Hey Catnip...tonight is your Thrashers against my Stars. If this was any year before I would be pretty confident about a win. But this year...... :no:

yep ill be watching, we havent played well of late so hopefully we can break out of it tonight. i went to two stars games over the holidays (against Philadelphia on the 29th and against Montreal on the 31st, both games were ties) and they dont seem like the same team that has been a powerhouse over the last few years. the game against montreal especially. they looked flat all night, they were a minute away from a 1-0 victory and montreal tied it up. then in overtime they had a 4 on 3 with about 45 seconds to go and they didnt take a single shot. should be a good game though.

well that sucks, 5 straight losses for atlanta. and now tampa bay is only 2 points back for the division lead and theyve been playing terrible of late. the thrashers didnt get key faceoffs tonight, partly because top faceoff man Marc Savard was out. they need to get things straightened out soon, the division lead is just about gone.

The Isles won because they did something smart for once.  They started Dipietro.  He's a good goalie and needs experience before he'll be great.

Are you insane. Garth Snow helped the isles win those 6 straight games. DP isn't that good sometimes he annoys me by his stupid immature play. :yes:

DP didn't play that well tonight his team balled him out. I guess you didn't even watch the game.

Garth Snow is a backup goalie on any team in the NHL. He's not a star and is not the reason they won 6 straight. It's defensemen like Adrian Aucoin that grind out the victories for the Isles. DP is the future of netminding in long island. The Isles have done so many idiotic things like dealing Luongo. They need to face the fact. DP will be their starter and they need to start working him in.

Yes, but DP really needs to step up his game... But, then again, he does need more starts to do that. So it's not really going to be pretty either way.

It's hard to step up your game when you're not playing like you said. The Isles also need to re-work their line up with less guys like Yashin and more like Aucoin. They've got too much salary in one guy they need to spread it out on a few decent players rather than one star.

Yes, but there's pretty much no one willing to take Yashin on the current market with his large contract and underpreforming seasons.

Who does that sound like? Does the name Jagr mean anything to you? Two very under achieving players. Sad though because they both have so much talent but can't use it in the trap style of today.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
