They need a goalie before they'll win though. Cloutier won't cut it.

Cloutier is fine this year. It takes a team to win a game, not just the goalie. That goes for any NHL team. Don't forget Hedberg too. He was an awesome steal! Just like Naslund! w00t.

Wings VS Thrashers... Whew... What'd you expect from the two highest scoring teams in the league? :D

that was an impressive showing by atlanta last night. sure they lost, but they earned a point in the standings and in the process showed yet again that they are ready to play with the big boys of the NHL. i cant wait for playoff time :D

I hope that the return of Heatley (whether it's in a month or playoff time) isn't a distraction for the team. I worry there will be mixed reactions towards him causing a team distraction. If they can accept that it was an accident and they welcome him back with open arms then watch out cause next year they'll be a team to be reckoned with. If not I fear they'll need to trade him and that would only hurt hockey in Atlanta.

Yep! I'm pretty good at picking the surprise teams... I picked the Canes in 2002, Lightning last year, and Atlanta this year (no joke on all three!)... Only thing is I thought that the Blue Jackets were going to be a bit better, too :laugh:

Anyways, glad to see Zetterberg is tearing it up right once he got back. Datsyuk and him are going to be amazing in the future -- Lidstrom, when he was going to buy a car with Zetterberg, called him the next Yzerman. I think he's right.

I would totally disagree with the Yzerman statement. Zetterberg is a very talented player for sure but Steve Yzerman is a leader like no other to ever play the game. He leads the wings, in national events he is the leader of Canada and so forth. Zetterberg may have the talent Yzerman had but at the moment it appears he will never be the leader Stevie Y is and was.

No, Zetterberg is an excellent leader from what we know. He's very wise with the puck, too. You've got to remember that Yzerman was pretty much in the same position as Zetterberg when he came (except he was drafted high, unlike Zetterberg) and he was given the 'C' rather quick... Then again, that was in the '80s. But people in Detroit really like him, as well as the coaching staff. I think with Lidstrom says that he'll be the next Yzerman that it really shows his support for him... If he didn't think that he wouldn't have said it. When you have someone like Lidstrom who trusts your talent and leadership I don't see where you can go wrong.

I never doubted his talent I said it's impossible to fill Yzerman's leadership shoes. How bout last year in the playoffs Yzerman played on what was dubbed (never confirmed) broken leg. That takes a certain type of talent that we have not seen from Zetterberg. He was hurt and took his time to get better. That's good no doubt but come playoff time Stevie never lets his team down. There has never been a player like him on the wings since Howe. I appreciate the fact that Lidstrom speaks highly of him but I don't think he meant it in the way your thinking. He meant it as in production, offensively and hopefully defensively, not in the leadership way. Yzerman is one in a million in terms of leadership. Lidstrom should not throw Zetterberg in Stevie's shadow. Look what it did to a man named Daigle. Zetterberg's a great talent but lets not count chickens before the eggs hatch.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
