what a guy that koivu, and wow that save huet made, unbeleivable
Yes man yes! People here in Montreal don't really like Koivu that much because he's been here for 10 years and yet he only knows about 20 french words. Not to mention that the crowd here is hard on ppl with less than 80 points in aregular season.

About Huet, he did atleast 3 saves in the first game. He's good yet not the best and very lucky. I hope Murhpy continus to stay off Christobald's (Huet) back.

Raycroft played okay but I'm looking forward to Toskala taking charge.

The Leafs seem to alway suffer these types of defeats. If we enter the third period with a one goal lead then the game is as good as lost. :(

the leafs played good for the first 50 mins of the game. if they would have scored a couple of times on the pp, then they wouldn't have lost the game.

Can someone explain to me why the NHL would have interest in movement of Nashville to KANSAS CITY? Cant the team be moved to a more hockey-loving town like Hamilton? Winnipeg? or Quebec???

The southeast division also needs implosion. Carolina? Florida? Washington? Atlanta? Do these teams actually draw crowds? Tampa at least is in the top 5 in attendance each year...the other four are in the pooper.

Considering the NHL needs contraction, I say we disband Atlanta and Florida since they haven't won crap and dont have any superstars. Then move Washington to Hamilton and Carolina to either Winnipeg, Quebec, or Hartford.

Atlanta is a good team. I am not sure about their draw power in their city though. Other than that, Quebec could use another team, same with Winnipeg if possible. I could also see another team in the states, just not sure where... Seattle maybe?

14 games in one night and not one of them is shown in the UK. :no:

That is brutal. I wonder what the market for hockey is like up there? Do you think it would be able to get the viewers?

It is too bad though, because tonight Montreal vs Toronto! And of course Montreal had better win after that terrible performance that got them kicked out of the playoffs.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
