It’s no surprise to me that there is a majority behind banning Livescope/FFS. That number will be 60% favoring a ban within another year, I’d bet.
Did you take into consideration that the population ages and young people move into the limelight? Consider the thousands of youth anglers in High school and younger that did not weigh into this pole. The young love tech, the number will increase.
Minnesota. He has already been playing in Iowa.
BREAKING NEWS. Big Night Friday, Ohgren in.
Snuggy is ready for the NHL, he would have slightly better than non-championship caliber college players passing to him in the NHL…kudos to him for wanting to go back to school, i’m just saying he’s risking injury and his financial future doing it…there were a ton of rumors that the Blues were going to sign him (there was ZERO reasoning for them not to) as they will be pretty tight to the cap limit next season and his ELC would help with that…the fact that he didn’t is very strange imo…especially for a 1st round draft pick NCAA player, he also would have burned the 1st season of his ELC in just a few weeks of work…
best of luck to him…While I had hoped the Wild would have drafted him instead of Ohgren (Imagine Snuggy dropping RH 1 timer bombs on the Wild Powerplay, we haven’t had that since Dumba’s magical season before he got hurt fighting Tkachuk) ultimately it lead to us taking Yurov which looks like he could be the steal of that draft class…
I’ll let Dave know you think he is ready, hell probably change his mind as a result. Watch the twittersphere for the following, “On Second thought JoeMX says I am ready.”
You mean his output of 21 goals each season.
Yeah he was terrible at world juniors playing against the best in the world at his age.
Comparing Ben Myers to Snuggerud is laughable at best.
Game is played on 200′ of ice. Not just standing at the tops of the circle ripping shots. No doubt he has a world class shot for sure. However, in the NHL you have to have a complete game, unless you are Ovechkin. 21 NCAA goals is great, in fact he is the 16th best goal scorer in NCAA, is that spectacular? NO. It seems you think he is in the top 5 or 10? he is not. His assists? 13. Total Points he is closer to 50th in the NCAA. Is that dominating a level? He disappeared the last 1/3 of the season and barely showed up in the post season. From February on, he had 6 points (3g’s, 3a’s) in 12 games. Which indicates he may have been tired? Think NHL wants a kid that is gassed after a season half as long as the NHL?
Last year Jimmy had 21 goals and 29 assists, 50 points. A great year but he had a lot of secondary assists that happened because his line mates WERE NHL Caliber.
I think it is funny you are arguing a decision his NHL and professional hockey coach father helped him make. He is not ready for the NHL.
Logan Cooley is not a comparable for leaving early. Last year he had 22 goals and 38 assists. Those assists were mostly primaries. His goal scoring, scoring goals in many many different ways, was spectacular in nature. Great shot, spectacular one man efforts, goals scored in so many different ways.
The goal for these kids is not to creep into the NHL and have a 2way deal. A kid like Jimmy knows he has to make an impact when he enters.
And as an FYI, their last years Sampo had 19 goals (only 32 points) and Meyers had 17 (41 points) on a pretty poor Gophers teams. Neither having line mates as good as Jimmy has had. I think we all know Meyers was highly touted, but he has not panned out yet and I would be willing to be his experience is not what he was hoping for. would another year have helped. Yes. Sampo? Europe.
PS in the NHL he is not playing against competition his age.
Why on earth would Jimmy Snuggerud want to come back to the Gophers? Hope he has a big insurance policy…
Really. Go ask Sampo Ranta and Ben Meyers what they would do if they could relive their decision. The reality is, Snuggy is a VERY one dimensional player. See his output this season. He needed two BONFIDE NHL players on his line to produce last year. Sadly, when he was forced to create, forecheck, defend, he was exposed.
There was no decision and his dad could see that.
If you could ask Bill Guerin one question today, what would it be?
Might be able to help someone with this, battery charger and batteries upgrade cost could be a reason some may not consider buying this motor. I have a Dual Pro Professional series 4 bank charger AND 3 group 31 Duracell batteries for sale on Facebook. $300 total. The charger alone is over $600.
NHL Rushmore should be JOEMX, Tswoboda, CaptainMusky and Ripjigen. With Gimruis taking up the Crazy Horse spot.
Guerin hot water? How do you grade easily the best trade in wild history? He got rid of a selfish stat hunting me only player in Fiala for a captain material elite d-man in Faber? And a first rounder to boot? Ask LA fans how they think that turned out?
He traded Zucker for a 2020 (turned 2021) first (Lambos), Addison and Galchenyuck (a throw in)
Low key trade, Addison for Bogosian (traded 7th round pick or something) and Raska? Raska looked good when up. Bogosian is a huge upgrade to Addison based on team need now.
Obviously, prospects are not only prospects to make the team, they are more valuable as trade fodder.

My experience is temp control of any pot pan or whatever on top of a Griddle is difficult. I have fried fish in an aluminum pan on top of the BS. The first batch will go well. However, temp bounce back is terrible, takes too long to get back up to fry temp. Also pay attention to how that pan affects your seasoning. A friend used a pan on his an he had to re-season because there was a reaction between the cook surface and pan.
And when you graduate, get the Traeger Flat Rock. Blows my old Blackstone away. But Blackstone is a good starter kit until you realize how much you will use it and if yo like it.
Regardless of what the final number is, I would rather support aligned regulations statewide in an attempt to make it less confusing for the weekend angler. The confusing regulations is actually hurting angler recruitment and I’ve heard from many first hand that they are very frustrated trying to figure out the regulations for every lake they try to fish. Instead, they just won’t go.
Micromanaging every pond and stream with their own set of rules is not helping.
I know this guy, he is the same guy that lives on Facebook, jumps on Chat rooms to ask random people questions but cant figure out how to search google for an instruction manual or fishing regulation.
Pro tip; Google.com – search “insert lake name here” fishing regulation. The Minnesota DNR reg. book PDF version will pop up. Then god forbid the guy will have to read it.
100% in support of reduced bags to 4. I am also good with the bag being possession as well.
I could put a Wild 46 jersey on a Dora back pack, put the back pack on have a great Halloween costume. My costume would be called, “Jerod Spurgeon in the Playoffs”.
What is Spurgeon’s injury even? This is very concerning, he came back for what 1 game and didnt even play the whole game and has been out since.
He has a case of Toosmallitis. Been an issue for him his whole career but it is finally catching up to him
I lost respect for Heydt when Russo did that story about him and he admitted to removing Gus Bus from the team text group because he had an android.
Do you realize the reason Gus was not in the team group chat was not a decision, it was a technology reality. Every player on the team except Gus had an iPhone, Android can’t communicate via iMessage.
oops
The arm required surgical repair.
Depends.
I could talk about d play and Brock forever. I’ve trained d and have taught some pretty high level guys. I have always said good coaches, if they are smart, put the smartest kids on the team at D, I did, brocks coach did in Bantams. There aren’t many like Brock. His skill level is elite as we can see. What you cant see is what is going on inside his head, his real strength. There are a lot of guys that have his sense but not ability. We was a forward for a great deal of his life. He was a great forward. But because he is so responsible to the team he always reverted to d zone coverage for the teams sake. The skill has always been there to do what he is doing and beyond. His intelligence and sense of responsibility/TEAM is what has stifled his offensive game thus far. He has been forced to carry d duties for he and his partners, basically he covers for his partners lack of knowledge/responsibility. Leading up to college, kids are constantly trying to make a name for themselves for recruiting purposes, most think the only way to do so is to stack up points. So often Brock would play to cover for his partners lack of discipline. They would take off, he would have to cover. His ability to transition in the neutral zone, advance out of the d zone, were all honed by basically being alone back there. That is how he made his name known to recruiters. He is the Pat Mahomes of D men, can get you out of anything. Now that he is in the NHL, he has guys that he can rely on, guys that realize, Brock is the man, he has the skills, THEY are now sub servant to him and that gives him freedom. So basically he has finally escaped having to be the security blanket.
Haha, I remember those days. Honestly the PP at the pee wee level when I was there was not much of an advantage either. When I got to Bantams then there was an noticeable advantage because we could actually shoot the puck.
You obviously haven’t seen top level (A/AA) Peewees play today. Most are likely able to shoot comparable or better than when you were a bantam. 90 second penalties are the only reason they dont score often on the PP.
There’s just no way a hockey player who’s reached the semi-pro level is going to lift their leg like that on purpose, there’s just no way it would even cross your mind to do it…
You have no way of knowing what a player was thinking. This guy led the league in PIMS last year by a margin. He had several games in excess of 20 minutes with a high of 32 PIMS in one game. I’ve payed some hockey, I had heavy roles. You have to lose your mind to get to 32 minutes in one game.

Lower skilled players will do anything they can to make an impact. That is true from Bar league on up. They dont have the skill, they don’t have control of their stick, elbows or legs. They often have panicked reactions to make plays. In this case Adam made a move Petgrave wasn’t expecting, yeah he got a little contact but it feels like he threw his leg a bit more than normal to try and slow him down. Petgrave is a d-man so he likely felt like he was out of position and needed to make up for it, it was a panic effort that led to a tragic outcome. The lower skilled player on the ice is always the most dangerous. This guys track record indicates he may have a screw loose. I would be willing to guess he has had stick swinging infractions based on the PIMs he has been assessed. I hope they took a blood sample following the game…
an example of a defective rod claim. I talked to a guy at a sportshow in a booth.
Angler, “I have had 3 of these rods replaced by warranty, each time the rod breaks at the same exact spot. the rod design is defective.”
Clarifying question, “what kind of boat?, where to you store rods?”
Answer, “aluminum, in the rod locker”.
Turned out the transition of the rod locker to the front deck had an aluminum rivet flange. The flange was raw aluminum, it did not have a piece of trim. The trim was sawing the blank on trips across the lake and on the road.
My point is, you never know what is happening to rods when not in your immediate possession. I could tell you countless other stories from lindy rig weights banging on blanks to car doors to rod locker doors. I laugh every time I see a Tuna boat coming off a rolling lake with rods teetering over the aluminum gunnel, bouncing and rubbing on aluminum with big weights and bobbers slapping around.
I have seen MFG stress tests on rod blanks in person, most take more load to break than any one of us can actually put on them when they are fresh built. The MFG processes are so streamlined/efficient that there is almost no flaws in material cuts or application on mandrels. I suggest if you don’t want to be inconvenienced by an untimely break, buy rod sleeves to protect the the blanks, hang them in rod racks out of danger. just take measures to protect them.
I have a few questions.
How old was the rod?
What kind of boat do you have an how do you travel with the rod?
Do you use rod sleeves, does your boat have built in rod tubes in the rod locker or just open space?
Have you ever cast and had a sinker come through an hit the blank.
Have you ever been landing a fish with rods on the deck?
I can tell you first hand rod companies have been trying to reverse the warranty situation they put themselves in for over 20 years. Proof is how the length of warranties has diminished from lifetime to limited or 15 years at the highest, replacement costs etc. The fraudulent warranty submissions were killing the domestic rod companies. Rod companies positioned their product, them most fragile product in all of fishing, with the most extreme warranties. The manufacturers used warranties to buy customers/business. It worked until consumers started abusing the system. A rod that “Snaps” with a 10″ walleye on the line OBVIOUSLY had some abuse, likely not intentional or even known, prior to that event. Anything from sinkers resting on the blank and banging on it while in a rod locker, an aluminum flange inside a rod locker, a sinker that bangs the blank on a cast, your kid hit it with a ball in the garage, so many things can happen but the rod MFG is Always to blame.
None of this applies to why St Croix is not replying to the customer but it is the larger topic in the fishing rod business. Consumers have unrealistic expectations of durability and expect 100% replacement and that warranty expectation policy is the MFGs problem.
The next one might be even better…..
i’m just saying the online craziness is getting out of hand…
Does, “Online craziness” also extend to your efforts to grow this thread to 5,000 pages?
They were all golfing today….Including Shaw. Rossi is a stump. Looking close to Zuccarello in stature.
Sad hope the sane people will evacuate and be safe. In other news, No traffic on LA interstate.
