you can also go to the fan zone on gohabs.com ,under wallpapers, there is a beautiful photo of Kovalev nailing Tucker. I can't get enough of that photo. Many players, including Tucker have cottages in Muskoka. I play summer hockey in Bracebridge and occasionally see them at the rink. If I see him, I'd like to mention the hit, but I'll have to come up with the proper way to do it, so he doesn't kick my 44 year old ass ...

You never know where you're going to bump into players, or some connection to them. I was in a little hut on a wharf in Twillingate, Newfoundland a few years back ("Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour, all around the circle......."), and there were a million pictures of Dougie Gilmour. Apparently his mother is from there, and he visited off & on.
Everywhere you go in Yarmouth, NS, is a shrine to Jody Shelley, a local hero.

I had planned to visit there a few years ago but never ended up making it. Was it nice???

Twillingate is a lovely spot. Very small - about 2,000 people - but very spectacular scenery. You can see whales and icebergs from the shore. There are nice boat tours there too; an old friend/associate runs one, and took me out to an iceberg, close up. It was huge! And we were surrounded by whales. It was a surreal experience.
Isle aux Morte (Morts?) is on the south coast, near Port-aux-Basques, on the way to the Rose Blanche Lighthouse, right? I probably drove through there at least once.
You said you were a combination of French & Newfie, right? What a great mix! That explains a lot about you, MC! There is a small Acadian community in NL, around the Bay St. George area (near Port-au-Port).

LOL... what could that mean.. what could that mean???
The long time running joke in my family is.... French & Newfie's don't get along too well, therefore I must hate myself. LOL (the silly little buggers) LOL
