Well you would be wrong, I've been exploring the cost of converting to a gas stove, as my electric one is nearing the end of it's life ...... now16 years old.

It's a matter of getting a ROI with everything involved to convert.

Looking at doing a reno that would involve moving the kitchen to the back of the house. If we go ahead with it, we'd probably pull a gas line in for a stove.

Aside from the reduced operating costs, a gas stove is just a much better tool than an electric one. Definitely do it.

is prock really a leafs fan or is he spatso just trolling you??

I think we've all established that prock and spatso are the same person

You don't have to sell me on gas stoves, had one for years when I lived in Europe. Far superior for cooking.

I don't know where you shop for appliances, but I've had pretty good luck with http://www.canadianappliance.ca/ as they will price match any of their competitors ...... bought washer and dry through them, as it would have been difficult to do cash and carry ........ remove the old ones, up and down stairs and such.

However, found a great deal on a Dishwasher (easy to install yourself) at Lowes, as they too will price match.

Go look at the habitat for humanity reStore. They don't have any steady stock, so you have to keep going to see if there's something you want, but the prices are insane, quality can be top notch, and the money goes to a good cause.

A lot of the stuff that winds up there was used in staging homes, and was never actually used.

That's a good idea, I'll definitely do that ...... great tip.

Look at this one: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-ki...SearchNavigationFlag=true

It's not gas, but a unit like that is easily several thousands of dollars.

Lately it hasn't looked like an issue. Ever since the pairings have been swapped up, everyone's looked really good. Carrick coming back was good too.

Babcock should definitely be winning coach of the year.

I think if the leafs make the playoffs he'll be a contender, but I think there will be a ton of contenders this year. there are tons of teams who I think are doing much better than anyone thought they would....

Ottawa, Toronto, Columbus, Edmonton, minny

and then there's the teams who are running away with the league....pitt, wash, chi

if the season ends today my money would be on torts

30th overall to a playoff spot, managing a team of rookies.
How do you top that?

Especially when you consider one of those rookies is a bust, reminiscent of Yakupov and two of the others are too small for the NHL. Mike doesn't really have a lot to work with.

It's not like we're trading spit.

You don't have to be disagreeable to disagree.

Thing is, they are old but have lots of good/great players.

Sens have the old thing down, but are lacking in the good/great player department.

going about this the wrong way

its okay to admit the Senators are a good team

they are.

The Leafs are good too, and are trending upwards.

The problem is the fans. spatso and d0pps are entering Stage I of the spring season with tons of optimism. The talk of playoffs has permeated the Ottawa atmosphere and fans drunkenly revel about the prospect of hoisting the first Stanley Cup ever. Stage II comes in a bit later when the final game of the season has been concluded. Sens fans will look at the standings and cheer as their team has made it again! They will mock their rivals for finishing lower in the standings - especially the Leafs and also revel in the fact that they have the best rookie in the league - this year, Patrik Laine (and next year White & Chabot).

Stage III starts in round 1 of the playoffs. Some luck & the team has managed to scrape a win but the fans applaud their team and bemoan the refs for terrible refereeing. Its an absolute travesty how other teams are getting away with giving microfractures to all of their star players. Finally, Stage IV is when the Senators are eliminated from the playoffs in humiliating fashion and Sens fans start bragging about how successful they are because they have such a great team but some bad luck has stopped them from getting to the promised land. It's OK though because they'll make it next year. And this time, Eugene Melnickel-and-dime will be willing to open the chequebook to attract star players like MacArthur and retain stars like Bobby Ryan. Every year is better than the last!!
