i know there was already a season thread in general discussion, but it has since passed into oblivion, so heres an all new NHL thread made for the all new sporting arena. This years NHL season is the most exciting for me yet. i used to be a casual red wings fan, until the thrashers came along, then i started watching it a lot more, and now that they are doing well, it makes it even more fun to watch. its been a great season so far, and its barely 1/4 over, so heres the place to discuss everything hockey related.

while im at it, everyone go fill out an all star ballot here, and be sure to vote for ilya kovalchuk, hes soon to be, if not already, the best player in the game

Hey how is Heatly doing?

i havent heard much lately, last i heard his knee has been successfully repaired and his jaw is just about healed. he is in rehab now for his knee, and team doctors are saying thres a 50/50 chance that he may return in march or april for a playoff run, should there be one. im not really sure why hes on the all star ballot though.

bah, heatley shouldnt be able to play, should be in jail.

the snyder family chose not to press charges, so unless the DA wants to use Heatley as an example, which would make him/her a very unpopular DA, then having to live with the guilt of killing a friend and teammate is punishment enough

Well as of right now the flyers are number one in the league. I think they got a good chance this year as long as they dont choke in the playoffs like previous years. Ohh yea, and the penguins are last in the entire league as of now...gotta love it :D

The Flyers made a great move by getting ride of that piece of garbage Roman Cechmanek. So with Cechmanek gone I expect to see the Flyers go deep into the playoffs. As for the Penguins, they have crap offense but their young goalie Mark-Andre Fleury is a star in the making.

Roman isn't doing terrible, I mean the kings are at the top of their devision arent they? he is also second place for shutouts...

Yeah right he sucks. Cechmanek isn't going to be sticking around too long anyways, cause when the Kings get to the playoffs he will definatly be traded. He has never had a good playoff record u know. BMac has the right idea Cechmanek is useless garbage that's going to be kicked out by the Kings.

Too bad he can only play in 25 games per year otherwise Pittsberg might climb out of the basement.

GO RED WINGS!

Who'dve thought they'd be leading the league in goals when they were supposed to be one of the deepest defensive teams? And the amount of goals they have, too -- 104! Man! That's sweet :woot:

That game was awesome last night, especially since it was basically Grand Rapids playing and not Detroit. :laugh:

make my only good 'pick' even better. What the hell happened with he senators? But the wild... well i guess they could be doing better.

Got to agree w/ you. It seemed like the senators have started to relax a bit after they got a new owner for their brankrupt team. The Wilds...errmmm well they have too many rookies... and if they don't get into the play-offs this season...the fans would be expecting more from their expansion team.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
