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

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
