Headhunter

That was awesome Simon! Sure beats the "snowmageddon" we are getting here today. It was hard to tell what kinda fish that was, any idea? thanks, HH

You must eat a lot of Whitefish Emil! HH

Watching that game last night was like watch grass grow. I can't believe that hockey can be that boring! I'd rather watch my kids pee wee team play! (actually, I would rather watch them play then just about any other team/league!) As the Leafs are essentially out of the playoff hunt, it'll be very interesting to see how management starts to dismantle the team. Given their cap challenges, they are going to have to trade salary for draft picks. Let the re-building begin. HH

It's not the fall, it's the stop! HH

I anyone else wondering why Nonis still has a job? He directly responsible signing/re-signing Kessel, Dion, Gardiner and Clarkson. He got all this talent for a mere $167 million! There are in deep trouble as they have no cap space left and will rely on other teams taking on their salary in a trade or buying out a player at the end of the season. Gonna be along time before we see any fruit from these saplings. HH

He's scored one lousy goal in how many games now? He's a minus what!???!!! He's the whipping boy along with a few others because they are the faces of the franchise and the highest paid players. There are performance expectations in every job you can have, hockey is no different. Simply put, he has not performed like his salary dictates he should. But truth be told, I thought it was time to un-load him when he told a COACH who was doing his job, trying to help the team get better, "uhm no, we won't be doing that." So why oh why would anyone on the team listen to the coach, when Phil just shrugs them off? There are so many problems with this team, it's frightening. As a side note, part of my frustration is derived from 47 years of futility. My more recent frustration comes from attending a game in November. Four of us attended as a celebration for my birthday. Those four seats cost just over a grand! Add in dinner, parking and a couple of beers and we are well into the $1,300 range for a night to watch this garbage! So what are all the Leaf fans going to say when MLSE raises their ticket prices next year! LMAO HH

Sorry Bill, but I gotta disagree with you on Kessel. the trade that brought him here, made by Burke, has put the Leafs in a hole for the last four years and if he stays, that number will grow. I can't help but feel that he is a bad influence in the dressing room and possibly even worse during games. He can't/won't do what if takes to win, is a complete liability anywhere on the leaf's side of the red line and refuses to get involved in any play that requires a spine. He's their "best player" and I can't help but think he is a bad influence on the younger players. I wouldn't hesitate to trade him for a number one pick and a proven NHL'er. Either way, this team is not going anywhere as it stands. HH

The "horrible stretch" is currently at 47 years and counting. I think that the fans have every right to let the team and ownership know of their disgust. One of the highest ticket prices in the league, highest cost to attend a game and "enjoy" a beer or some food, highest cost for parking, I could go on. Yah, we are suckers here in T.O., always willing to pay pay pay for our "entertainment". It seems that now, folks are finally seeing the light. Lets hope that some smart people start making some decisions over at MLSE, cause history shows us that dumb has ruled that day for far too many years. HH

Well, I'm sad because Dion is sad and unhappy with the team's recent accomplishments! HH

I stand corrected Roy! Not sure why I thought they were a French company, but according to Snopes, they are headquartered in India. Can't say I have ever been in a store though! HH

Target is a French company. Sorry to hear this news, but I figure that given the locations they have established here, another retailer will jump in. Question is, can folks wait for the jobs to come back? HH

Uhmmm, Simcoe is anything but dead! HH

It's funny, because some folks love the look and other, not so much! LOL I'd suggest, if you can, take one out for a drive... I bet you'll change your mind! HH PS... I know you're a big guy. I'm 6'3 and about 235 and I have nothing but room not only in the drivers seat, but the second row as well. Can't say I've sat in the third row, but the kids love it back there! Tons of head space that I found lacking in other vehicles.

Went through a similar process last spring. It was time to let the Jimmy go! My wife was quite adamant, no mini van for us! That restricted our search substantially which led us to the Ford Flex. Bought it used (they are very hard to find!) and have had it since the spring. I get about 500km per tank, it rides like a Town Car and has virtually every bell and whistle you can ask for! Seats seven comfortably, every seat folds down, except the drivers seat and will hold a nine foot ladder easily. With full leather upholstery, you feel like your sitting on a fine leather couch as you head on down the road. Any questions, hit me up! HH

Seems as though there were some empty seats last night. Yeah, I know that the seats were sold, but if folks aren't coming to the games, MLSE won't be selling as many $15 beers! That's probably the only way to really get any attention from them! HH

Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it! I stopped fishin Couch a few years ago, as I found that most if not all the perch I was catching, were wormy. Did you happen to find this as well or were those perch pretty clean? Again, thanks for posting! HH

Thanks for the update Wayne... positive thoughts and prayers continuing in your direction! HH

Talent is one thing and they have some, but desire is totally another. Coach can only coach what he is given, it's up to the players to have the desire to win. Can't say I've seen much desire out of this group for a while. Let's look back to the beginning of the season. Is this team not in the position that most would have been happy with? Are they a playoff team? There's a poison flowing through the team and it's called "blue and white disease". The best Leaf fans can hope for is the new coach, who ever it is, is given the free hand to kick some butts and not allow "elite" players to dictate how the team plays. HH

Not gonna matter who's behind the bench Bill. Is anyone really surprised that this team is where it is in the standings? They aren't a good team and won't be until they get rid of the dead weight they carry around. Time to move some assets! HH

Nice job Bud! HH

Lew, there's a tv show called, "Don't Drive Here". You should watch that to see what insanity is really like! And I do agree to a point, that we do have a problem with people not knowing or caring about the rules, but we also have far too many vehicles for our infrastructure to sustain. Since we are airing gripes, people who don't use their turn signals! The fine engineers who design our cars, made it really easy, just a flick of a finger and presto, everyone knows what you intend to do. Happy Holidays Everyone! Be careful driving out there. HH

Stop wasting cauliflower!!!!!!! The best way to prepare it is to do it up just like you do your breaded fish! Cut it into small pieces and wash it. While it is still damp, add kosher salt, garlic powder and onion powder and crushed black pepper. Let is sit for at least an hour. Then dredge them in flour, egg wash and bread crumbs (we like Panko!) and pan fry until golden brown. Put the fried pieces in the oven for 1/2 an hour at 325 to finish cooking through. Make an awesome side dish with roast beef (PRIMER!!!) especially when you add some gravy to them!!!!! You can thank me later! HH

Pickled Herring is way better then smelts!!!! HH

Actually Steve, you are more correct than maybe you even know! I've heard of some tests being done on folks in their 20's and they have become so used to the sound of an MP3 vs a full format, non-compressed sound, that they actually prefer the sound of a MP3! It's what they are used to hearing! HH
