It's refreshing to watch Nino work the puck against the boards with two defenders pestering him and he's the one that comes out with the puck. I grunt and moan the most watching our players go into a scrum against the boards and give the puck away! The best teams out there have guys that go into the pile and come out with the puck. With that said the wife and I have tickets for Hockey Day Minnesota on Saturday, starting with tickets 6 rows up at the Gophers game, and then hustle over to the X 4 rows up center ice on the penalty box side!! Its gonna be a great day!

After that ugliness against Ottawa they really need to thump the oilers. I think if the boys can say in 8th or 9th until we get healthy we are in good shape. Sounds like Parise is skating again so hopefully not too much longer. Been waiting forest to see Granlund and Parise together, might actually happen.

Yep Fontaine was a great find, wasn't sure about him coming out of college because of his size but he's been awesome, the perfect depth player who can contribute and play on any line.

Remember a few years back when Koivu would get hurt and we would totally collapse, now him and Parise are out and we are doing ok, gotta love how far this team has come in a short time. Heck even Heatley is starting to look ok out there.

Whoa now, let's not get carried away with Heatley praise wink

I don't know if it was just Yeo going off on the guys that one game a couple weeks ago or what, but this looks like a different team from the one that lost 7 in a row.

Fontaine's gritty goals have been awesome! And it looks like Heatly is actually having fun out there setting up plays. He may not be what he once was, but he may be finding a style that could keep him in the league for a few more years (hopefully with the Jets or Oilers). He sees the ice well and has a lot of experience that could help Zucker grow some more. I'm not saying we'll make the playoffs, but e team has been fun to watch this month. They just gotta keep it going and find the chemistry when the IR guys return.

PHO has 3 games at hand. Really, if they win all those we are down 2 pts to them. I give us a 50/50 shot, which is far below what I would have given us to begin the year.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Yeo in the offseason if we make it.

seems as though most teams around us have games at hand, but the way PHO is playing, they may only go 1-1-1 at best. the game against dallas is huge for the wild to win in regulation tomorrow.

Well we play the flames on Feb 1. They're out of it. Let's see what they do. There's kind of a trend right now of the teams at the bottom of the standings trading and signing for fighters, maybe this is always the case? I suppose it's to fill seats and keep payroll down but they can still take runs at our players.

That definitely could be what the intention is. We've all seen teams give up in the past and just go try to make games "interesting" for casual fans.

On the other hand, they could just be trading away players of value for picks and what ever players the other team needs off their roster. These are usually guys that have more value in fighting than playing. Unfortunately for that type of player, that role is diminishing in the NHL which is why they are being packaged into trades to rebuilding teams.

That int penalty on El Nino to end the 1st was about as weak as it gets. Between that and the Stars repeatedly lifting opponents sticks into their own faces, we completely unraveled and never got it back together. Terrible.

I don't even think the Nino penalty was the worst of the night, as bad as it was (ant it was terrible). The high stick on...ahh, I can't remember who it was, might have been Fontaine...earlier was worse. Clearly a follow through on playing the puck. When Dallas was in MN, Brodin got clipped on the exact same kind of play and got his nose remodeled and it wasn't a penalty.

I think last night's game is what you get with a lot of kids on the roster. Things go sideways early and they can never get back on track. Get frustrated, try to do too much... It happens. Not going to panic about it as much as I loathe losing to Dallas.

I also think you can chalk this up to the whole league taking a trip through the Bermuda Triangle last night. The Ducks lose at home to the Jets, Columbus beats LA, the Leafs beat Colorado, and the Devils absolutely throttle St. Louis... Weird, weird night.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
