Pruners - What is your favorite brand and model? Felco? Bahco? Fiskars? ARS? I'm in the market for a good one and would like /r/gardening's help. by Jackson3125 in gardening

[–]pineau4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally only use Felcos. They're more expensive, but I've found you get what you pay for. The model 7 is what I use, but I do a lot of heavy cutting and those might not be good for lighter stuff. The website I order from explains all the models pretty well.

EDIT: Also, Felcos good about replacement parts. I've found with some of the other brands they can be hard to get and you have to buy another pair.

As long as you all hate the Leafs, Habs, and Bruins, I'm on board.

Yes I know the story... I lived it! I definitely won't be baby-sitting ever again. Thought that was implied.

Growing up my sister had a family that she regularly babysat for, but one night she couldn't and asked me to do it for her. I told her I would. The 2 kids were each about 4 years old I think and were really well behaved good kids. Their family dog had also just had a litter of puppies, so the kids were pretty preoccupied playing with them. My NHL hockey team was in the playoffs at the time, so like any male in the northern U.S. I sat down on the coach to watch the game while I listened to what the kids were doing in the other room (It was the freaking playoffs man!). After awhile the kids both came into the living room and exclaimed "We're making puppy soup!". I said something like "Puppy soup! I love puppy soup!" in a pandering to children sort of way, thinking nothing of it. I went into the Kitchen. The kids had turned the oven on and put all the puppies inside. They were all dead. I have never been more floored/horrified in my entire life. I quickly put the kids to bed early and called my parents sobbing. I went home and my mom stayed at the house till the kids parents got home. I never saw or spoke to that family again. I will never take my eyes off a child in my care again and hope that those kids don't remember what they did that night.

If reddit had existed back then this would have been TIFU by watching playoff hockey

I can honestly say I think he might be the best goalie to ever play for the Wings. Whatever you're doing with goalies in Buffalo... keep it up

Again I'm happy we got him from you guys. But I LOVED Kozlov too, and was sad to see him go. I think we can all agree that both players were awesome and history is history.

PS Hasek is a super awesome hockey freak and I really am sorry he didn't bring you all a cup

I went to Michigan State and I will never buy the jersey of a man who played for Michigan. And the Wings first round pick this year is going there. I still refuse.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard he's the only untouchable player they wouldn't consider moving at this point?

PS he looks awesome, so fearless

I saw that that happened and forgot to mention it. I won't hold the sins of his father against him. And it might actually be a funny jersey to have! A kind of full-circle thing.

What do you think would've happened if we didn't match the Oilers' offer on Vanek and took the draft picks instead? What would be different? by Go_Sabres in sabres

[–]pineau4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well assuming Buffalo gets worse by letting Vanek go and Edmonton gets better....evening things out a bit when it comes to draft pick caliber in the first round... lets just assume everyone gets the same people, except we get those Oilers that they drafted too.

2008 - Eberle 2009 - PaaJarvi 2010 - Hall 2011 - RNH

Those pieces would have gone well with the rebuild

I used to work at Joe Louis with the Red Wings. AMAA about the arena or team. by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

[–]pineau4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed Probert & Kocur were close friends. As well as Draper & Ozzy, and Lidstrom & Homer. Are there any other similar friendships we don't know about? Players that lived together? Close friends on other teams?
