geeze yeah, i dunno, i'd have to see the hit again, after reading what niemenan said. but to put the flames down a man for the last 5min of the game (at home), when they were only down a goal, is a pretty big punishment.

did the flames win or lose that game against detroit when he was suspended?

Yes we may have had one hit but this was led up to what it is today. Not counting anything that wasn't called in Game 1 or 2 which to say we got called for everything in game one lots of which were crap. But if you take the major hits in game three and four here it goes.

Game three. Ruslan Fedotenko was drilled into the wall. Now we had Pavel Kubina elbowed in the head all in game three. Now we had Fedotenko drilled into the glass. This was the hit that drew the line. That doesn't count the many holding and tripping calls that weren't called against the Flames. Now we had our fare share of holding and tripping calls not called but the amount not called for the bolts is far fewer than the Flames.

The fact is the Flames had very little called against them the whole series while the lighning had very little called for them and worse they had stuff call against them that were the worst calls I've ever seen. The fact is that the Flames were getting away with way too much and they went further and further on what they could get away with and they went just too far. You can say they gave the Bolts the game but you had plenty of time to score the whole game. We Bolts fans can say you were given the game in game 1 and we have a better reason to think this about game one than you do about game 4.

Now if those of you can't see all the stuff that the Flames got away with and all the stuff that the bolts didn't have called against the flames and you saw all the things that were just crap calls againsts Tampa and you think that the game 4 hit wasn't dirty you have a real problem with reality. I've said this from game 1 and now since they took it way too far its finally being talked about and something is being done. This was not out of the blue in any way shape or form.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
