Well happy to report all is well here.Without a doubt, we're getting an old fashion winter. For the past 7-8 years, we have had very little snow here on the Rock, every Christmas including most of this one has been a green one. But once 2020 rolled in, it certainly brought the northeast and northern winds with it, hence bringing lots of snow. Personally winter is by far my worst time of year. And not all because of my back because I have always hated snow. We always bought skidoos for the boys when they were young but that's pretty much my only fond memories of winter. But I do love the fall season. Very much appreciate your well wishes and hope the worst of this winter is behind us. I see Leafs took a beating from Chicago tonight.Never watched any hockey but seen score. Looking forward to the Bruins beating Pens again tomorrow evening. For those of you who dont have a hockey package, game tomorrow is on regular NBC station. Game time is 12:30 EST, just a reminder. Let's Go Bruins!!!

Lots of thoughts going your way over the last little while with such a huge dump of snow and that big blizzard. You Newfoundland folk are quite hardy people! I had no doubt you'd all manage your way through it. Take care my friend!

Nearly every story about Bruins captain Zdeno Chara defying age limitations has been told. At this point, no one should be surprised that he’s still playing in the NHL at age 42. Or that he’s still making an impact on the ice.
“He’s outliving the game, right?” said Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy. “Every player in every sport ages out at some point. Maybe they don’t agree with who’s making that call about them aging out, but you see it in baseball, you see it in football. Any major sport there comes a time that, for whatever reason, skills diminish — maybe reaction time, the body breaks down, or the mental grind of it. Zdeno has none of that.”
Chara has played on a pair of one-year contracts the last two seasons and he’s hoping that trend continues, but the sides have yet to discuss his future. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced the previous two extensions in March 2018 and March 2019.
“We haven’t talked about it yet, and for good reason,” Chara told The Athletic. “To be honest, there are guys ahead of me in that process and I have to wait, obviously. So, based on those signings and decisions, we’ll see what’s going to happen with my situation. I understand, and it’s pretty obvious, guys are ahead of me.”
Defenseman Torey Krug is at the front of that line. The 28-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The sides have talked and the process continues, but there’s been no developments of late.
“Nothing,” Krug confirmed.
Besides Chara and Krug, defenseman Kevan Miller, forward Joakim Nordstrom and goalie Jaroslav Halak are all set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1. Forwards Jake DeBrusk, Anders Bjork and Karson Kuhlman, along with defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, will be restricted free agents. Miller, who has been sidelined the entire season due to a knee injury he suffered in the final week of the 2018-19 regular season, began skating on his own on Sunday.
Then there’s David Backes’ complicated situation. The Bruins placed the veteran forward on waivers last Friday and he cleared with the purpose of assignment to Providence of the AHL. However, the Bruins allowed him to take the All-Star break and bye-week off to decide his future. The 35-year-old still has one season remaining on his five-year, $30 million contract.
So, Chara needs to wait in line this time around.
In March 2018, he signed a one-year deal worth $5 million with $1.75 in incentives. Last spring, he agreed to a one-year contract extension worth a base salary of $2 million with another $1.75 in incentives.
Chara, who turns 43 on March 18, wants to return for at least another season.
“I do want to play,” he said. “Again, I have to wait and see what’s going to be happening at the end of the season and how I feel and how the team feels.”
His ability to still make an impact after 22 seasons in the NHL is impressive, especially in light of the Backes situation, where the much younger player was unable to keep up with the pace of this game on a consistent basis. Chara still averages 20 minutes of ice time per game, and has five goals and nine assists on the season.
“You really can’t put an emphasis on age,” Chara said. “You’ve seen it before where guys play for a long time. It’s hard even for young guys. You don’t see 23, or 24-year-old guys just breezing through the game, thinking, ‘Oh, this is easy.’ It’s not. It’s not just the age. There are multiple things playing a role in these hockey decisions, so it’s not just the age.”
Chara lives a clean life. He’s dedicated to a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, exercise and more recently, a conversion to a plant-based diet. He’s lived this stringent ethos much of his career, which is a major reason for his longevity.
“It’s not a fluke. He didn’t wake up one day and say, ‘I got to get in shape now that I’m 40 because I want to play for the next two years.’ He’s prepared himself,” said Cassidy.
“He’s one of the toughest guys mentally I’ve ever been around. The passion for the game drives him every day. He’s a good student of the game, so he’s adjusted to the things he can and can’t do on the ice. For him, that’s how he’s beating it. It takes a special human being to be able to do it at that age.”
Cassidy also believes Chara’s longevity stems from a bit of good fortune, in that Chara has avoided major injuries during his career — especially incredible given his 6-foot-9, 255-pound frame. Other than a couple of knee injuries, and the normal bumps and bruises connected with hockey, Chara has remained relatively healthy after 1,533 games.
“Sometimes if you have a major injury, maybe a number of concussions, or a knee injury that keeps acting up, or a back, something that has nagged at him for 20-something years,” Cassidy said. “That, to me, can contribute to a guy aging out sooner or lasting longer.”
So, it won’t be a surprise when or if the Bruins announce another one-year contract extension for a third consecutive season for Chara. When the time is right, he’ll be ready.

OS>> VERY bad weather here on the island today, We got around 50-60 cm's of snow today and expecting another 25-30 cm tonight. Winds all day averaging 100-120 km's and worst is supposed to be around midnight, which is now, supposed to gust 120-150 hurricane winds.Apparently, anyone who's familar with "The Battery" in St. John's, well apparently they had an avalanche today and all the people in the area were evacuated. Praying no one got hurt in there and everyone is safe. We're getting the brunt of those heavy winds right now. We had new windows installed around 5 years ago and you can easily hear the vinyl buckle, not a good sound at all. After losing the house I built to Hurricane Igor in 2010, I know this is nothing compared to back then but still, it gives us an eerie feeling as you can well expect. But I would imagine the worst that could happen is a power outage but so far, so good. Will update all my friends here tomorrow when hopefully winds get below 100km at least. weather.gc.ca/city/pages/nl-14_metric_e.html24 hours of snow.

Our NHL player poll is back, and it’s bigger and better than a year ago.
The Athletic’s hockey reporters spent the past couple months polling players around the league to get answers to our most pressing NHL questions. When all was said and done, we spoke to players from all 31 teams and nearly 400 players in total — 392 to be exact. That’s more than half the entire league.
Before we get to the answers, note these results are not entirely scientific. Every player was granted anonymity but many still declined to answer some of the questions, were indifferent or just didn’t have an answer.
This piece isn’t the end of the player poll fun either. Over the next week or so, many of our local markets will have their own team-specific polls, so keep an eye out for those.
Now let’s get to the results.
1. Who is the best player in the game?
Last year, Sidney Crosby was the winner with 48 percent of the vote but it seems the torch has officially been passed to Connor McDavid.
“It’s crazy because there are so many great ones but he’s like a video game,” a Pacific Division player said of McDavid.
“Just so skilled, so dangerous. I think guys who say Crosby at this point are mostly just being nice. McDavid’s the guy,” added an Atlantic Division player.
Crosby is third behind Nathan MacKinnon, but even at 32 he’s still among the elite.
“For me, growing up, it’s always been Sidney Crosby,” a Pacific player said. “Some of the little things he does within the game are incredible. The hockey sense and defensive zone sticks and that type of thing. He’s been at such a high level for such a long time.”
“Everyone will say McDavid, but Sid is still the guy for me,” said a Metro Division player.
2. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final – Aside from your own goalie, who do you want starting in goal?
No changing of the guard here. Carey Price is the winner again, with a larger percentage share of a larger group of players, despite his struggles this season. Reputation matters, it seems.
“I don’t think he has the numbers that he normally has this year. But he’s pressure tested. He’s battle-tested,” said a Pacific Division player.
“He’s just been so good for so long. Everyone, especially in that position, has their ups and downs,” said a Pacific player from a different team. “He always finds a way to bounce back. In a Game 7, regardless of how he’d been playing in the months before, I feel like he can just bring it. And he’s so technically good. He always has that to fall back on.”
There was at least some love for Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, who, you know, actually won Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final just a few months ago.
“(Binnington) just did it — how can you pick anyone else?” a Metro Division player said.
3. Who is the most underrated player?
Aleksander Barkov wins this category for the second year in a row. We’re going to have to retire the question because back-to-back wins should make Barkov sufficiently rated. Thing is, some players think he’s just really good.
“To me, he’s a Top 3 player in the league and I don’t think a lot of people would say that,” one Atlantic Division player said.
“Barkov’s got the best hands in the NHL for a big guy,” a Central player said. “He’s huge, he’s got an unbelievable shot, unbelievable vision. He’s got it all in one package. There’s not one thing in his game that is lacking.”
Barkov’s Panthers teammate Jonathan Huberdeau is right behind him. Many players think they don’t get enough media exposure playing in Florida and no one knows how good they are.
“(Huberdeau) had 92 points last season and no one knew about it – not even me till I looked it up!” a Metro Division player said.
4. Who is the dirtiest player in the league?
Now we come to the first question players were a little hesitant to answer. Some took issue with the concept of dirty players altogether.
“Nobody’s dirty,” a Pacific Division player said. “I know guys who are cheap. There are a lot of rats in the league. (Matthew) Tkachuk’s a rat. Brad Marchand’s a rat. But I wouldn’t call them dirty.”
Others disagreed and had lots to say about Marchand, in particular. Let’s go with a sampling from all four divisions.
“Marchand can do some shady shit.” — a Pacific Division player.
“Let’s go with Brad Marchand. He’s a little prick.” — a Metro Division player.
“It’s disgusting what the league lets Marchand get away with. He’s got no respect for anybody. Makes me sick.” — a Central Division player.
“It’s just the little things he tries to get away with, and you can’t get away with things now just because there are so many cameras. But it’s the little shoulders to the chin, elbows to the chin, small things, slash the goalie in the back of the knees. Those types of things. But he is upfront about it.” — an Atlantic Division player.
Capitals winger Tom Wilson is close behind and in the same mold of “dirty” yet effective.
“I was thinking Tom Wilson,” a Pacific Division player said. “He does some stupid shit. But he can play the game at least. He walks the edge and is very effective to his team.”
5. Who is the best defensive defenseman?
Defensive defenseman is difficult to define and even more difficult to quantify. So this is a question we at The Athletic selfishly wanted the answer to.
Victor Hedman is a perennial Norris contender and the players told us why.
“He’s outstanding. Such a good skater. He’s huge too, he’s got a long stick so it’s really hard to get around him,” an Atlantic Division player said.
“He’s the toughest guy to deal with because he’s so big, and he can really move, and he’s got a mean streak,” added another Atlantic Division player.
6A. Who is the best referee in the league?
6B. Who is the worst referee in the league?
This was the toughest question to get answers to. Of our 392 players, only about half gave an answer for best referee and only about 38 percent had an answer for worst ref. So we’ve got a smaller sample size here, take the results with an added grain of salt.
And it’s not because players didn’t want to talk about refs – it’s because they don’t know them. For every “I don’t want to shit on anybody” response there were many more variations of “I just don’t know their names.”
Those who did, though, have strong opinions.
“Best is probably Wes McCauley. Just a good communicator, he’s honest with you when you get a penalty or when you do something he didn’t call, he gives you fair warning. He’s one of the better ones,” an Atlantic Division player said.
“I like all the old guys,” said a Central Division player. “All the older refs that don’t get super defensive and offended, and are not afraid to say ‘Fuck you’ right back.”
Despite the smaller sample size, some players certainly seemed to know Justin St. Pierre’s name.
“St. Pierre may be the most arrogant human being I’ve ever seen. It’s honestly like he hates the players. He treats everybody like shit.” — a Central Division player.
“(St. Pierre) is the worst. Bar none. Bar. None.” — a Metro Division player.
“I hate picking (St. Pierre) because he’ll probably be happy if he wins it.” — a Metro Division player.
7. Which player, not on your own team, would you most like to have a beer with?
Alex Ovechkin’s now-legendary partying exploits after the Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018 have given him all kinds of street cred with players.
“After watching him after the Cup, I think that would be fun,” a Pacific Division player said. “It would probably be a wild night.”
“From the size of him, he can probably pile it back. Although he’s probably on the hard stuff, most of the Russians are,” an Atlantic Division player said.
On Sidney Crosby:
“I grew up idolizing him. He’s got that perfect media persona, but it’d be cool to get to know what he’s really like.” – Central Division player.
“Then I could say I had a beer with Sidney Crosby.” – Pacific Division player.
On Joe Thornton:
“He’d have good stories and he seems like a fun guy.” – Atlantic Division player.
“He’s a legend.” – Pacific Division player.
On Keith Yandle:
“Playing with him in Florida, he’s the funniest guy. He’s one of those guys who has no filter. He tells you these outrageous stories but he’s not self-conscious about it at all. He takes everything as a joke. Just an easy-going guy.” – Atlantic Division player
Finally, we have to leave you with this, even though the two players didn’t make the cut on the graphic above.
“Marc and Jordan Staal. This is anonymous, right?” – Unidentified Minnesota Wild center who requested anonymity.
8. Outdoor games: Too many? Not enough? Just right?
The overall sentiment from players was that they mostly love playing in the games but the Winter Classic has the most prestige and it should remain that way.
“I don’t think they should do any more than they already have. The (others) aren’t hyped like the Winter Classic, so they’re more local. But if they had kept it to one, I think the prestige of the Classic would have remained. But I’ll play in as many as they want me to,” said a Metro Division player.
The flip side of that, is some players are concerned about the conditions of the game impacting the outcome and the standings.
“For how much the points really matter, it’s kind of getting a little gimmicky,” said a Pacific Division player. “I get it. It’s a big event. They make it a big event. It’s fun to go outdoors. But there’s so much you can’t control as far as the conditions. I think there’s too many now.”
Many players just wanted to throw shade at the Blackhawks.
“I’ve only played in one. It was fun. You’ve gotta ask guys on Chicago.” – Pacific Division player.
“Too many for Chicago.” – Metro Division player.
“It would be nice if they would switch the teams a little bit. It’s ridiculous.” – Pacific Division player.
9. Do you pay attention to advanced stats?
The advanced stats revolution may be informing decisions off the ice but it has not yet made its way to the players.
“Fuck no,” said an Atlantic Division player. “I think they’re stupid.”
“I don’t even pay attention to normal stats,” said a Pacific Division player. “I don’t know enough about it to pay attention,” said another Atlantic player. “It’s more like accounting, I have somebody for that. Leave it up to them.”
From a Pacific Division player who said Yes: “I think they have a place. I don’t think you can look at any one and say, ‘This guy’s a good player or this guy isn’t.’ There has to be context in everything.”
One Atlantic Division player summed up the issue very thoughtfully.
“I think it’s intuitive for us. I know when I’ve been getting shelled on a shift or a whole game,” he said. “We know that – I don’t need someone to tell me that. I’ve been doing this for a long time. … You just know if things are going well or not, whether its shot attempts against or whatever metric is being used.”
10. If you could change one rule, what would it be?
Things got a little weird on this question.
The graphic above shows the five most common/popular responses, but overall, there were nearly 80 different suggestions. Everything from eliminating the instigator rule to changing the playoff format to making helmets optional.
If anything, it probably speaks to players being pretty content with the rules. If a player is offered an opportunity to make one single change to anything in the league and his wish is to not have to wear a suit to the game, the league is probably doing just fine overall.
Still, defensemen do not like taking penalties for shooting the puck over the glass.
“The delay of game rule – puck over glass – that’s the fucking nemesis of a D-man,” a Pacific Division player said.
“There are certain times when it’s more deliberate or you have to be more careful, but there are other times when it’s accidental and you can totally tell,” a Central Division player said. “I don’t know how you draw that line, but there are times when that rule can be tough.”
The offside challenge is a hot topic, too.
“I feel like you’ve got to change the rule,” an Atlantic Division player said. “If it happens 15-20 seconds later in the play, if it doesn’t affect the rush, I don’t think they should review that. If you’re in the zone and it’s a few inches, it’s like, ‘Are we really going to take that back?’”
“It just makes the linies look bad,” a Pacific Division player said.

Funny stuff from Boston's Bruce Cassidy when I asked him about job security in the NHL coaching ranks:
"Laviolette, DeBoer, Gerard, all Cup finalists that didn't win in the last few years. So I started thinking, well who lost in the Stanley Cup Final last year? That guy's next."

So I started thinking, well who lost in the Stanley Cup Final last year? That guy's next." Honestly sometimes I wonder if Butch has anything to worry about. But then I look back at the time Sweeney fired Julien{thats another one Madmarx} and passed the reins over to Cassidy. Bruins finished the season with Cassisdy as coach and he and the Bruins did quite well while Julien hasnt fared well in Habbieland, mostly due to a mediocre teams because FA's just wont sign to play there. Anyway, Boston has done remarkable under Cassidy. 1st year under Butch, they lost to TB 2nd RD, and of course one win shy of the Magic 16 last season. Personally I think the fate of Cassidy all depends on what the Bruins do this spring in the post season. It's so darn hard going right to final and last season,{MAYBE} Bruins were fortunate that teams like TB, Caps and Pens were all knocked out albeit the Bruins still had to beat the teams that pulled off upsets in 1st and 2nd RD.. If Bruins lose in 1st Round, I wont be surprised if Sweeney fires Cassidy. If Bruins wins a round or better, I think he's safe for another season. But I guess thats about all we can do, predict what might happen. Maybe he'll be fired next week and Gallant brought in before some other team nabs the coach cause I believe he's a fine coach, a players coach..

Thanks brother but all seems fine now..I heard same thing about Google Chrome or Chromebook but gotta say, this is by far the fastest laptop I have ever used. Not owned but used. Not sure how long it'll last but so far so good. Most trouble I have is wondering where to put all the words and chords to country and rock songs I download. There's really no such thing as offline, even documents are online BUT protected under Google drive..Starting to get more used to it now. I'm forever looking for new material in the music world as I'm playing quite alot lately. Not sure how long it'll last cause of back cause I freaking hate sitting and playing guitar, really hate it.. And really happy to hear Horton's back problems have subsided. Hope for his sake and his family, it remains that way.
