as much as experience matters (not being sarcastic), how long have the leafs been around? and when was their last cup? Im not trying to flame and i wont even attempt to argue any counterpoint as i am 100% noob in hockey other than actually playing the sport myself. And also toronto is probably regret not picking up a backup goalie.

EDIT: Didanyone see or read about what Don CHerry said about THe bertuzzi thing? I love don cherry.

Atlanta with the 1-0 victory over Carolina in OT. We're 8 points behind the NY Islanders for the final playoff spot with 9 games to go. its gonna take a miracle, but it could happen.

Speaking of miracles and overtime. The leafs came back from a 4 goal deficit to beat Buffalo in overtime. Mogilny got his 1,000th point (and 1,001 I think too).

The Leafs haven't won, true. But look at the last few cup champs. They've all been experienced.

Did Toronto?

They got farther than them for sure.

Distance means nothing. It's the end result that everyone remembers. And guess what, they lost. Granted my Leafs lose to but I'm fine with that. We have a young defense core that lacks experience. So yes we lost too. :p

P.S. I'm not trying to argue with you guys I'm just trying to point out that experience matters.

Toronto has not been a good playoff team these past few years.. *Remembers the series with them and the devils*

For sure Toronto has not been stellar in the playoffs. I'm not going to argue that. All I can say is losing to a team like NJ, a champion, ain't so bad. I'm still hoping that this year will be it for us.

Yes, experience matters to some extent, but the fact of the matter is your Leafs lost, too. You can't justify them losing based on their lack of experience.

But yet I can. Our young defensive core tends to choke. :p

@ Boffa: Yes I agree we should have snagged a backup. Also I think the chances of Edmonton making it are quite good. They've won some key games and are picking it up at the most important time.

I don't think that that was fair...(for Bleak) :crazy:

While I don't think that it was an attempt to injure, I do think you need to be more careful with your stick than that.

The suspension does seem a bit extreme compared to the Moose's two games for an intentional spearing. I guess they want to give him the chance to retire without dishonour.

i think Belak took advantage of a fall to swing his stick... i know what its like cause i used to play hockey but the way he swung that stick was more than just a balancing measure

i dont think he meant to get vaannanen in the face though, probably tried to give him a chop on the stick or hands

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
