I don't mind LaPanta. Really like him on the podcasts with Russo. He's got some good stories.

Bet he's excited to call a hockey game again after such a long layoff.

I'd imagine a big draw of going to school in Alaska would be all of the outdoor opportunities more so than watching sports.

You get way more ice time in Bantams vs JV, so I'd play it out there this season. Unless you're a phenom that can make Varsity as a freshman, it's just not worth it. When I was in HS, there was a HS fall league. I don't remember what it was called, but all non fall sports guys played in it so it was...

How in the world did Fletcher value Ek over Boeser in the draft?

Russo has reported that. Khovanov will be in the KHL because he wouldn't make the NHL roster, and there's no guarantee of an AHL season. So by playing in Russia, he gets a full season, then can join our NHL roster after that season if we're still playing over here. Better for his development to play.

At least their fans will finally get to see the Cup paraded around on Canadian ice. Well I think Edmonton did have a few good years. I believe all NHL contracts are in US $$$ vs Loonies. I'm aware cups have been won north of the border a good thirteen, fourteen years ago. :crazy: Pretty sure Patric...

I don’t think it’s about how much of a bubble he wants. More so that will they actually be in a bubble? Will the workers be going home everyday?

My money is on Vegas and Toronto for hub cities. Unless something changes soon, my pure guess is that both cities would be in the same country in the case of quarantine restrictions when crossing the border. Makes more sense to do it once than have to do it again prior to the final. Or maybe they'd...

Painted trim is the fad right now along with the whites and grays look. I will admit, it does look sharp. But, it is just fad. There will never be a substitution for the natural beauty of wood. Amen. Not THAT kind of wood. Painted trim sounds intriguing, I have to admit I've never seen it. But not ...

Holy crap, painting sucks. It is the easiest and cheapest of home improvements. Enjoy If that sucks, don't replace you water softener yourself. Well part of what sucks is the trim. It feels like it takes so long but you cover so little actual wall space. I don't mind taking the roller to the wall. ...

I think I may have been the one semi-ripping Jr Gold, but that definitely wasn't my intent. I didn't, and still don't, have anything against Jr. Gold. Some of my best friends played it.

Every year when the hockey season wound down I felt the "Yeah, I am ready for a break from this" and and some point during the summer me and some friends would get some open ice somewhere and play a game here and there. Now is there even open ice in the summer to have? I see a couple post...

The most significant cause for burnout is pressure from coaches and parents rather than the number of hours spent on the ice. Skills camps don't have to be a grind as opposed to say an "elite league" where it's more about making a name for yourself rather than having fun and learning the ...

I don't expect hard hitting political insights from the local news TV anchors but last night Randy Shaver was interviewing a local political expert about the new budget deal and he just didn't seem credible to me in asking political questions.

It's my "Friday"! Have to make a stop at Fleet Farm on the way home after work, pack the boat, pack my clothes, play a double header for softball tonight, and then hitting the road in the morning! By tomorrow afternoon/evening we will be on the water in the Canadian wilderness. That sound...
