Official NHL 2005-2006 Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Well since I can't edit no more, double post for me!

Calgary lost 5-2 to the BlackHawks ending the 8 game winning streak. Damn I was hoping they would have at least gotten to 9 and won against Edmonton and tied the Franchise record of 10. O well, it was good game, Blackhawks came back 2nd and 3rd to win it.

And whoever scored it (can't spell the name) ties the league goal scorer.

you mean Simon Gagne pronounced See-mon Gan-yay... ties Jagr and Alfredsson for first in goals with 18. Pretty good. Of those 18 goals Gagne has scored, i bet 16 or 17 have been assisted by Forsberg :) What a great combo.

You mean when the rich teams could buy all the talent, leaving no chance for the bottom rung teams? When scoring was so low, you may as well have been watching a soccer game? Yes, that WAS a great period in the NHL.  :rolleyes:

Yes. I loved low scoring, when games were competitive, instead of 9-1 everyday. Scoring doesn't equate excitement. Powerplays repeatedly definitely does not equal excitement.

As for teams buying championship rings, that doesn't neccessarily work. Detroit Red Wings have an amazing scouting and training system. Rangers did not win. New Jersey, a team that did not spend excessively on free agents, was very successful. In the last several years, teams that did not buy their way to the Cup Finals included Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Calgary Flames, Washington Capitals, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Buffalo Sabres, and Carolina Hurricanes enjoyed success in this 'era of money.' Besides, that was covered by the salary cap, not the new rules which are detestful.

The era of higher salaries and low skill was caused by the rapid expansion to crappy markets for hockey, allowing for low competition and unskilled players to take over.

Flames are  9-1-0 this month, and have a share of

the division lead. I hope they can keep this up.

They better. They are doing really well. Last night game was tough and was played very well. Both teams played good with Avalanche getting better goals. But overall it was a good effort on both teams.

Flames can go 12-1 this month if the win against Sharks, Oilers and Predators. Which I believe they can, so let's hope so.

Calgary struggled at the start, but with Kiprusoff readjusting to the new rules and Regehr returning, they are becoming really strong. Also, although he is ignored, Dion Phaneuf is the best rookie in the league, and has become another excellent member of the strong defence core.

Went to the Rangers game Sunday with my pops. Great game against Boston. And the win over Buffalo with Jagr finally scroing in a shootout :yes: . Man I can't be more impressed with the Rangers so far this year :D

Jagr's shootout goal was outstanding. I listen to it on xm, but luckly sportscenter showed a replay of it. The Rangers are off to a great start. I hope they continue this play up through out the season. If they do, they should easily challenge for the division title or get a 4th seed in the playoffs.

The Leafs won against Montreal in overtime to put them 3-0 this year during the overtime period.

The don't seem to fare so well in the shootout, however, as they have only ever scored once (Eric Lindros) but that was good enough for a shootout win versus Boston. Their overall shootout record is 1-3.

Anyone else catch the Malik goal in the shootout? The only shootout so far this year that had me excited was that...The most beautiful goal I've seen in two or three years.

NHL 2006 Skill Skick. Press Down with the Right Analog Stick when you're near the goalie with a "star" player. :laugh: :rofl: :D

Yeah, I just saw it on SportsNet's highlight of the night (on in the case of a Monday, of the weekend).

hey now, we were missing our top 3 D-men and our top forward that game. In all reality you should have blown us out of the water like 8-0... much like u did to the Maple Laffs :)

Anyways, i'm sure they're gonna start engraving the names of the Sens players on the cup once the trade deadline is reached.

Well, the Sens have been doing amazing this season (if you ignore the loss against Boston), and Nashville has been quite a surprise. I knew moving to Ottawa from Toronto would be good (then again, I was antiToronto in the middle of Toronto, lol.

    • The fact I need to use "Show more" like 99% of the time is so annoying. Or why I have 7-zip under 3 submenus when it could be in top. And Microslop keeps saying how they'll improve Start and I've not seen ANY improvement yet. In MONTHS. WTF?! I'll believe any of it when they actually deliver anything.
    • LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
