Yes, there's so much to be excited about! Now that the season is over (no playoffs, but we can't expect everything can we?).... I can't wait for next season! such a great foundation we have here. Just a few tweeks here and there! Need a separate site section, for "positive thinking" posters....all the criticism of negativity is upsetting me.

I could be wrong, but I think O'Shea is in the "these are professional athletes, it's their job to motivate themselves" group. I have no idea about whether that works or not.

what a completely horrible game that was. There's a difference between being optimistic about the team, and fooling yourself. two years ago I was surprised by what happened, but willing to wait and see. I've seen more than enough. Even the defence, which played well off and on, isn't really very good. the people that like O'Shea, continue to say that he's a good coach. Yet, not one of them have offered anything to support that. I don't see anything from this year, I mean nothing, that makes me think it'll be any better next year.

three stooges move!

Some people think the Saudi's are overreporting the amount of their reserves, which are verified by nobody.

Correct! if Obama didn't like Oil he wouldn't have approved drilling in the Arctic and off the East coast of the USA. cnn " he's a complete phoney. through and through.

could be a tune, or a bible verse.

What the heck, I'm in. Do we sing/keyboard " For Auld Lang Syne" at the end of the game? sniff.

are people going to do the chat during playoff games? hope so.

Hoping for westerman to get a sack or two, and bass to get to the one hundred tackles. and for more than fifteen yards passing in the first half. and for ricky ray to get out of the game unhurt.

had a girl over for a drink, she got snowed in with me.

told you.

no. the lyrics are "scuse me while I kiss the sky" in every universe. Hendrix was that good.

Israel had nothing to do with this. Not me saying it was intentional. It's the New York Times, amongst others. New York Times "KABUL, Afghanistan — The Doctors Without Borders hospital was among the most brightly lit buildings in Kunduz on the night a circling American gunship destroyed it. The rest of the northern Afghan city was mostly dark after days of fighting between the security forces and Taliban militants. But the hospital was keeping its lights on as doctors there were working, according to the group’s general director, Christopher Stokes. Spread across the hospital roof was a large white and red flag reading “Médecins Sans Frontières,” the group’s French name. On the afternoon before the strike, the fighting in the neighborhood had quieted enough for staff members to safely climb to the roof and lay out the markers identifying the building to any military aircraft flying over. The group had also sent the longitude and latitude coordinates of the hospital, for years the most important trauma center in that part of northern Afghanistan, to the United States military to remind it where not to attack during the fighting. Despite all that, and the protection afforded to war-zone hospitals by the Geneva Conventions, the hospital was gutted by an American military bombardment in the early hours of Oct. 3. The strikes occurred over an hour and 15 minutes and killed 30 people, including patients on operating tables and the wounded in their beds and wheelchairs. At a news conference in Kabul on Thursday, the international medical organization said that more than a month after the attack the United States military had yet to offer an explanation for why a clearly marked hospital was struck, other than to say it had been hit by mistake. “A mistake is quite hard to understand and believe at this stage,” Mr. Stokes said at the news conference. The organization shared more details of the attack and renewed its call for an independent investigation, which both the United States and Afghanistan have resisted so far. “From what we are seeing now, this action is illegal in the laws of war. You cannot do this. You cannot bomb a hospital.” As details continue to emerge that suggest that the military struck the target it intended to hit that day, a troubling question hangs over the various investigations into the attack: Did someone intentionally decide to fire on the hospital, whether because of the presence of wounded Taliban fighters there or for some other reason? You can look up a picture of the building, taken from the air. I did. It's by far the biggest building around, completely different in appearance than anything else, and I would say it would be difficult and unlikely to mistake it for anything else. By the wa two weeks later Saudi Arabia bombed an MSF hospital in Yemen.

thanks, good news.

defence looked disorganized at times, was one defenceman benched? offence looked high powered at times.... some of the guys seem to be shooting right at the goalie sometimes Buff...... It's so much fun watching that guy play, when he's on, He's the emperor of the ice. looks like a lot of the teams are actually pretty even..... and TSN radio and tv do a good job of covering the Jets games. Need to get the Chipmans to take over the bombers.

Maurice is one of the more eloquent coaches..... any pro sport. so far, he looks like a great choice as coach.

Did anyone take a look at the people in the cabinet? There are quite a few very high achievers, male female, and so on and so forth. Some really impressive resumes in there, not that that means they'll do anyting worthwhile.

can we try some substitute coaches while we're at it?

And yet there are people on this forum who opined that he was a bust or that he'd only be effective in limited snaps .. In case you're new here, there's a lot of morons around here... There *are* a lot of morons around here. I think you meant "morans"

what a fantastic goal! burmistrov stops instantly, loops around.... that guy has skills. wow.

KBF I agree that Bush was a war monger, and I Also agree that Obama is a war monger... at least I think that's what you meant.... good to agree with you about something.... MSF didnt stick that in about Israel bombing the peacekeepers, I did. Cause it's similar, they were given the coordinates, and bombed it anyway. The point is, it wasn't a mistake.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/doctors-without-borders-report-kunduz-hospital-bombing_563b408ee4b0307f2cac20dc?utm_hp_ref=canada&ir=Canada&section=canada&adsSiteOverride=ca The medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders released its internal report on Thursday about the October attack on its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. At least 30 people were killed in the airstrikes, led by U.S. forces, the report said. "Patients burned in their beds," it added, and "medical staff were decapitated and lost limbs." The organization found that "a patient in a wheelchair attempting to escape from the inpatient department ... was killed by shrapnel from a blast." Drs without borders say that the Americans were given the location and coordinates of the Hospital. Similar to Israelis bombing UN peacekeepers headquarters, which the Israelis had the coordinates for, in Lebanese invasion.

maybe the Leafs are getting better and playing not so well but winning with good plays late in the game....

Bjorn Lomborg? discredited a long time ago. Here are some people that disagree with Bjorn. Retired generals in the American military, two former secretaries of state of the USA, former director of the CIA , former Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel, and so on. http://www.psaonline.org/climateaction http://www.psaonline.org/climateaction
