  1. I find it amusing that for someone WDGaF that you continually post on the all hockey threads. we know were you stand on the flames/pro hockey so its getting kind of redundant
  2. when I saw the title of the thread i assumed it had to do with edmonton setting an all time low of -50 the other day
  3. perhaps if the poll was for the road apple toss or lawn bowling hall of fame,Taco and Don could get involved as well.
  4. +1 Brian. That game was one of the most exciting games i have ever seen. Again, all the rule changes to increase scoring are so the knowledgable fans in nashville,tampa and atlanta dont get bored
  5. not to canadian fans. The league ( see bettman ) wants more scoring to keep the Merkans interested in our game
  6. the only thing seperating the boys from number one overall is a PP. both recent 2-1 losses could have been salvaged if their PP was on and some of the other close ones we have won could have been a little less tense if they cashed in a little more often with the man advantage. I expect first chance sutter has (likely today) they are working on the PP
  7. The oilers seem to always strive to ensure they sew up that number 9 spot every year. They are a model of consistent mediocrity
  8. they supplied the same iron clad promise you believe is sufficient ( "I never missed a payment in my life" and buddies for references). Did as much homework as i thought necessary (called the references who proceeded to BS me). If it wasnt for a couple of crappy/dishonest renters i wouldnt have been forced to ask for all this "personal info". Used to just trust people at their word and got burned. Perhaps the landlords you have had bad experiences with have also been ripped off.
  9. no kidding. the guys has been the hottest scorer in the league over the last 12 games and he sits and watches dawes and glencross shoot? flames never seem to get as many shootout points as most other good teams. i would like to see dion start the shootout with a 120 MPH slapper from 25 feet out and then follow with iggy and olie.
  10. had 2 tenants tell me " I never missed a payment" when they wanted to sign a rental agreement. They even had references (obviuosly bogus) and then bounced checks. Since then i always do credit checks and have found that most guys who get in a snit about providing credit info likley have something to hide.
  11. I think the most telling line here is "my wife and I ,UNFORTUNATELY dont have second properties that would allow us to.................................". Sounds like an extreme case of sour grapes to me. Im guessing it isnt so much that SL is against landlords getting the going rate, hes just pissed he missed the boat/doesnst have a rental property himself. Everything else he has come up with is simply cover for the green monster hes fighting
  12. watched a fair bit of the tourney ( not just the last table coverage) and IMO,moon was a very poor player. The guy just kept getting the cards so almost every bad move he made turned out a winner. Granted you have to be good to be lucky in a tourney of that size, but Moon was 95% lucky and 5% good . The guys at the table seemed to be able to read him most times but kept getting screwed on turn and river cards after Moon made some pretty bad preflop plays. The kid who won it it is now doing the talk show circuit. 8.8 million bucks at 22 years of age. must be nice
  13. as a landlord, i thought i would reply. You mentioned the LL you first met that had a place that 'reeked' of male cat. Im guessing he likley didnt have that problem before he rented to the prior tenants yet you are surpised he was reluctant to rent to another cat owner without compensation. When it comes to household mess and damage, cats are the most destructive /dirty animals on the planet (cant imagine allowing my dogs to crap and piss in a box in my kitchen but cat owners seem fine with this). I cant blame any landlord for saying no to a catowner or wanting more money to put up withthe inevitable smell and damage
  14. trucker was from edmonton?
  15. the oilers had home ice advantage, played up to their potential and lost. the flames were on the road,played a sub par game and won. dont see this battle getting to intense once the flames find their game.
  16. 2 decades (20 years lol. you must think us a dimwitted lot bhurt.
  17. amazing the difference in sink rate when you use tungsten.
  18. i was on the smokey 2 years ago in late august early september and had a ton of fun with mid sized foam hoppers.
  19. I have a mark on my rod that I measured at approx 19 inches. any fish that looks measureable, i just lay against my rod while still in the water. gives me a fairly accurate measurement without stressing fish or too much screwing around. I dont need exact lenght (18.656666788 inches), just like to know if a fish is pushing the 20 inch mark(that has become my barometer for "big fish" on the streams i like to frequent).
  20. using metric Brian? Im guessing bhurt(mm) is too
  21. another big fish http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/20...cord.trout.wwtv
  22. snapping a tilley hat in half? that would be a neat trick. do you have to wet it down and freeze it first?
  23. i will take a dozen in brown/white or black/white Karl. nice looking streamer
  24. try a website called VRBO(vacation rentals by owner). We have used them for a couple of boys golfing weekends and stayed in beautiful houses ( sleep 8 no problem) at both grey wolf in panorama and riverside in fairmont. these homes were 2500-3000 sq.foot places with ample bedrooms/pull outs for all.
  25. if it wasnt discontinued then you likely paid more than that (my understanding is that sage doesnt allow retailers to put their current top of line rods on sale). my point is all makers rip you off but you can get around that by purchasing discontinued lines.wait a year or so and the $850 Zs will be selling for $350-400 as well. ps. prefer the caddy but would buy one that was a year old and save myself 30 percent
