forgot about hockey [in dusgust] for the time being

i cant believe how greedy those mother****ing players are

nhl will never be the same... :angry: :angry:

they are just playing a game. sure they are entertaining but its not worth no 5-10 mill a season, when there are plenty of people actually contributing to society and would have no possible way of making that much in 30 years.

money is :x .

...well said Travis, I couldn't agree more. I don't think there's anyone in Edmonton that doesn't feel that way. If the owners don't get cost certainty, we can kiss the Oilers goodbye. What I can't get over is that those f***ers, errrhhh, I mean players, are so damn greedy, that they would risk some of the small market teams folding ...which means fewer jobs for them...but they would still do it just to line their own pockets!!! Where's the sense in that?

I'm a true Canadian who's grown up on the game since the late 1970's, so I totally miss it and feel that void. ...but I honestly don't want to pay top dollar to watch a team that can't afford to compete: Edmonton, Calgary, Buffalo, Pittsburgh all need this deal just to remain viable and ice a competitive team.

In the meantime, I've been watchin' Sportsnet's classic hockey matchups. Nothing beats watchin' the 1980's era of the Battle of Alberta. :p

Well I have to commend the NHL for actually taking action against the players. Any other sport would have just let it go and given in, but the NHL had the balls to suspend the season to get the players in line. Props to that. As much as I miss watching the great games, I can't help but think it's for a good reason.

yes but the nhl market is not near as large as other professional leagues..

cant wait till this is over and a salary cap is in place [ bettman recently said the NHL would not compromise on the cap ]

..and to see the oilers skate again :woot:

The NLL has started so that'll give me a near hockey fix.

I can't get into watching a AHL game on TV. Maybe it's just the camera work being so comparatively unprofessional. I feel sorry for Americans who can't watch HNIC. Some of the NHL games that I've seen on American TV (i.e. Sunshine Network in Florida) have been atrocious.

yeah but a real fan are addict to hockey you can sit on your ass and waiting. YOU MUST GET SOME HOCKEY :)

Erm, not really. I'm a "real" hockey fan (whatever that's supposed to mean) and I'm not watching any hockey right now -- just waiting for the NHL to resume. Possibly the WHA if it ever gets off the ground, too.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
