So what are your predictions this year?

What I expect to see this season:

  • Buffalo vs. San Jose in the cup final.
  • Leafs making the playoffs, barely
  • Winnipeg fans showing the league they should of NEVER left!
  • 3+ 50 goal scorers (Perry, Stamkos, and a surprise player)
  • This will Brodeurs last season
  • The Jagr experiment will fail
  • Philly will regret trading Carter and Richards

What about the rest of you?

habs last chance to take the division (eff boston) cause after this year the redwings will be in that division with boston moving out and it's not going to be easy then...

i really doubt perry will score fifty again though, as much as i love him.

My prediction is Washington finally makes the cup final.

I've never even liked them but I think this is their year.

This might be the first year I cheer for Montreal because Boston is my 2nd most hated team now (besides Chicago of course). I actually hope MTL wins the East :p

Going to be a good year although I think the Canucks are going to have a slow start, we have a lot of injuries.

Watching ESPN Sports Reporters on TSN and some fool thinks NHL should ban fighting because three enforcers died this summer. Why don't we ban all physical contact and call it a day. I wouldn't be surprised if you are to look at the number of concussions, 75% or greater were caused by a hit and not from a fight.

This is going to be an 'ahem' interesting season for the avs. It could either go very wrong or Sacco and Sherman could turn out to be absolute geniuses.

I'm also picking Washington to make the finals, along with LA.

Oh and the avs will make the playoffs. :p

doubt it, but biases aside, i actually beleive montreal is this country's best hope at it.

They aren't any better than last year, but if they have Markov for most of the season that will be an improvement.

I hope they can take out Boston this year if they meet in the playoffs again :)

there was nothing wrong with last years team, it was the same team that made that run 2 years ago (with a better goalie). the problem was they faced boston with only 2 starting d-men from their original roster... they had injury problems up the ass last year. cammi was gone for six weeks, gionta missed time. the only healthy hab was gomer... and he did well /s

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
