Never heard of fragging so I looked it up. I found a photo of Wilson, lol.

Defininition. Fragging is the deliberate or attempted killing of a soldier, usually a superior, by a fellow soldier

In his postgame interview Cassidy pointed out the “blown” icing call, but he was also quick to say you move on from it.

Oops, wrong conversation. But, I agree!!!

Eelpout pattern. Very cool.

I had a bat do a couple fly by’s at my head last summer in the middle of the day. Later I went on the deck to sit at the patio table. Went to extend the patio table umbrella and he came flying out of there and scared the living crap out of me! He was nesting in the pleats of the umbrella. I got a bat house and put it up but nothing moved in by the end of the season. I have heard it can take bats a couple years before they will use a house that’s been put up for them. By the way where do they go in the winter time?

I heard a stat on the telecast last night that the Wild are undefeated and something like 32-0 (please correct me) when leading after 2 periods? That’s crazy!

Joe Nelson’s article in Bring Me The News said during the regular season the Wild were 29-0 when leading after 2 periods. Last night made it 30-0. Remarkable stat.

Tom Reid after 2 periods. “Stay the course”.

To quote Tom Reid after period 1. “Stay the course”.

You’d be amazed how many just don’t care about daily vs possession. Go fish Big Pine or Otter Tail in Perham in May and June. The folks of Polish heritage quite literally go out day after day and keep limits. There are some big freezers in that county.

Lower it to 4. None of the lakes are like Erie in this state, and 6 fish will feed a family of 4 healthy adults no problem, unless they are obese but we don’t need to cater to them. Happy Easter!

Call the TIP line if regulations aren’t being followed.

It’s been awhile since I fished the Rainy, but we use to bring dead bait (frozen or preserved minnows) to the Canadian side. Is this still legal? I also remember a year we launched on the Canadian side, bought minnows in Canada, and never crossed in to Minnesota to fish. A few boats thought we transported live bait across the border.

When is the first playoff game?

Would be funny if the Wild game goes to OT and they start Merrill, Trenin, and Brazeau. Pop Flower in net for a 5 minute finale and shootout, if he wants it. Realistically should do that if the game makes it there.

If the Blues don’t beat a hot Utah team in Regulation, Calgary could win out and bump them. Vegas is resting pretty much everyone tonight in Calgary, and LA probably does the same on Thursday.

Do you have any stock tips for me? Incredible call.

aberg was definitely a popular pick after finishing 2nd at Augusta last year and has been looking good with an early win already this year. I love his swing and he plays fast which is a treat.

I agree Matt, lots of good stories in the game right now.

Speaking of fast, I’m so glad the camera was barely on Rose. He takes forever to line up his shots. Imagine if the final pairing was Rose/Garcia?

Pretty good bite the last few days. Water is a couple degrees warmer than the last two weekends and it showed.

PSA that might get some hate here – quit fighting the snagged sturgeon for so long. If you want to catch them, then actually target them with heavy enough gear – they are sweet fish and a blast on real sturgeon equipment.

Idk how many we saw just yesterday alone but a lot of guys out there fight them forever. You know it’s not a walleye after a few seconds so just pull on the line and more often than not the jig will bend out. Watching guys fight these things for 20, 40, 60, 80+ minutes is not a good look and also tough on those fish. Yes, they are resilient but they’re not invincible. Ok carry on.

Off to a great start. Let’s see if he can keep the momentum through day 4.

I have been going to Ontario thru Ft Francis since 1970s and cannot recall a single time being searched. Going back thru US customs a different story.

My experience as well coming into the U.S. And, it’s been dozens of entry points from Washington to Minnesota. I can always expect a more thorough interrogation coming into the U.S. It even predated 9/11 for me.

What I’ve gathered is that the event that set off the douche captain happened hours before this encounter. The “kid” was fishing in that location near another boat when the captain went through the area on plane. Allegedly someone from the other boat did the yelling in that first contact. The captain then stopped back to confront whoever had offended him and this guy was the only one left fishing in that spot. It really doesn’t matter what the kid said. That captain is getting everything he deserves and is very lucky he’s not dead with Florida’s self defense laws.

I thought I heard the guide accuse “bro” of not having his lights on too. No lights on triggers me as much as hearing someone say bro. But, I’d never board another boat to my case.

I remember WCCO as Boone & Erickson for the morning drive and Cannon the afternoon drive. But, i may have that turned around, it’s been awhile.

They would do a bit as Finn and Gill. Corny Scandinavian jokes but I loved it.

For the old guys on here, who else listened to the Cannon Mess? At the height of his popularity, it was the most listened to program in the entire country. I sure miss the barking dogs, Ma Linger, and Backlash Larue.

I spend a lot of time in waders and enjoy the simplicity of it all. However, what I spend on waders I could have bought a new 15hp Johnson motor 50 years ago. But still, wading is cheaper than FFS (but I have that too).

If the concern is the impact on populations of fish, reduce limits.

If catch and release mortality is an issue, change how that’s done. Where I do the majority of my fishing each summer, if a fish is going to be released, it can not be removed from the water. Several studies have been done on its efficacy. So much better than improper handling on top of the time a fish is out of the water for a glory photo.

Classy by Ovi getting the whole team on the ice for Fleury. That was wicked cool.

I was there! Absolute goosebumps when Ovi brought everyone out to honor Fleury.

Kids with big shots like that are dangerous unless they can keep them down and manageable for someone in front. My brother took a shot right to his mask in warmups before a game. His ears were ringing the entire game. Somehow managed a shutout anyway. The cage was actually bent so bad it touched his nose.

In college my coach was tired of our goalies taking pucks to the face in practice. He blew the whistle and told us that the next guy that dings one off the goalies head will have to be goalie for the rest of the practice, with only a glove, blocker, and stick. Sure enough, one guy couldn’t control his shot and spent an hour in net. It never happened again the rest of the season for any us. Message sent.

It was open when I was up on 3/14. I asked the girl checking me out about the sale and she said “he’s tired”.

Looks like Brazeau has soft legs to with his soft hands. A goal scoring machine!

Pre smartphone and camera I saw a boat with “My Dixie Wreck” across the transom.

A Canadian Government official just announced a Travel Advisory to warn Canadians to travel to the USA only if absolutely necessary.

Also Germany just announced a travel warning about visiting the USA

A dangerous place for travellers right now with ICE on the warpath – some Canadians and German visitors have been rounded up and detained – Canadian actress for 10 days in a”shithole cell” she said, a German businessman put in chains – Yikes.

Not sure what will become of border crossings , likely easier and quicker as fewer people will be crossing in either direction for likely at least the next 4 years, maybe longer as Trump staffers are going to announce he will run for a third term – he is going to change the “rules” on POTUS terms.

Ive done a fair amount of searching this and cannot find anything to support what you are saying. I am guessing you are getting your information from sources in Canada in which that COuntry jails reportors for merely asking people on the street questions. Meanwhile a reporter from Canada is in Prison in the UK for doing the exact same thing and in solitary confinement.
This is what I was able to find about travel advisories and nothing supports what you posted. Also, separately, Canada explicitly stated “Follow normal precautions for entering the united states”.

“On Tuesday, Germany’s Foreign Ministry updated its travel advisory for the U.S. after several Germans were reportedly detained at the border.

The ministry said that neither approval through the U.S. ESTA system nor a U.S. visa means people will be granted entry every time.

“The final decision on whether a person can enter the U.S. lies with the U.S. border authorities,” a German ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The change does not count as an official travel warning, they added.

The United Kingdom published a similar advisory on Wednesday regarding immigration and understanding the laws for U.S. entry.

“You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules,” the guidance reads.

It’s a deviation from earlier this year. Archived versions of the U.K.’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) website from February briefly reference U.S. entry rules being strictly enforced, at the time providing no explicit warning about potential legal consequences.”

I don’t believe everything I read on the internet, but it’s obvious CaptainMusky is a voice of reason.

Here’s an interview with Randolph and his decision to resign.

I saw the article in the StarTribune this morning about Randolph leaving and or retiring. It really wasn’t clear which one. What gives?
