Getting Geared
Let the countdown begin. Only 11 more days to the most awesomest day of the year. In anticipation a new background will be unveiled.
Holy Smokes
Since my last post about the Leafs the difference in their play is mind blowing. When I first posted they were on a 4 game losing streak. Now they are 6-1-1 since then. I'm just hoping they are going to continue their winning ways. I am fearful that they won't and will be streaky for the rest of the season. Winning enough games to miss the playoffs again. They are at a critical point now, just starting a 7 game road trip. They did however start on a positive note with a
4-0 win over Atlanta tonight. Toskala played well once again to hold Kovalchuk scoreless to record his 2nd shutout of the season.
Notes: Antropov had 3 helpers. Call the FD this guy is on FIRE!
Ponikarovsky had 2G and 1A after getting caught with his down.
Lehtonen shit the bed.

How the Mighty of Fallen
Well looks like I hit a nerve on that last post. But I am going to be like a politician and do what I want regardless of public opinion just because I can.
Arsenal got beat down today by Middlesbrough. Yes Arsenal and yes MIDDLESBROUGH. How awesome is that? Arsenal lost 2-1 for their first loss this season. Their loss and ManU's decisive 4-1 thrashing of Derby put ManU only one point behind the Gunners for top spot in the Premiership. I don't want to get too excited but it appears a repeat is in the making. That would be awesome.
Glory Glory ManUnited!!
In other news Bayer Leverkusen advanced out of the group stage of the UEFA Cup. They also won on Saturday in the Bundesliga with a 3-0 performance over Hansa Rostock. They are now in fourth and are only 1 point behind Hamburg for the final Champions League birth. Leverkusen is coming on strong.

Time for something new
Well I think everyone has come down from their Grey Cup high. It took some longer than others. Apparently Jordan was off his high when as soon as we went outside after the game. So now we can move on from the Grey Cup and leave that glorious experience behind and focus on more pressing issues, such as: What the hell is wrong with the Leafs?
The Leafs are once again at best mediocre this year. They are hovering around .500 and if it continues probably won't make the playoffs for the 3rd straight year. Here is what could help.
Not call your GM a mistake and regret you ever hired him midway through the season. That is always bad for morale.
Stop trading your draft picks away for washed up players who will play for the rest of the season then retire just because they want to end their careers in Toronto.
Actually draft someone with talent and use them.
Don't trade for a starting goalie so you can have two starters and change them every game. This makes them fear for their jobs and play shitty. Just trade Raycroft and be done with him.
Get some defencemen that know how to play defence.

2007 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS
Some Great Shots:
WOOO!!! The Riders won again. WOOO!!!
The game itself was pretty bad, Joseph couldnt throw at all. But hey who cares? I sure as hell don't. The Riders won and thats all that matters. I have never been so excited in my life, except maybe that time when I was Jessica Alba's lovemachine. But enough about my sexy body. Today is all about the Riders. The game was pretty close, it was mainly a defensive battle but the Riders prevailed. And all hell broke loose. I was running up and down Albert St. along with 5,000 other crazed and drunk fans. I was giving everbody I saw high-fives, weaving in and out of traffic. Best night of my life, except for those with Jessica Alba. Fuck I love this city and this team. GO RIDERS GO!! GREEN AND WHITE FOREVER!!!

Belated Tribute
Corporal Nicolas Beauchamp
Private Michel Jr. LévesqueI feel bad for not posting anything in regards to Remembrance Day and having just learnt of 2 more Canadian deaths in Afghanistan I needed to post something. I have also provided a link at the end of the post to the best tribute video I have seen so far.
While it is true that Canada is a world leader in efforts of peacekeeping and the promotion of peace, we as a nation, have a very strong and and significant military history. People tend to forget that these days. That is why Remembrance Day is so important and significant. It is a day when we as a nation gather to mourn and celebrate those who have risked everything for Canada. It is a day where we show them the respect they so rightfully deserve and should expect from us. Veterans don't go around flaunting their status as veterans, they go about their days quietly while we are oblivious to their experiences. On November 11th we gather to recognize these men and women for what they have done for us.
This is why I get so upset when people criticize our Armed Forces. Some people claim that Canada spends too much on its military. Yet I view it as the opposite. Canada needs to spend more. If we expect our military to carry out its current mission in Afghanistan and further missions, its personnel need the best equipment we can provide for them. They need to know that they have the equipment to perform any task asked of them. They need to be ready to respond to any situation that may arise in the future.
This is also why I get angry when people call for the immediately withdrawal of our forces from Afghanistan. Canadians need to show their support for the men and women in Afghanistan. Its true many of them may not want to be there, but not because they don't believe in what they are doing. They miss their families and loved ones and would rather be in Canada than in a foreign country for extended periods of times. But they are professionals. They volunteered to join the Canadian Forces, they knew what is expected of them. They also believe in what they are doing in Afghanistan. Canada's role has shifted away from combat towards more humanitarian efforts and to provide support for the Afghan National Army. Our troops know that what they are doing in Afghanistan is needed and they are providing an essential service. They just want the rest of the world but especially Canada to realize this as well.
