Neowin's NHL Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Hope for the Thrashers like I hope for my Ducks. Anaheim has to have the weakest remaining schedule in the league. They basically have to run the table, but they are playing some really bad teams. They should get 9-10 points in the next 5 games. I just need to them to make the playoffs, Giguere is playing well again and the team itself is stepping up. To bad it is with like 17 games left in the season. I will still watch the playoffs, but wont be as enthused. Plus I want to see the Kings get sweeped in the first round. As much as I hate them, I do give them credit for the job they are doing. It is amazing they still win with no goalie and no offense or defense. They prove heart goes a long way in hockey.

Gonchar sweepstakes.

Boston is rumoured to be offering Samsonov and Jillson + a pick

Toronto's package may now include Darcy Tucker + youth + a pick

Colorado's monster deal involing Olie the Goalie is likely not going to happen considering that Gonchar sat to prevent an injury while Kolzig played last night.

BOSTON (CP) - The Boston Bruins have won the Sergei Gonchar sweepstakes.

A source told The Canadian Press on Wednesday that the Washington Capitals have sent the star defenceman to Beantown in exchange for 21-year-old defenceman Shaone Morrisonn as well as a first- and second-round draft pick.

No one's going to trade for half of the great, but overpaid players they have. The next (and maybe only) player I can see going is Messier. The Red Wings had their eyes on him, in case you were wondering.

yeah, i heard that. i heard they also have interest in eric lindros, though i hope not to either of them. :x

we do need a center or two though. datsyuk and dandenault both went to the hospital last night. dandenault has a broken foot and i don't know what's wrong with datsyuk yet. draper going down too was another blow. :(

here, i'll finish the list for you...

Who in the blue hell would want Jagr? Or Lindros? Or as a prime example, Pablum Puree (Pavol Bure)? :p

    • 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.
