Boston vs Montreal. Tied 1-1. My problem is that I don't know who to root for.

Generally speaking, I'll usually take the Canadian team over a US team. However, in this case, if Montreal wins then they play Tampa (#8 is eliminated so #1 would play #7) and Toronto (#4) would play Phily (#3) should Toronto be able to win one of the next two vs Ottawa. I'd MUCH rather Toronto play Tampa because they are a less physical team. If Toronto beats Tampa then they'd be in good shape for the conference final (against Boston or Phily). Even if Toronto could beat Phily it would take a lot out of them and I'd rather then not grind themselves down too soon (we're an old team after all).

So I guess Montreal should win tonight (it's always best if every other series goes to 7), then for the Leafs to win tomorrow (no need for our series to go to seven) and then for Boston to win on Monday. Sorry, that's just the way the cards have been dealt. If it were possible for Toronto to play Montreal in the forseeable future then I'd go with that but I don't see both Toronto beating Phily AND Montreal beating Tampa.

Does that make sense?

I"m really looking forward to seeing a Wings/Avs series in Western Conference Finals :) :)

If the Canucks come back against the Flames then Detroit would play the Avs in the next round.

Otherwise Detroit will play the Flames next and have to hope that the Avs beat San Jose to force the Detroit-Colorado Western Conference Final. That's assuming that the #1 team can beat Calgary first.

And that's a mighty big assumption there my friend. Don't think so fast. The Flames will have something to say to that.

The Flames have to win THIS series first. The let Vancouver score 4 in a row and then they come back with three of their own. Yes, they've got one more game in Vancouver, if necessary, but you don't want to have to go there.

My point is if the Flames advance then the Wings will have their hands full.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
