Neowin's NHL Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

i know... i'm just saying, as a die hard avs fan it is my duty to fire back at your comment.. but it is common sense that an OT win is not really OWNING.

even as a Habs fan, if we beat the leafs in OT i wouldnt be too enthusiastic, id be more like "F__K YA WE WON!!! but barely :("

haha the baby in atlanta got benched. :yes:

niitty got us in first. :woot:

what about those crappy refs in colorado. must have woke up just in time to give the game away. :angry:

i didn't see the konowalchuk play but i did see foote's. it made me cringe but i don't think the refs gave the game away, they were penalties that needed to be called. 3 of yzerman's teeth were damaged and 1 was knocked out. with 1.5 seconds left, you don't need to lift someone's stick. there isn't enough time for him to get a shot off even if he did get the puck. a stupid play and a costly mistake by foote but i think the league will review it and suspend him, intentional or not. next game is going to be a great one, can't wait. :)

Yes, the refs definitely were letting far too much slide in the Avs-Red Wings game. I saw at least 3 penalties on the Avs that were far more severe than anything Konowalchuk did, and at least 2 on the Red Wings, too. That last penalty was rightly called, though.

The referees have been a horendous issue of late. Far too many missed calls. The two ref system was suppose to eliminate this problem but it hasn't. Maybe we should take one zebra off the ice and put him up in the box and call penalties from the box. Just a thought, what you guys say?

Don't get to excited because the chances of there being a season next year is slim to nill. :(

Watching NHL2Night the other day, they were closing out the show and Butchigross asked Barry Melrose about that 2005 All-Star game, asking if will be played in 2005, he answered YES. There are not to many columnists/commentators/analysts that I believe or trust in what they say, but Melrose I do, he is the best sports analyst in all sports. So if he thinks it will be there, i am going to believe him, maybe he sees something or knows something else. Lets be possitive, we all want hockey next season, I wont come back to it if they strike.

Keep dreaming dude. Melrose is not near the best analysist out there so don't count on the league and the NHLPA to resolve their issues.

Melrose is quite possibly one of the worst analysists out there, IMO...

I didn't realize how crappy the All-Star game is going to be until I saw the skills competition today. Talk about a snooze... Plus, there are very few 'big names' and the goalies didn't look too hot, either.

The All Star game always sucks. Welcome to reality.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
