I drove 6 hours out of the way for a good burger once......... I miss Mikos.

I drove for a day to get to white castle, they made a movie about it ???

That's disappointing for a Canadian team. Move them to QC like someone else mentioned.

1/2 hour is too far, what a joke. That sounds soooo small town.

I drive half hour for groceries lol.

 

I also drive 5 hours to watch the leafs in Winnipeg.

 

Whatta big difference in fan mentality eh?

Lol I learned a trick from a Newfie I work with, been doing it for years now.

 

Bring an extra t shirt. Dunk in water, use the arms to tie and just where it on your head.

OK Matt what are the excuses? Too expensive? Too far? Government town? It was a weekday? It was a nice day? The Raptors were on T.V.? Patio's were open? Panfish were biting?

 

The truth is Ottawa fan base is pretty much non existent most of the time and they have a boring on ice product to watch for the average fan. Maybe the city should pump the breaks on that new rink downtown. If the Sens still have a team in 2021 they could probably just go back to playing out of the Civic centre at Landsdowne. I think it holds a couple thousand people.

Matt's gone on a fishing trip lol. Hell troll hard when he returns Wednesday ??? hopefully he has a good trip. I'd rather be fishing too

It's interesting, when I used to work in NW Ontario I looooved using Dace as bait. Dunno that I ever had a emerald up there though to compare.

I still use(well used to use Dace) but I quit quickly after seeing most prominent anglers in the area using shiners.

 

They indeed work, and live longer, but fish seem to favour shiners in my experience.

 

Can't even buy Dace in emo anymore, nobody wants them.

 

It's all shiners, worms and bloodsuckers.

 

I'd have to drive to the next town to get Dace.

Northern Redbelly Dace are the best for walleye in the Ottawa River. They can live for hours on a jig. Just show a Shiner a hook and there dead. We trap our own in a marsh early in the season.

Funny how that works. Nothing will beat a shiner, frozen dead or alive in NW ontario

^^^lol

 

Few years back we had our kiddos farm a bunch. Was kinda fun actually and I had free live bait all year

I said it myself, and pretty well all of Leafs nation is saying it, just getting to the playoffs made this season a success.

 

I'm not really feeling that now, I'm bummed, I didn't want it to end. That series was so close a couple of bounces and it wouldn't have ended.

 

What's on TV now, Blues/ Preds, I couldn't care less.

Lol, me too.

 

But.... Pitts caps, I'll watch that for sure

Could have gotten away with saying emerald shiner = 1. Golden shiner or common shiner is 2. also great for pike and larger fish.

Aren't common shiners like 6-8" long?

Terry I hope you are referring to "Redside Dace" as either Finescale, Northern Redbelly, or Northern Pearl Dace considering where Shining Tree is haha. And Manitou I'm guessing your "Silver Shiners" are something else?

Only asking as using Redside Dace and Silver Shiner could net you MAJOR fines considering they're listed as Endangered and Threatened (respectively) lol

I was actually looking into it after Brian called me on it. He's right. Seems I've been brought up on a lie lol.

 

Turns out not all emeralds are the same colour(per say, shut up Brian lol).

 

But yeah, I've been fishing emeralds and some just have different hues.

 

The frozen ones I buy do say "silver shiner" but yeah, turns out their protected and not even in my area.

 

Im a dumbass

 

In retrospect, remember im the guy that caught a walleye that spit up a stickleback and I had no clue what it was ???

 

Silver is silver, or do the ones up there look different then silver?

 

I,ll have to go get some to take a pic of ours here.

 

Here, silver is silver. LOL

Lol. No up here emeralds have an orange hue to the belly, and silver is silver lol

 

They are one of the same no?

 

Emerald shiners ?

 

Creeks here are full of them now.

Nope.

 

Silver shiners are different colour

 

its surprising but i notice a huge difference between using emeralds vs chubs

Yep, night and day difference

 

Give me emeralds anyday over any minnow.

 

Then it's shiners

Lol, I was just telling musky Matt about this.

 

Can't even drive here. Freezing rain and super high winds.

 

I told him it'll be +40 by next week lol

 

I love sunset country

If Hollywood wrote hockey, Ovie would win the cup this year, leave the Caps. Go to Russia and win a gold in the 2018 Olympics.

Hahahahahaha yep

I agree, they'll never win with ovie, but I'd love to see it.

 

Fact is they just aren't built for playoff hockey. People will see when Pitts, at team built for the playoffs, destroy them.

 

I hope the oilers can channel something special and mcdavid cements his legacy early

I'm rooting for the caps now, simple answer is I'd much rather see Ovi get a cup than Anaheim or Pittsburgh again.

 

That and even if Kessel lights it up like he did last year they still won't give him the Conn Smythe

I'd rather the oilers win, but yeah, im rooting for the caps in the east. I hate Pitts and I hate NY.

 

Ovie needs a cup or he's never gonna get the credit he deserves. That and his play is already falling dramatically stat wise. It's soon or never

Ughhh, it's the same as always. Even though our d is 100 fold better than years prior, we need 2 more solid d men, bad.

 

I hope they take this off season serious with training, especially marner Mathews and nylander. If they come back stronger it's going to be scary what potential these kids can reach.

 

The future sure looks bright IMO.

 

Took the caps to ot in 5 of 6, that's all we really could have asked for aside from experience.

 

Pittsburgh woulda crushed the leafs, so im glad we went out on somewhat of a positive

Alls good, we'll take it to pms to arrange. All in all a great playoffs so far. For some

Yep, I'll shoot ya an email tomorrow Matt

 

 

Now, rooting for the oilers lol

 

And looking forward to pens caps, should be a gnarly series

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it appears that with the laffs loss..........

Yep, bummer.

 

Easiest 100 I ever lost lol.

 

Congrats matt

Doh, kicked off sn1 server issues lol

 

Just the right size for a cheese bagel..with extra cheese, tomato slice, a bit of lettuce and tartar sauce !

 

Just the right size for fry bread and bacon

Yeah Chris, they showed a much better video after the commercial break, thus my backtrack on the call.

 

Kadris hit clearly had them shook. A few big hits and it could be great, or, the caps might just target our rookie crew and that could indeed kill us.

 

Guess we'll see tonight

I would snap a pic of parking pass.

 

I have a pic of my fishing licence in my phone.

Yep same here. Never know.

 

Also keep the regs on it too just in case

Hey MM, at least our bet is interesting and neither went 4 and out lol
