I can't believe the Sharks are spanking the Avs. I guess they are this years Anaheim....

No, they're definetly not this years Anaheim, they have been consistent and playing good the whole season just not noticed. They finished higher than Colorado so technically that makes them the favourite where as Anaheim snuck in to the playoffs barely and managed to beat the number 1 seed and win the Western Conference.

Actually, the Sharks were pretty fukcing pathetic early on. So horrible were they that both Patrick Marleu and Vincent Damphousse said about 1/4th of the way through the season that "we have nothing to lose now, so we'll just go out and play hockey". The only way they hung around 1st place was because of all the damn tie games they had.

There has been high expectations here every year about this team, and every year it's been for naught. So, nobody really expected much this year, especially after losing Teemu Selanne and some other valuable players. But, they are fun to watch and work extremely hard - much like the Oakland A's have to do in order to compete - and it's paid off.

The Flyers game was a little too close for comfort, but they pulled it off in the end. It got pretty intense when Toronto pulled out Belfour and put the 6th man in and Toronto freaking shot like 100 times. Eshe is still the man!

You never know the Avs might win the next 4 straight and take care of the Sharks and face the Wings in the Western Finals....

    • 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 This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries.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 When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images.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.
