One of the smartest hockey players of all time and a warhorse with immense work ethics to boot.

Damn!

Yes, so disappointing at the time and especially a couple years later when they went to the Finals. His first couple years here were tough but the season Bure joined the team really turned the corner and Larionov was a big part of it. Rolling out Larionov/Bure/Adams and Ronning/Linden/Courtnall in the top 6 would have been good. I remember thinking he would have made the difference while watching the Rangers series and thought the same way in 2011 reflecting on how Mattias Ohlund and Willie Mitchell could have helped handle the Bruins.

Yup, I've always thought The Professor would have made the difference.

He and Bure were magic together...

There used to be lady who worked at the Interlakes Store on Highway 24 with a pretty substantial gap between her big bulgy eyes. She used to wear a shitload of colourful makeup. We called her The Chameleon.

Tom Fergus played, what another 30 games for the team?

I've been to that store tons of times and I think I know who you mean. lol

Lol. Do you have a cabin in the area?

I don't, wish I did though. For a number of years I was spending at least 3 weeks a year up there staying at Fawn Lake Resort in one of the three modern cabins and fishing the general area. We stopped fishing Fawn, it was fished out lunker wise, but still stayed there. I remember going to Interlakes plenty of times when the old store was there and long before Rona was put in. We'd head to the Iron Horse Pub a few times each trip too, food doesn't seem as good after the ownership change. I missed a few years and went up last year and stayed at a B&B not far from Irish. Some big fish in that lake. We were kamikaze fishermen, pack enough food, water, beer, and a thermos with coffee and Bailey's to last a whole day in the boat or float tube. lol. Do you have a place up there?

We have a cabin on Deka. Good fishing up there even though I’m not much of a fisherman. My buddy slays that lake, he’s been on the B.C. fishing show a couple times with Mike Mitchell. Owns a big fishing/hunting online store in Mission. I’m more into just boating and quading... it’s a great country six months out of the year. The winters aren’t for me.

Funny you bring up the Rona. I had a massive falling out with the owner. I won’t even go buy a nail off him now. I’ll drive to 100 mile out of spite. He’s a fucking vulture. Similar to the guy who owned the Interlakes store and the Sheridan store. They had a monopoly. Fortunately the store has been bought by the East Indians. Longer hours, more shit, but still crappy prices. I try to bring up as much food and booze as I can but still support the local economy

I was just thinking about this last night.

Didn't the Sedins, or one of the Sedins help Frankie get that job?

He didn't do so good here but he had back-up. Mega; you gotta remember this....
