Welcome to the new look forum. This is what has caused all the downtime on the site over the last week or so but I believe we should be good to go now. There are still some things being slowly returned via a background install (to avoid any overloads on the server) but I don't think anything of note is missing. There are some new features on here that we'll discover as we go along. As you find new ones, feel free to post them here. A few that I'm aware of: - Embedding media - For tweets in particular, all you should have to do is copy/paste the URL inside the post. It should, within a second or two, convert to the actual tweet. That's better than having to convert to HTML to post tweets like in the past. This should work for YouTube videos and other media (Instagram, Vine, etc) as well. - Replying to partial messages - If you want to reply to only a certain part of a post, you can highlight that text and then a little 'Quote this' bubble will pop up. Click it and a reply will open up with only the part that you highlighted as the quoted text. - The PM system has changed. For starters, notifications are bit more visible - when I logged on I had a notification on the bottom right on the page, just a little bubble that popped up. There are a couple of other tidbits - if you're interested, click here. I'm sure there are many more but I'm in the middle of trying to figure out where things are in an entirely new admin panel. (I did figure out how to upload a certain smiley at least...I can't find a corresponding 'sarcasm off' one though...) If any of you have any questions/comments/feedback, feel free to post those. If you see anything that doesn't look quite right, let me know as soon as possible (and if you can, send a screenshot).

The entire USA team played like garbage. They scored 4 goals in the tournament. - 2 were in a meaningless game - 1 was put in Canada's own net by Jonathan Toews, and was scored with 2 minutes left in a game Canada led by 3 goals. Pure garbage time. - 1 was scored by Ryan McDonagh. So no US forward, not one, scored a meaningful goal in the tournament. But sure lets pile on Max who was given 4th line minutes

He's garbage. Not worthy of any kind of respect.

Yeah, maybe it is an idiotic thing to say, but I think like many people on here and in the fan base, I'm deeply pessimistic and very unhappy with the direction of the team after the Subban trade. At some point, the league is going to have to cope with the fact that the dominant thinking (Weber being better than Subban) and reasoning of the congnoscenti is killing the entertainment value of the sport. As for the Habs, I can't even feign enthusiasm for the upcoming year. I see what's going on down the road in Sunrise, and after 25 years of support, and the last five or six of following the team on a daily basis, I can barely justify being a bandwagon fan of this franchise. They're the Leafs, we just haven't come to grips with it. Treating Big Game Max like some kind of superstar is the first step. (Like the Leafs' fans with Sundin or Wendel Clark).
