very very nice. love your creativity with the camera.

On a small sidenote... I spent all of 2008 driving alberta based oil rigs on my flatbed truck to texas, oklahoma, arizona, kansas, new mexico, wyoming, and whatever other US states started offering a better deal than alberta. The highways were a LINE OF TRUCKS loaded with oil rigs / equipment headed stateside. Anyone who thinks that alberta didn't shoot itself in the foot, needed to have spent a few weeks at the US border at coutts and counted all the rigs leaving. all that lost revenue / royalties? and you wonder why were running a defecit and HUGE budget cutbacks? What would you rather have? Deteriorating roads and streets, inadequate health care, social programs being cut... or the oil companies? Oh wait.... I guess that questioned got answered already.

I owned with the chainsaw. I don't think it's HUNTING per se, that is the largest threat to grizzlies today. Stop quads from ripping up the backcountry, put an end to random camping, keep people from overtaking the entire wilderness every summer, and then maybe you have a shot at protecting grizzlies. Until then, your going to have bear vs human issues where the bear eventually gets shot, due to a reaction to human's that is probably justified (get the hell out of MY territory)

That's a frikkin awesome looking brown GGP... love that gnarly azz jaw he's got

gorgeous work man!

Pretty solid game against detroit in a must win situation. They looked determined and hungry, and didn't let two quick second period goals ruin the party. Well played game. I honestly thought they got away with a lot tonight as far as calls go, moreso than detroit, even though the penalties were 5 - 2 with (as usual) the flames leading the parade to the box.

Jeff. I have a couple 8WT's sitting around collecting dust right now, both have old BFR Dragon fly reels, your more than welcome to one of those, if you need a bigger stick that whats been offered to you so far, for bullies and pike, etc.... lets meet up and go test the bugger out at lower K in may

hehe it was just a bet. he has to wear a flames hat tommorow

well it's a good thing they beat new jersey the other night or I would have had to wear an oilers jersey to college monday morning (made a bet with a buddy if they lost this one I would jump ship... lol)

He's in dog heaven chasing birds, rabbits, and cats along your favorite stream now. Sorry to hear about the loss. Having lost a good dog once, I know how hard it is. We still haven't replaced him.

That was just painfull. What the heck is it with this team? How can they "outchance" their oppenents almost every game yet lose ALL the time. Don't we have anyone that can bury a puck??? It's almost as if every time they get close to scoring a goal some really good looking girl in the crowd flashes them, they just lose it, knees go wobbly, and they can't finish. Good grief!!! I can't watch anymore. *sigh*

Our athletes are awesome. Seeing them all represent Canada with the pride, devation, and love that they displayed during these games leave me filled with love, awe and respect for them. GO CANADA GO!! I BELIEVE!!!!

Dune!! holy crap I bet you had a lot of river to yourself! Did you guys hear Peter Maher's call? YEAH BABEEEEEE... YEAH BABEEEEEEEE... YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH BABBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! A huge yeah baby for all of canada!!! Right on!!!! I already was going grey before this but now I need a "just for men" treatment .... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Less than 2 hours to game time. Luongo has to be GREAT... and Canada has to dominate this game and play a full 60 minutes of physical, hard, forechecking, and dominating the boards, to win this game. The puck needs to be in the american end all game, and the stripes have to call a fair game. If all that happens, Canada will win this game. 4 to 3. GO CANADA!

babcock should take them all steelhead fishing today. Keep there minds clear

Ok well I think my heart stopped beating for a full minute and 15 or however long the slovaks were buzzing in our end in the dying seconds of the game. Does anyone own a defibrulator? I almost needed it.

I'm with you birchy.. *sniffle*

Ok so it's all set. Canada vs Slovak in the semi-final friday. Halak was VERY good against the swedes tonight. Team Canada will need another momumental effort like they did tonight, hitting hard and playing aggressive ALL game, to win.

That was pretty funny.. me and my dad were watching and prior to that goal by weber he had ripped at least 3 or 4 shots wide, when that one apparently missed me and dad were screaming at the TV ..."hit the damn net Weber!!!".. LOLOL

Hopefully Nash can get Getz and Perry to do something. Those two are sucking so far. Nash has been very good. Iggy , Crosby, Stall should be fun to watch. Sharks line has been pretty good, could be better. Thornton needs to relax, gripping the stick too tight he cant make a pass. I say 5-1 Canada tonight, but we'll be gripping the couch cushions till late in the third or so.

what are the lines for tonight? I hope there going to look at putting the Crosby, Nash, Iginla line back together.

I dont know what it is... but I do remember watching the passion back when junior players were the ones playing. I want to see that again. Anyone else watch march madness... or college football? Or even go to a junior hockey game? Soooooooooooooooo much more fun that watching the pro's IMHO. The pros are like a well oiled machine, they are trained to be devoid of all emotion for the most part "never too high never too low" etc. It makes for boring olympic games... especially on small ice. I was hoping for olympic hockey and not NHL hockey this year... I can't wait for sochi if that's the case. I'll be watching! The world juniors (even though we did lose, and yes, to USA) it was the most exciting hockey I've seen all year.

I have to admit, watching Virtue and Moir accept those medals was a breath of fresh air. Now that's what Canada is all about!!! I never thought I would sit down and watch ice dancing but I am so glad I did... probably the best 2 hours I've spent in months watching their skate, the few skaters after them, and the medal ceremony. Fan-frikkin-tastic!! You think the hockey players would sing the national anthem at the top of their lungs? (bring back the juniors!!) cheers

LOL... whoooo hooo... take that USA!!!!!!

Simply brilliant. Epic.
