Disgusting game but typical of Spain - more than 1000 passes but to no real purpose until near the end when they desperately took shots at the Russian goal. But it's hard to beat a 5 - 5 defence. The Russian goalie played well on those 5 or 6 good saves. As for Russia, they were going for a draw...

It's a complicated event. Tomorrow I can tie in what the groups are from a JJD catalogue Terry

I had the same confusion about the 60th Royal Americans so I asked JJD I noticed some of the labels on the boxes for these figures say Plains of Abraham and some say Raid On St. Francis? I don't know of any connection the 60th had with St. Francis? I'm getting the 60th as they were beside...

I don't know why Andy used the commemorate D-Day reason. I don't recall K&C ever before delaying Dispatches for a few days to commemorate a specific date. And there were no dropped hints or teasers suggesting a D-Day release was coming as K&C often does. In any case, he was just behind schedule...

What does USPS do to re-used flat rate boxes mailed from Canada. As far as I know - nothing. I just black out or cover the US markings with an address sticker and put on Canadian postage and send the package to wherever it must go including to the USA. Terry

The west coast of Canada has lots of old growth forest with trees several times the size of the ones in the Teutobergerwald. Photos do not capture the size like seeing them in person Terry

There is still some old growth in the Teutobergerwald Terry

Lots of umbrellas - Rain or Shine

On the "no goal" call due to goalltender interference I ffound what I think is the best film. It shows the play close up from 4 different angles. I watched it several times at regular speed. slo-mo and frame by frame. It is very clear that when the Vegas player cut in around the top of the...

Bowman had a big advantage - he got the choice of French Canadian players. I go back to the Leaf Stanley Cup winners of 1962. Quite a different game. As for baseball I was a big fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers and later of Bill James sabermetrics The NHL allowed a strong expansion draft and the...

a coach who understood NHL hockey in the modern era: play four capable lines built around excellent goaltending and fast, mobile puck clearing defensemen. Youre analysis of Hockey in Las Vegas reminds me of Moneyball and the Oakland A's Terry

It's only a matter of time until they find a 7 footer with goalie skills and he will play the entire game on his knees {sm2} Terry

Flopping started coming into fashion almost 20 years ago and virtually every NHL goalie has that style today. And with good reason. Goalies are much bigger, equipment is much bigger and lighter and goalies are in better condition and stamina so they can go down and get up. 15 years ago it was...

The storming back in the 2nd half of the game and all those shots were partly due to 6 Leaf penalties including a 2 man disadvantage vs only one penalty to Boston. It's not Andersens fault the puck "hit" him so many times - but there were also several good saves. Andersen got the first star...

Toronto is getting a early Spring storm which started Friday night and ends Monday. We got snow, plenty of ice pellets and freezing rain. Can't drive well on it - there have been hundreds of accidents, mostly single vehicles sliding off the roads. City warning not to park under trees or on...

An ONTOS would be a great AFV to have in a collection of Vietnam. I'm in for one "The Thing" Terry

Frank There are several reasons why flag bearers and drummers can become high priced. But no one has mentioned the situation of the vendor who started collecting several regiments of NAPs cherry picking the 6-10 figures he liked most from each regiment. Of course the flag bearer, drummer and...

You guys in NY and Boston are getting Canadian Spring weather and then some courtesy of storms coming from Denver and nor'easters. Can't even blame cold weather and snow storms from Canada - we've hardly had any cold or snow this winter and none for over a month. Weird weather. ^&confuse Terry

Most if not all of the half tracks used by the British Commonwealth countries including Canada were M5 versions built in Canada by International Harvester and were similar but not identical to the US M3 built by White. The M5 and M3 shared drive train and wheel parts but one big difference was...
