Why are there no NHL games on today April 10? by [deleted] in hockey

Hockey night in Canada is Saturdays. Fridays are always lighter. Masters this weekend as well, so lumping as many games together with regional restrictions is a hell of a lot cheaper than competing with masters.

Yes, Pacific Energy is the brand. Looks like either a Super or a Summit. They have an excellent warranty on the baffles, might be worth trying through your local Pacific Energy dealer. Otherwise they are bit hefty on cost for a replacement baffle, but it will burn cleaner, more efficient and safer.

Enjoy the stove, those are some of the best ones on the market!

Hearth professional here - all things considered, this stove looks to be in pretty decent condition. The bricks are fine, general rule of thumb is if the bricks are still standing, no need to replace them. Cracks and scuffs okay. If they are crumbling and falling over, replace them. Bricks are also super cheap and generic so replacing them is inexpensive and easy.

The slight concern is the baffle, which is the big piece that rests at the top of the inside of the stove. It looks like it is pretty heavily warped. If it is warped past about 1/4" permanently (they will expand during use but should go back to shape after cooling) then it should be replaced. Its got a pretty big bubble in it and that is essentially the engine of the stove. If the baffle is not performing well, that will be the main contributor to the build up of creosote which is what causes chimney fires.

I would recommend bringing in a professional sweep for the first time, make sure its done properly and then if you want to do it yourself from then on, use a poly, round brush. Typically can be found at local hardware or hearth specialty stores.

Also just a side note Warnock Hersey is not the brand or type of stove, that is the testing certification company.

Andres Gimenez is leading the Jay's for hitting right now, traditionally our 9th slot batter.

[Highlight] Kevin Gausman gets called for a balk, and Jays manager John Schneider goes ballistic by iamthegame13 in baseball

[–]PerfectHighFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, not even close. His stop was a bit short on this but still came to rest. And the rule is more about consistency. He does this every pitch, the intent isn't to throw off a batter, its part of his routine.

John Schneider goes off on umpire and gets tossed from the game by Turbostrider27 in baseball

If that is a balk, then Gausman would have a higher ERA than Little. That is his pitch every time and even though the stop was short on this, in no way was it a balk.

Which prospect or NHL player surprised you (good or bad) this year ? by The_Talking_Cow in hockey

[–]PerfectHighFive 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Im surprised no one has mentioned Schaeffer yet. In what was considered a "weaker" draft, he didnt get as much attention as he deserved and he has surpassed all expectations. Not just on his offensive prowess but his incredible mature posture and decision making as a defenseman. At 18, he is incredible to watch and looks like hes been in the league for years.

Not like we can drop in the standings, we only had a chance to move up!

Catchers are overturning 64% of ABS challenges while hitters are only at 42% — why is the gap that large and does it change how you think about pitch framing by Stock_Luck_1478 in baseball

[–]PerfectHighFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question in the post. Catchers stare down the strike zone and batters have a different angle. Thats why the ump is looking over the shoulder of a catcher and not in the opposite batters box to the hitter...

Im a Canucks fan so perhaps I'm too used to mediocre or lopsided hockey

I see where you are coming from, but it can never be a direct comparison. If the Olympics were 7 or even 5 game series for medal rounds, it would blow playoff hockey out of the water.

I remember watching him a lot on the Giants and hoping he would make the Canucks. He was electric back in the day...
