if sutter's going to go out and get old flames why not lombardi
He got Jokinen for less money than Lombardi signed for today and Jokinen has already proven he's more durable. Sutter maintains Jokinen and Tanguay are a "package deal", suggesting he would not have signed one if he hadn't signed the other. I'll reserve judgement until the season is well underway...
-
Is this the same guy they couldn't kick out fast enough last season...
Is Sutter nuts? This is too funny!
Got him for significantly less money this time around....
-
you live in ogden
Seriously? Why have we never run into each other on the river there, or do you not fish that stretch of the river?
Oh...and back on topic...seriously funny stuff. I can't imagine what people were thinking as they watched...

Went out last night with BenBear. He had one to the net with a couple more on and gone. I got skunked...
Beautiful night for fishing and always good to meet new people and put faces to names. Thanks Jim!

if you can, there is a place called oxypro or something along those lines in the glenmore industrial park. Just off barlow and 62nd i think (right near the staples, timmies, taco bell) anyways a block or 2 up 62 it's on the left hand side, before starpoint. They sell and rent everything welding.
Might I inquire as to what you need it for, maybe I can lend some novice expertise.
61st Ave actually... Corner of 36th St and 61st Ave SE.

Should help you out although it looks like the biggest waders they have for ladies has a 33" inseam...

How is the bow river for clarity with all this crazy weather this last week. I have been terribly busy getting ready for a move and have not been able to get out for a drive and check if any of the creeks / rivers are blown out yet and muddied up the bow..
How's it looking, my brother is coming in Saturday for a weekend float.
Looks pretty clear today...Glenmore Trail bridge area was anyway...

I have a pair of cheapo Bass Pro White River wading pants that I wear a lot. No signs of wear after a year. I find them so much easier to get on and off than full waders and much more comfortable to wear. I was concerned at first about getting into water that was too deep but I have yet to realize that concern. In my humble opinion, likely the best $70 I've spent on fishing related gear in a long time...

It's funny...I grew up fishing for pike and walleye (jack and pickerel if you're from Saskatchewan) and everything was by weight. When you caught a big fish you pulled out the scale, not the measuring tape. As soon as someone refers to a trout by weight, I get suspicious and honestly have no idea what they are talking about. I've never weighed a single trout I've ever caught.
-
That'd be the one I thought it was....didn't you find that guy in a Beaver Pond though Dean?
Sort of a beaver pond. I remember when, why and where this happened. Was supposed to be there that day but for some reason I had to back out...
-
I've got a hanging unit you can have for free. Was going to use it in my garage but decided to go with a new one. My wife works for a heating/ac company and we got a smoking deal. It's an older Anthem(?) unit. Looks to be in decent shape. Might do you for a couple of years but might not too...

PFFFTT!
You think that's intimidating???
Try fishing with Tungsten sometime; he makes Freschi look like a rookie!

)I concur...

It looks like a huge bridge in the background in that 2nd picture. Ain't no bridge like that on Turtle Lake. Some nice fish there though...or at least there was 35 years ago when I went ice fishing there.

with 3 forwards coming to Calgary, Sutter is going to have to do something once Conroy, Dawes and Moss get healthy.
Hence the "more trades" comment. Backlund certainly didn't look comfortable last night so he could go back down to Abbotsford. The rest? Who knows. Lundmark would likely (or perhaps already has) go back down. That makes room for 2. White fills Phaneuf's spot and Sjostrom's spot is filled by the third forward. Would seem to be the logical sequence of events although Lundmark's play makes it a little tough to keep sending him back to the minors all the time...
-
Boston's loving this deal, can't say I am... I expected a little more for Phaneuf. We get better in the short term, but long term this may really come back to bite us in the ass.
Was Phaneuf getting better? Can't see how this might bite in the long term except they may have snagged a bigger fish instead of 2 or 3 lesser fish to begin with.
They've freed up some cap space...maybe more trades yet to come? Kovalchuck would be a good one to land and try to sign to a long term deal before the end of the season...
-
Wow, TSN is reporting we just traded Phaneuf to Toronto... curious to see what the return will be...
Hagman, Stajan, White and Jamal Mayers are coming to Calgary. Have to think the Flames got the better end of that deal. Not sure who Burke thinks is going to score for the Leafs now. Stajan was #2, Hagman was #4 and White is their 2nd highest scoring defenceman. Gotta wonder when a guy trades away scoring talent when their top scorer is a defenceman...

What? I suppose you want me to wear a hat that says "I'm that ***hat Taco"
If the shoe fits...

Rick, do you have the bag still kicking around and remember the specific brand?
If you call Carlos and ask him for the same coffee he gave Dale for the pancake breakfast, he will know exactly what you mean. I hope he has more coming as this was the last he had as of Friday. He has numerous other coffees that are outstanding. Rainforest and Toledo are our two favorites...
-
I'll add my thanks as well. Good to put names to faces and vice versa...
and damn, that was good coffee.Supplied by a good friend of mine who imports directly from growers in Columbia.

What we had isn't actually listed on the website as it was a special purchase he made from an award-winning grower. I forget the name of what we had but Rick still might have the bag with the label on it. Carlos is a wonderful guy and while his coffee is a little more expensive than the stuff you get at Safeway or Superstore, it's far better IMHO...

If you think getting it off the little one is tough, wait until you see what else it managed to get on during the process of application. I'm sure the wealth is spread around generously...
When my twin boys were about 3 (and we had carpet in the bathroom) they emptied an entire bottle of shampoo on the carpet and were finger painting with it when we found them. Ever tried to get shampoo out of a rug? Ended up pulling the carpet up. Fun times...

Was waiting for that tough Edmonton girl to pop out next...

Guys,
Surprised as all get out that you guys didn't know that Big Blue is built in Calgree - Foremost Industries did the deed. Picture taken @ Valleyview by me.
Foremost - a home grown success story.
Knew that...didn't think it was relative to the thread. Lived next door to a niece of Mr Nodwell for a couple of years...

Avalanche. We're going to have to get out fishing one day......and bring the rod.
Sure...any time...just not this week... :$*%&:
Thanks again to everyone involved. Picked up my rod from Rick yesterday. What a lovely piece of equipment! The Christmas wish list now includes a reel and some line. Can't wait to give it a try!

Bet there is no carpet in this one or 6 speaker stereo.
Probably not, but what a spot to pitch a tent...

While the evening was frustrating with the wind in our faces all night, the end made it all worthwhile. That was a huge fish...not just for length but girth too. Too bad it got away. Definitely got the adrenaline pumping and I was only watching. Seeing those big Golden Stones on every rock was pretty cool too.
Great to meet you Darrin. Any time you want to head back down there, give me a call. I'd be happy to tag along...
