes LD included.

    Jeez I was out fishing crappies a few weeks back it was -12, the sun was shining and it was calm up north...We were out in a sweatshirt, no touques, barehanded fishing totally comfortably. 

    I'm quite comfortable @ -25 and no wind.

    If it's like that and sunny I will be sitting on my sled in a hoodie happily jigging away. ?

    When I lived in Grand Valley I had a plow on my truck which I used to take care of the normal snow falls.

    When the big storms with wind came we just called the neighbour to take care of the job.

    He had a giant John Deere 4wd tractor with an 8' double auger blower on it.

    Two quick trips up the 220' driveway and it was done.

    When he got closer to the house he just blew the snow over it into the back yard!!!  ?

    Was a chore to get the snowblower going this morning.

    The primer bulb was stiff and didn't like returning to shape.

    Had to really prime it good several times until it would stay running.

    Got the snow all cleared so I could pull out the sled trailer and see if I could figure out where the coolant leak was.

    Don't know if I got it figured or not.  ?

    Looks like I frost nipped the tip of my big toe when working outside too.

    On the couch with a rum now waiting on the Leafs game.  ?

    It has nothing to do with Bell, here in quebec  both providers (Bell and Videotron) doesn't have WFN anymore. I think it's has to do with the crtc or wfn .

    They are just rebranding by the looks of things.

    Either way it doesn't matter to me as I only watched it when it was free.

    Far too many crappy shows that repeated over and over.

    Lmao too funny seeing Chiarelli get fired... It was a few days late. That goalie signing is just mind boggling, 27 games of NHL experience and you give out 4.5 mill for 3 years??? What on earth is that about

    https://www.tsn.ca/nicholson-koskinen-extension-was-approved-by-organization-1.1246091?fbclid=IwAR25D7-qdgJ_1GU1q_KDKnm2I_ueRNt-u555NYcUepplOp6dT6cstqT8pUU

    Edmonton Oilers president of hockey operations and CEO Bob Nicholson said Wednesday that former general manager Peter Chiarelli didn’t sign goaltender Mikko Koskinen to a contract extension on his own.

    Koskinen was extended by the Oilers Monday on a three-year, $13.5 million deal – just one day before TSN’s Ryan Rishaug reported Chiarelli’s firing. Nicholson said Wednesday that the decision was approved by the organization, including the pro scouts.

    “Peter did not make that deal all by himself. This deal really started when we got together with our pro scouts in Palm Springs in our meetings. We looked at the depth of the goalies that would be available next year. We really believe in Mikko. We had to make a decision between Mikko and Cam [Talbot]. We made that decision to go with Mikko and sign him to a three-year deal,” Nicholson said.

    “Cam Talbot is still a big part of this team and he’s been a great teammate and we hope that Cam will continue to play well for the team,” he added.  

    According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Oilers spoke to fellow goaltender Cam Talbot a few days ago about the Koskinen deal because they didn’t want him to be blindsided.

    In 27 games so far this season, Talbot has a save percentage of .894 and a goals-against average of 3.27. Koskinen has been better, posting a save percentage of .910 and a GAA of 2.79 in 28 games played.

    Meanwhile, Nicholson said the organization will begin the search for their next general manager immediately but didn’t offer a timetable for when they will name a replacement. In the meantime, Keith Gretzky will serve as the club’s general manager.

    “There’s something in the water here in Edmonton that we don’t have right. And we got to get that figured out,” Nicholson said.

    Edmonton will return to action from the break on Saturday Feb. 2 against the Philadelphia Flyers.
