so i have all these aeroplan miles... try to book a flight, of course there's no availability for the return flight. so i try to book the outgoing flight only, won't let me book a one way trip to that destination.

it's just a wonderfully flexible program.

I collected airmiles for years.

I was never once, in about 10 years, able to book a flight from Toronto to Florida, except flights that were ridiculous connections, or cost more in airmiles than the cash/merchandise value of the airmiles.

I had / have aeroplan miles. Cashed them in a few year's back for debit credit cards... think they sent me like $8k worth of cards. Too many restrictions or additional costs you have to fork up when using those miles, otherwise.

Glad I don't travel that much for work anymore.

And the only seats you could get were in the last row and couldn't recline?

At least now you can collect cash miles; however the sneaky (frank)ers won't let you transfer your existing miles to a cash balance...

You strike me as a recliner.

A solid ten minutes before Octagon's hockey camp session is set to get underway, Jiri Sekac gets the sheet to himself. He saunters down to secure the nets, not wanting to wait for targets. His blades cut the sounds of NHL strides. His shot blisters off the crossbar at NHL speed, transferred from wrist to stick-tape with the ease you expect from an NHL sniper. He dangles, smoothly and precisely. He smiles when Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin steps on the ice, as the two exchange saucers and bullet-paced one-timers before the heavy lifting of intense drills play out over the next hour and a half.

Sekac takes on the drills with determination, aiming to perfect them. It's play, but for Sekac, it definitely looks like work. The others--prolific NHLers like Milan Michalek and Martin Havlat, Michael Frolik and P.A. Parenteau take the opportunity to catch their breath in between the high intensity drill circuits while Sekac hunches over his stick for a second before grabbing six or seven more pucks to shoot. There's a hunger there, and it speaks even louder than the impressive skillset he displays.

By the time these guys are done with this boot camp, the ice needs emergency surgery. Sekac is among the last to step off, no worse for wear.

Lost in all of this, the fact that a team actually needs to score 2 more goals in order to win that game.

So true. And when our team is losing games by scores of 2-1 that's a 200% increase in goals required. If our teams struggle can't score more than 0-2 goals per game than yeah you ARE gonna lose a poop ton of 1 goal games.
