I don't mind slow starts...I can appreciate the slow build (The Wire, Breaking Bad excel at it) it was just blah the storyline didn't grab me is all

the storyline was boring..the scalping took a whole second..throat slitting a whole second ..you're acting like it was action packed when there was mainly two action sequences

in that case I really really hope the EU crash and burns

Saw the first ep and was bored out of my mind

so which country are you a dual citizen of?

LMAO, dude, you can hold as many passports as you want but it doesn't make you a citizen of said country

If Breaking Bad is weak I wonder which shows you find to be strong I put Breaking Bad up there with The Wire and The Shield

and its not your sovereignty at stake wyly

you don't live in the countries who will be sacrificing its sovereignty you, nor I have that choice..they do

that is because his opponents were terrible...Harper is a MENSA member compared to them

It started off with the Americans in the NHL home office not giving the NHL a night off during the Canadian thanksgiving ...in fact 2 Canadian teams were playing in the U.S on thanksgiving day..but ohhhhh they have to give the NHL a day off during the American thanksgiving.. 60 % of nhl players are CANADIAN and yet they have to celebrate the American thanksgiving what the fuck is up with that? It seems like the Americans who run the NHL don't respect their main supporters it pisses me off

Yes, its going to happen...if its not the EU its going to be the US or even China that brings on a world recession again The writing is on the wall..lets face it right now than delay the inevitable These EU countries will be giving up their sovereignty ... you do not live in those countries so of course you don't care if their sovereignty is trampled but I do

Mcguinty's green energy has been a disaster in billions of dollars wasted

I don't know what to think about this...Caps started off very strong and then it kind of went downhill just before Boudreau sat OV down during overtime...after that it kind of looked like Ovechkin gave up..he's making around 9 million I think and he just gave up on his coach OV is not a leader..it was a big mistake making him the Captain...he needs to be let loose without the responsibilities a captain gets I like Dale Hunter..one of the best coaches of all time in the OHL..love to see OV quit playing for him! if OV doesn't get it going Crosby will be up by his points total by christmas I feel bad for Boudreau but hopefully he goes somewhere! Also Carolina coach Paul Maurice was fired too and Kirk Muller! is the new coach ... bad day for NHL coaches http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2011/11/28/sp-nhl-capitals-boudreau.html Tuned out by his players, coach Bruce Boudreau was fired by the Washington Capitals on Monday after winning 200 games faster than any coach in modern NHL history but stumbling regularly in the playoffs despite a talent-laden lineup featuring two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin. Boudreau was replaced by former Capitals captain Dale Hunter, who was greeted by loud cheers from more than 100 fans when he skated onto the ice at Monday's practice. Hunter, never before a coach in the NHL, will make his debut behind the bench Tuesday night when Washington hosts the St. Louis Blues to begin a three-game homestand. "This was simply a case of the players were no longer responding to Bruce. When you see that, as much as you don't want to make a change, you have to make a change," general manager George McPhee said. "Bruce came in here and emptied the tank. He gave it everything he could and did a really good job, but the tank was empty," McPhee added. "When that happens, you get a new coach, where the tank is full and see if it makes a difference." Hired four years ago on Thanksgiving Day, Boudreau went 201-88-40 in the regular season but 17-20 in the playoffs — exiting in the first or second round each time. This season he tried a new approach, emphasizing accountability and the willingness to bench his star players — team captain Ovechkin included — as punishment for subpar performances. The Capitals started 7-0 — a franchise record for consecutive wins to begin a season — but have since slumped badly. They have dropped six of their past eight games, including a 5-1 loss Saturday night to a Buffalo Sabres team missing nine regular players. Ovechkin has only one goal in the last eight games. "I don't think this has anything to do with Alex Ovechkin," said McPhee, noting that the team's highest-paid player will remain its captain. "I think it's got everything to do with this team not playing well." The 51-year-old Hunter played for the Capitals from 1987-99, the last five seasons as captain, and is one of four players to have his jersey number retired by the franchise. A banner with Hunter wearing his red No. 32 hangs on a wall behind one end of the ice where the Capitals practice. He stood in a nearby corner of the rink for one part of Monday's session. "Obviously Dale was an intelligent player. He had talent and he was tough," McPhee said. "And he was downright mean sometimes." Hunter played 19 NHL seasons and is the only player in league history with 1,000 points and 3,000 penalty minutes. His career total of 3,563 penalty minutes ranks second all-time. Hunter has coached the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League for 11 seasons, compiling a 451-189-23-24 record. He became the fastest coach in OHL history to reach 300 and 400 career wins. Like Boudreau, who was promoted from Washington's minor league affiliate in the AHL to replace Glen Hanlon, Hunter is getting his first NHL coaching job in Washington. "Coaching's coaching, and he's been coaching at a good level and at a high level," McPhee said. "The same questions were asked of Bruce when he came here, and he had an outstanding record." Boudreau turned around a moribund franchise when he was hired in 2007, leading the Capitals to the first of four consecutive Southeast Division titles and winning the league's coach of the year award in 2008. Nicknamed "Gabby" for his gift of gab, he bought an offensive philosophy that meshed well with Ovechkin and the team's other "young guns" such as Alexander Semin and Mike Green, but he was never able to get Washington deep into the playoffs. Boudreau had the team adopt a more defensive mindset during a losing streak last season, but it failed to pay dividends in the spring. The Capitals were swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round of the post-season. Boudreau's assistant coaches — Dean Evason, Bob Woods and Blaine Forsythe — will remain in their posts under Hunter. McPhee said he began talking to Hunter a week ago about the possibility of returning to the Capitals. On Monday morning at 6:15 a.m., McPhee met with Boudreau and delivered the news. Now the team hopes its play will improve. "Sometimes it's like having the same teacher for five years. How would you have liked to do that in high school? It's hard sometimes," McPhee said. "So you make the change and hope that a new voice and a new way of doing things and a new focus gets the best out of these players."

Use it or lose it Topaz, U.K is our brother, we share the same mother (the queen) so of course they should be helping us Why is this even a topic?

Politicians who have provincial baggage should never run for federal leadership of any party Bob Rae though looks competent right now will always be remembered for wrecking Ontario Dalton Mcguinty will be remembered for his massive Ontario deficit How can you win federally with their records? especially in voter rich Ontario which decides who wins?

God I'd rather vote for Dion and Ignatieff than Mcguinty as federal leader we want the liberal party to evolve not go back to the same old men politics we need someone young who GETS US

Isn't it obvious? I just have to LOL again at the notion that the NHL would survive without Canada.. if its not obvious enough 60 % of NHL players are Canadian and a good chunk of 2010-2011 gate revenue is from the 6 Canadian teams we own hockey, you just host the teams so our players can make millions playing it

I hope the countries avoid this like the plague and say NO

Look who he was up against...Batshit crazy Hudak and that boring woman NDP leader

I think Bob Rae is more likable now than he was when he was Premier of Ontario as the NDP ...maybe it is because he is older and more experienced? I would never vote for my Lib MP if Mcguinty was federal leader of the Liberals ..but I did vote for my LIB MP provincially cause I wasn't given much choice between Hudak and Horwath (whatever her name is) Whoever said the Libs were dead are idiots, they are one of the most successful political parties in the world never count them out..they are just in a down period Harper has 4 years to screw up big time and lose voters...which is what will happen if he keeps conducting his party as he has been doing (during question period...rewarding his crooked politicians)

just had to bump this

cons are centre? their policies on marijuanna are far right as is their military aspirations and republican style union busting

So then we have Iran, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan Russia, China in a war confrontation with Israel and NATO nobody wants that

what is with cons and them thinkin Iran is gonna be the first to attack?? that would definitely jeapordize their nuclear project .. Iran does NOT want war NATO does
