  1. If you feel your team is good enough, sometimes the best move is no move. Time will tell. GO HABS GO.
  2. Trading Huet was strictly a salary dump to free up $$$$ to sign Hossa IF they had landed him. Tippet was not strong enough I guess. Would like to have the 2 goalies now considering no Hossa.
  3. Was hoping the HABS would land a big fish by the name of Hossa. However, unless you can sigh them to big a risk for the Rental. Works for some, but not willing to give lots of young guys and picks away with no security. The deadline is fun to watch, but, in reality 16 teams make the playoffs and if you do not win Lord Stanley....................... Some say the deadline has 1 winner and 15 losers ( teams) . Hossa must feel like some loser playin with crosby and malkin. ya right!!!!
  4. Never use that word.
  5. The assembly line, glue, great stuff!
  6. Is fixed . Thanks.
  7. Will give that a try. Thanks.
  8. How do I fix this? I recall it occuring to someone else and someone posted a fix. Thanks
  9. Well, I built a house 5 years ago.... wait a minute.... Beattie homes(junk) did. I just signed the cheque.
  10. SA GPX Great in all conditions. Low memory and I have fished mine for many winters without problems.
  11. Being a teacher, I miss snow days! Nice to have the odd day off mid week. As far as snow and shoveling, I scrape snow here, not shovel. Clearing the driveway in Cape Breton after snow storms was an hour job minimum. Mind you, there was no -49 with windchill. Remember 3 weeks ago fellas?
  12. No problems with mine. Love the PVR and HD!
  13. If you could find a discontinued XP go for it. For those waters mentioned, and the Bow, I fish a 8'6 4wt. XP and love it. Matched with a Galvan torque rell and a SA GPX. Probably about 1100 retail and I spent about 750 all in. I plan to fish this combo a lot this summer.
  14. Revolutionalized the game. 5 tool player plus 124 in a season 8 straight norris 2 scoring titles #4 Bobby Orr Also loved Clark and Neely. Am also a big fan of Shannahan.
  15. Calgary might make a deal with the Habs but, it sure will not include Kovalev. Once the habs punted Samsonov look at AK now!
  16. Had a good time at the expo as well. Made it out saturday around noon. Just landed in time to take in an informative presentation hosted by Kelly Gallop on streamer techniques. Learned a few things that I will try on the ol bow. Interesting how he pushes BIG ASSED FLIES. Colin McQ ( Canadian flyFisher) did a similar presentation a few years ago and preached the same thing. I wonder why almost all my streamers are size 2! Bought a Simms Windstopper half price and talked to Jim McLennan and bought the new book with his johnhenry. Nice living in Cranston for proximity to the Bow and Spruce Meadows for the show.
  17. 10 years fishing since I moved out west. 1 check on the Bow while floating, 2 on the crow, and 1 on the upper Oldman. Good to see them out.
  18. Check the schedule for presentaions online or with the program you get when you pay your entrance fee. It will list times and locations of the free presentations, fly tying demos, etc.
  19. Birchy, if you can, take in Jim's presentation on the Bow. Free ( I think). I saw/heard it twice and it is excellent with a great slide show. Own all the books and will add the new one saturday.
  20. I am down a grand! With weather this one out.
  21. Ross, as many have mentioned make a high quality reel. I have a Cimmaron2 and a spare spool for over 7 years. Thet were about 220 bucks back then but I see they are around 140 now. Well worth it. I do fish Galvan reels now and like them more. however, they were in the 350 range.
  22. Think of it this way. Your dog just increased in value big time! Or maybe not.....
  23. Those will fool them for sure. love them on the crow a week or two after runoff when there is still a bit of dirt and faster flows.
  24. Depends on your rod holder. Mine are Scotty's and my 7 wt VPS has a butt and fits in the holder fine.
