I agree that the Panthers are moving in the right direction. You'd think after last season the fan base would grow and actually start attending the games.

 

We got our first rain in about 4 months yesterday , feels like woodstove time

 

Really? Is that due to the drought? I thought it rained more frequently there.

 

Yes , 2nd drought year in a row , we're at drought level 4 which is the highest

 

Makes no sense considering most of the praries were nearly flooded out this year.

 

Welcome to the SoCal lifestyle ...

SoCal isn't in the temperate rainforest

 

..even so, salt water is abundant and should be used where it can to save regular drinking water, such as ice hockey rinks for example.

I don't miss the drought one bit.

 

That's crazy. We've been getting all your weather this summer. Eff'n rain won't go away. I keep telling people that we somehow slipped Central Alberta out to the West Coast.

 

Single game NHL tickets on sale now ... just picked up some for Sat Oct 22. Going to be a good year !

 

How was your time in the woods?

One of life's simple but greatest pleasures. My homes in the BC interior always had wood stoves. Now I have to be at my cottage for that. So far my insurance rates have kept me from installing one at home.

Water levels were high here most of the summer. All of that water came in intense downpours. It was a hot humid summer and I swear for most of the days ended with a thunderstorm and the rest of the days the thunder came in the middle of the night.

It's time for hockey

 

Most of the 'Snowbirds' are on the Gulf Coast supporting the Lightning.

 

Jets named Blake Wheeler captain today. The A's went to Byfuglien and Scheiffle.

No surprises there.

 

Myers seems deserving to this outsider fwiw.

Dean should see if he can grab Tanguay on the cheap .... could be a sweet perk, ala Vincent Lecavalier style.

 

I like Myers, and agree that he would easily be deserving.
