  1. Hawks have picked 4 D in the first two rounds over the last couple of years... but still
  2. What is Burrs relationship to Montreal Canadians that they mentioned. I knew he was a coach somewhere (Laval maybe) but is he working for the Habs now?
  3. Picks 1 to 3: Benning stated multiple times through out the year they want a play maker winger for Bo's line. 1. Zegras (not in poll but possibility we move up to get him) - second in skill to Hughes? 2. Boldy - can pass and shoot! 3. Krebs - all around player with high compete 4. A RHD - Soderstrom (or Seider) Honorable mentions: newhook podman (if available would be great for first line)
  4. Possibly his last words in Toronto. Ha, ha, Ha, Ha, Hahhh... Fitting on so many fronts...
  5. maybe Cozens is this years Virtanen. All dash and no flash
  6. Button really shaking up his draft order: https://www.tsn.ca/craig-s-list-caufield-scores-his-way-into-top-5-1.1316942 Hughes Kakko Byram Caufield Boldy Zegras Broberg Krebs Podkolzin Turcotte Harley Dach Kaliyev Cozens Knight York Lavoie Newhook Nikolaev Brink Afanasyev McMichael Tomasino Kolyachonok Soderstrom Seider Bjornfot Robertson Ryan Suzuki Brett Leason Matthew Robertson
  7. Button is going to have Turcotte at 10 on his final list tomorrow
  8. Surf blanks are typically either poly urethane foam or EPS foam with a wood stringer (usually some sort of ply) in them. They come in different sizes so you pick a size as close as possible to what you want to shape. Once you shape the blank you glass with fiberglass usually two 4oz glass layers on top and one 4oz layer on bottom. A shortboard blank around 6'6" is going for around $75 USD it seems. Long boards closer to $100 USD. This website has blanks and full kits to make surfboards. Its the shipping that will kill you though. https://greenlightsurfsupply.com/ Greenlight has a lot of info on how to make a board and what you need. If you are in the lower mainland you could make a short trip south of the border to Mt Vernon and get everything you need at this place. You can fill up on gas while you are at it as well!!! http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/ I simply bought a bunch of 2# EPS foam blocks from Plast-Fab in Delta. Foam costs about $30 CDN avg for a board. Buy a piece of 3/16" or 1/4" marine ply and cut several stringers from it and glue the stringers in between two blocks of foam and you have a blank. Some of my boards I am trying no stringer and use 1" or so carbon strip down the center, top and bottom, when you lay the glass. Like these http://carbonwrap.lostsurfboards.net/ you can get epoxy and glass locally. Note some resin is not compatible with one of poly urethane foam or EPS. Cant remember which, except epoxy works with EPS, but info on Greenlight will tell you what resin you can use with what foams. Fin boxes and leash plugs can be ordered from greenlight or fiberglass supply or other sites. A lot of tools can be made or ordered. Templates can be bought or made. There is free 3D CAD software out there for designing a board that is pretty easy to use. Like BoardCAD https://www.boardcad.com/ some have a small monthly fee but more options. You can print out your own templates for outlines and rockers and start shaping your dream craft.
  9. Tieing flies is awesome. Was never really good at it but mainly enjoyed tieing some steelhead flies. My funniest fly was for Pink Salmon along some Van Island beaches. Literally only a hook and three short strands of green deer hair. It worked as well as pink handlebars etc...!!!!
  10. Awesome tips. I've watched a few youtube videos for concrete counters and recognize a lot of what you are saying as well .... melamine and black sealant, lots of vibrating etc. you did not have too polish/wet grind the exposed sides? I guess if you vibrate enough you get the cream to the top and it gives a nice smooth surface? My reno seems to be the exact same stage as yours lool. Only have a toilet (go to my moms for showers and washing clothes). Kitchen and one bedroom is functional but everything else is construction zone. Just getting to the mudding stage. First time drywalling so been watching lots of youtube videos on that as well...
  11. Dude I am renovating my house right now and want to do a concrete hearth - maybe charcoal colour as well. You have any photos? Also want to do a concrete outdoor fire table
  12. I am planning to shape a few surfboards this summer for next season. That acrylic pour @Boeserker would look sick on a surfboard using resin.
  13. Exactly how i feel. EP's mind and hands are too fast for his feet at this point. Some quick feet and a stronger base will help EP take it to another level where he can deke guys without falling down or getting himself in awkward positions.
  14. plus Toffoli is a nuck killer so better to have on our team
  15. He's out Makar Alf. Skates well and heavy shot
  16. Just listening to Guddy on the radio. Class act all the way. Good luck to him!
  17. Steam Sale: Bought Rainbow Six Siege for around $15 (sale end Feb 18) Dark Souls III ( i think around $17) Some other games for sale included Borderlands...
  18. Anyone playing Apex Legends yet? Free to Play https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/about Downloaded it but only tried the training exercise. Have never played a Battle Royal style FPS. Only ever played Battlefield franchise FPS games but did not like BF1 as it was dumbed down and have not bought BF5 yet (despite it being much better than BF1 by all accounts). Have been hearing good things about this game so far.
