Neowin's NHL 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread


Recommended Posts

Preds just beat the Red Wings.

As I've already stated, the Wings suck when it comes to the Preds. Not surprised who won. If the Wings get through the Preds they'll win... but I'm not so sure they will. It will probably be a long series.

Good job by the leafs last night... I loved it how they booed Alfredsson every time he touched the puck haha.. I booed with them sometimes ;) anyways.. my Canucks are going to win tonite yeah babyyy!!

Nice the canadiens just won their game, and by the way, i'm not saying that because i'm a canadiens fan, but the refferes are so ... stupid ... in the last period of this game I saw about 7 or 8 penalities ( both to canadiens and boston ) that should've been called, I want to know what you think, and Bruins fans here I think you understand what I meen here. I think that today Fraser did not get out from his daily hair dressing routine, so he completly, forgot to check for infractions !

... I needed to say that, ( sorry to any Kerry Fraser fans here :p )

MY RANT!!!

What the hell was Ribero doing tonite?! That cry baby sucky ass move he pulled should have reprocussions. In a game that is in enough trouble already Mike Ribero's stunt is the last thing we need. Not only was this unsportsmen like but it just makes Don Cherry seem that much more sane when a Frenchmen does this. I'm not racist but Ribero didn't help the European image tonight. I'm a Canadian and was behind Montreal all the way until then. It made me sick. Here's hoping the Bruins win the next 2 and I don't have to look at that whining ###### again! :angry: GO BRUINS GO!

End of rant

Congrats to Nashville by the way. Keep the Wings on their toes. :)

Ohlund owns, b quiet ;) ...Iginla has nothing on the Canucks

That was a dirty hit from behind. I can't believe the refs didn't call it. I'm sick of all the cheap shots and dives in hockey. I DEMAND VENGENCE!!! I want Ohlund and Ribero to face suspensions. This type of behaviour is killing the game and the players need to know the league won't tolerate it.

Edit: @ khalsa: Iggy would kick Ohlund's ass. Those punches when the ref was holding Ig was dirty. I hope Iggy gets his hands on Ohlund in game 4.

I'd rather have cheap shots that dives.. Ohlund could have gone after him way harder. Believe me, when you are in a tight hockey game, you will do anything you can to not let the other team score. I've learned that by personal experience. (I'm not saying a cheap shot though lol)

Ohlund did what was needed and got it done. Iggy should've stayed cool, now it's gonna be even more interesting in game 4. As much as I love Cloutier, Moose showed me that I can trust him now. Cooke was prolly the best player out there, so I can't wait til tuesday! GO NUCKS!

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
