bill, its dooood. we've already been through this with brian lol.

team canada won, huge bonus!

and my son played tonight and that new stick I got him but talked crap on, netted him 4 goals and 3 assists tonight hahaha

old native pipes when the water went really really low about 4 years back.

megessi (eagle) feathers which are very valuable here(in a spiritual sense)

I found a old johnson motor about 5 years ago

hundreds of lures and old rapalas.

nothing too awesome

oh we stopped on some random island on an inland lake for a shorelunch. and somebody had put an electrical outlet on a tree, and my daughter tried to plug her phone in. hahahaha that was awesome

someone will grab heatley, it just better not be toronto!

my guess is he goes to boston for half a year

I was talking to a guy last night at work about gear...

 

I was telling him if I had a choice between fishing without my sonar/GPS or without my rod and reel.... I'd chose to handline... Lol

 

I'm pretty confident I could catch fish handlining...

 

I was even thinking about having a group of buddies have a "go back in time" derby...

 

No electronics....

1 rod per person...

Limit of like 5-10 lures or something...

 

I think it would be an eye opener for us all

I did that a few years back with about ten buddies ice fishing.

no lures. only jigs/minnows on sticks

3 hour derby we landed about 6 sturgeon lol

about ten minutes left I won with an 8"walleye hahaha

it was fun though?

So who picks up Heatley off waivers???

Great hockey for sure,thinking things will change a bit when we play Russia,Sweden,or USA.

Those will indeed be great games.

Im assuming everyone seen eikels rediculous wrap around goal?

my son has hockey tonight so PVR it is

or Korbinion Holzer, he has been solid when up

I like that call. How old is he now 25-26?

uggh you guys suck as gm, about as productive as you portray Dion to be.

Hes not Datsick, hes not perfect.

and what you just posted, lots of that would apply to Reimer as well.

ok so since it seems most want rid of Phaneuf, lets get a list of who would be available

The fact is that he is consistently bad

Thats just wrong. Im not sure what your watching???

Ive watched almost every leafs game this year and last night and last weeks philly game were dions only bad game IMO

yeah its easy to say lets trade straight up for #5 on calgary lol.

bill is right, even if a trade were to come up its slim picking right now and remember phanuefs contract lol

i woud like to see the c on komarov but that c is not coming off until phanuef has a flight booked to another city

phanuef is a tricky one

personally I do not like him on the leafs.

but outside of last night hes playing WAY better then years prior.

also, who is avaliable for dmen?

I dunno what it is against lower tier teams. I'm really looking forward to when Komarov gets back, they need his energy out on the ice.

absolutely!!!

and I have zero idea why we cant show up against the lower tier teams???

baffling

wow 6-4 loss ouch!

hello MM

whoa I turn my head for a few minutes and shes all tied up???

there we go! Reimer hasnt been traded:)

Id be pretty surprised if we traded Reimer but I wouldnt be opposed to it.

You would think it would be all over the hockey world right now though.

Who needs a streaky backup? Because thats what Riemer is IMO. I like watching him play but I dont think he is a starting goaltender anywhere in the NHL

There were more fish back then because there were less people fishing.

 

I'd take the trade anyday.

I dont know that thats actually true. With hundreds of thousands of bodies of water in Ontario I would say its probably the same.

One lake takes a hit and anglers move on. In many cases that lake then rebounds.

I think its alot more cyclical then less fish now vrs then.

For example, one small backwater lake I grew up fishing was INSANELY PRODUCTIVE. Word got out and within 5 years or so the lake appeared dead and nobody seemed to go back. Years later I went to check it out just a few years ago and it was just as good, perhaps better then I had remembered it.

Also people tended to keep way more fish back before regs and such as anglers do now. But maybe thats moot if one assumes there are many more anglers today then say 60 years ago(thats pure speculation).

Also, many years ago people tended to fish close to home, which makes sense if your fishing to harvest. Also many lakes were not accesible through lack of roads and poor vehicles or lacktherof.

Today, as fishing has become more of a "sport" or enjoyment as opposed to harvest, many anglers now opt for a better experience in nature so they have an options of flying to remote locations etc to highten the experience

One example is Mike Borger. I doubt he spends a great deal of money to go on the trips to fill his freezer. Im sure he enjoys some fish while hes in said location but I doubt it effects populations at all lol.

Its a complicated puzzle IMO

I wouldn't worry about JVR being traded anytime soon

Obviously not, hes the best player on the team.

But if he gets injured now my son may or may not be grounded for a few days???

In other news he also got a nugent hopkins CCM stick and it has the most rediculous curve haha

out playing shinny and I took a few shots and now I can understand why he cant hit the net?

It hard to shoot the puck less then 8 feet in the air, even for my 11 year old son haha

UHOH!

My boy just got a JVR jersey from his grandma!

???

Anyone see Nyquist embarrass Ottawa lastnight? LOL!!!! I think TSN timed the puck possession, 30 seconds all by himself!

 

Good job Senoritas!

 

In other good news, Komarov made the trip with the team to Florida! w00t!!!

that goal was hilarious. he just casually skated around the ice 3 or 4 times before deciding to end the game.

and the komarov news is awesome!!!

Its all pretty silly really.

On one side fishing is fishing. Knowledge/skill/experience trumps all IMO.

Then on the other side technology has increased catch rates without a doubt. The right rod and line and you feel every little tick, can tell exactly whats on bottom etc.

I find my comfort zone to be right in the middle.

Everyone will have varying answers on this because fishing is highly individual and to most people the nature and scenery are almost 50/50 with catching fish.

So people will use what makes it a great experience or whatever they can afford.

Is todays technology needed for fishing? Absolutely not.

Is it preferred? Id say by most

domi is a highlight reel

mcdavid gets the goal!!!!
