Morrissey has regressed and it looks like his confidence is shot when you watch him play. Hopefully he can regain his game over the course of this season. Still young and still early to panic, but he is definitely struggling.

Also of note, Bogosian has yet to play a game this year. Even if Armia is a complete bust, early evidence say the Jets won this trade in a land slide.

Sometimes the refs really are right....

Tough week with mbrg having the best week with 3 correct picks, everyone else was 2 or less. Blueandgold is still in the lead with 50 correct picks, saskbluefan nipping at his heels with 49 and biggjay in 3rd with 46.

If an OC has inspirations of being a HC, maybe that will actually draw them here. If you look at the history of this club in the last few years, whoever get promoted on an "interim" basis automatically gets the gig in the off season. If O'Shea gets fired mid season, he'd have a 50/50 shot of becoming HC.

Lets not forget that Folik's wife was reportedly not happy in Winnipeg either. Even at the same money and contract length, chances are he wasn't re-signing here anyway.

73. Think his political days are done

I think the question that needs to be answered is does his coaching style still fit in today's NHL. Even if he does turn things around in Columbus and makes them into a winner, I wouldn't want him representing and being the face of my franchise.

This is really just going in circles now. Election over. Thread over.

Today is the day that Marty goes back to the Future...... Where are my self adjusting jackets? My flying cars? My hover boards? Where is Jaws 19 and the abolishment of lawyers? It was all just a lie, wasn't it?

I'd guess the happiest people with this are the media. A whole new season of sound bites.

So they get Torts as a coach AND they give up a 3rd round pic. Just gets worse and worse.

We play in Columbus Oct 31. Should be fun.

I can't believe anyone would hire Tortorella....

5 - 0 for Kansas City after 2 innings. Not a good start at all...

I know nothing about Kenny, but as you can see from some of the posters here, there are quite a few people who think Harper was excellent, and a great Prime MInister. Therefore, they will probably also think Jason Kenny is acceptable. I don't think we'll be seeing another PM from Alberta for quite a while. I agree. Today's young people are quite different from their boomer parents, and face a much more difficult, uncertain future. I heard an interview this am saying that the Liberals espouse proportional representation. I hope they bring it in. Too many people are unrepresented under the current system. The most obvious thing to keep in mind is the sheer volume of immigrants now compared to then and how society is so much more multi-cultural and, therefore, living life differently and expecting different things. It's a completely different landscape now, and today's PM has to understand and celebrate that. I think JPTs first speech, last night, hinted that he can be that guy... Canada has always been known for and relied on immigrants and multi cultural-ism, I don't think this is anything new. The details and specific issues may change but the overall patterns generally stay the same and repeat. The longer you are around, the more you see that.

I believe GBill already agreed / admitted / said that it was just a theory. Can we get back to the topic at hand instead of arguing semantics?

I can accept that as an excuse for the first drive or two, but not the first half.

The only wasted vote is the one that isn't made. Even a spoiled ballot is better then not exercising your right to vote.

Saskbluefan has closed the gap on Blueandgold down to 1 correct pick. 1st place - Blueandgold (48) 2nd place - Saskbluefan (47) 3rd place - bigg jay (44) Leader board can be seen here: http://morningbigblue.com/community/index.php?app=pickems&do=leaderboard&pid=6&wid=87 This weeks picks have to be in by Friday @ 6PM.

I'm glad Miller stood his ground on this one, and I'm also a huge Jets fan and season ticket holder. The Heritage Classic within weeks of the Grey Cup would have had an affect on Grey Cup sales. We get one Grey Cup every 10 years. You don't put it at risk for a rental fee on the stadium.

This is a horrible horrible thing.
