    Not the greatest game by Gustavsson tonight. 3 goals on 16 shots. 2 being relatively far out too.

    Rossi had room to tie it late and shorted it wide. At first I thought whoever was in the net (Foligno?) prevented that goal but replay showed Rossi simply missed.

    Boeser gets brought up here all the time, I’m just not a fan

    Im not the biggest fan of his either. I tend to agree with whoever said it earlier, he seems to get brought up going to the Wild because he is one of us. Not necessarily by people here, but media, etc. I imagine he would love to play here. I just dont see it being a tremendous upgrade personally. Id probably rather have Nelson than him because he plays D and can win faceoffs. Im surprised Joe isnt a bigger supporter of that.

    I brought it up a couple weeks ago when the Brock Nelson rumors swirled through.

    Given a choice, I’d take the Boeser version over the Nelson version. Younger, right handed shot, higher ceiling. Not that I don’t like Nelson, I just like Boeser more from a production standpoint.

    I’m not up to date on the business aspect of it though. Feasibility of contracts plays a role here too.

    I agree with the thought that the burbs have taken over class AA.

    The last non metro champ was Grand Rapids back in 2017, but that appears to be an isolated event because according to my math, a metro area team has won class AA 23 out of the last 25 years now.

    Several teams in recent memory have also voluntarily moved from A to AA. Benilde and St Thomas come to mind.

    I’m still bitter about Minnetonka losing to Chan last year in the sections. That team was the all star version of a varsity squad.

    Megabass jerk baits are about 25 bucks each. I’ve got a few. That’s the most I pay for a bass lure.

    Plucking bass off beds for the glory of weighing them in on camera is stupid. There’s no logical reason for it, other than holding fish up on a stage.

    There is a modern way of doing this called immediate catch and release. Other pro tours do it, and yet Bassmaster insists on their outdated methods. If they cared about the resource, they would release spawning fish right away.

    This is coming from someone who is and has been an ardent bass angler and supporter for years too. Get with the program already BASS.

    I’ve occasionally use the light rail from Mpls to the airport or vice versa for 16 years, except during the peak of the pandemic. I’ve been using it again more frequently, mostly during normal business hours. The increase in transit cops is very noticeable both on the trains themselves and at stations. The last time I used it I saw almost as many transit cops as riders.

    Lake Street is probably the worst spot for crime. There were 8 transit cops there. I counted.

    Are there people riding it and not paying? Absolutely. I see people get on at one stop and get off at the next one. Probably a lot of non payers doing exactly that.

    It’s $1.25 one way from Mpls to the airport. Much quicker to use it during peak rush hour too than sit in traffic.

    I can’t comment on the crime during non business hours. At night time I’m sure it’s worse. I’ve never felt unsafe on it even though there’s some sketchy characters present at times. I’m sure others might disagree depending on other factors.

    Wayzata may be the biggest obstacle there. In the same section too.

    Man, we really flipped a switch from a week ago. It was near -40 wind chill and didn’t make above zero air temps.

    It’s breaching the 50 degree mark in many locales today.

    The Capitals this season are a model for the argument that rebuilds aren’t necessary when you can develop average prospects into good ones and make a few good decisions in trades & free agency…

    They also have 3-4 really good prospects that are 1-2 years away that will make them even better, including Ryan Leonard who will sign once BC’s season is over and step right into their top6…

    I don’t think anyone thought the Caps would be atop the NHL standings at any point this season. Most thought they were a fringe playoff team at best. Definitely not in a rebuilding mode of any kind.

    He finished 102. Pretty much as bad as it can get. Yikes.

    its a bacteria thing!

    This is it. Leaving it out for too long in room temperature makes it ripe for bacterial growth. If you cook it properly and fully, you won’t get sick. But if you don’t, you might.

    Leaving it out for a little bit is probably fine. Just don’t leave it out long enough to allow pathogenic growth.

    I had my garage floor professionally sealed with polyuria (similar to epoxy, but binds better, and is more durable) in 2022. He was able to complete the entire process in one whole day.

    What you posted seems reasonable.

    Crazy finish. Rossi gets called for a terrible penalty in OT, they survive the penalty kill, and Rossi scores on a breakaway dribbler to win shortly after coming out of the box.

    20 goals this season is dang good for that guy already.

    I’ve never encountered a LEO in nearly 30 years of hunting and fishing here.

    So I can understand the statement that there aren’t enough of them.

    I’ve never seen the thrill of pike fishing. I avoid those things like the plague. All they are good for is snipping off jigs and other tackle and killing other valuable game fish. The bigger they are the more they stink and the bigger mess they make. Yuck!

    You and me both. Virtually nothing but a nuisance these days.

    I don’t specifically target them, ever. And yet, each season I manage to catch close to 100 by accident while bass or muskie fishing.

    I think they stink worse in the middle of summer when the water is bath tub warm.

    My comment about targeting them with tip ups was mostly just to get a response out of Johnny because he thinks anyone who targets panfish can’t catch trophy walleyes.

    Nevermind, they just said it’s continuous OT until someone wins. No shoot outs. Basically same as Stanley cup playoffs.

    I think the difference is in goal. Hellebuyck is clearly a step up from Binnington and that was demonstrated on Saturday.

    Remember that safely braking is just as important as safely towing. You need to be able to stop the trailer quickly if the event arises.

    I think it’s specifically referring to the presence of a weapon, in this case only a BB gun. But the individual did not have a permit for it and it wasn’t cased properly either.
