Official NHL 2005-2006 Season Thread

Canada adds an empty net goal to beat the United States at the World Juniors. Do we have a World Junior thread?

Toronto Maple Leaf prospect Justin Pogge was the player of the game for Canada.

The final score was 3-2, which would not normally be condusive to a empty net goal but due to an earlier tie with Switzerland, the United States needed a win today while Canada needed only a tie.

Both teams will advance but Canada earns a bye to the semi-finals while the United States will have to slug it out in the quarter-finals.

I'm surprised somewhat. This is one of the weakest Canadian teams in several years and one of the strongest American teams ever. I was convinced that the US would take the tournament, but now I'm not so sure...

I'll tell you who should walk with a swagger. The Swiss team tied the Americans and only lost to Canada by one goal (4-3). That's pretty impressive for them to do that.

The Americans, touted for gold by many experts, have now failed to win even the bronze medal after losing 4-2 to Finland.

Canada plays for Gold against the Russians in 35 minutes.

Speaking of goalies, when should the Leafs start to use their backup more?

Look at the stats:

No. Goaltenders GPI W L T Min SO GA SHA GAA SV%

32 Tellqvist, Mikael 11 6 3 1 641 1 26 336 2.43 .923

20 Belfour, Ed 32 18 12 2 1,909 0 100 979 3.14 .898

Maybe I just love stats. If I was a NHL coach I would demote the three forwards with the worst +/- to the fourth line. I guess it gets muddier once you consider special teams.

Toronto's fourth line would then be (all fairly big names):

Darcy Tucker (-6) - Jason Allison (-5) - Jeff O'Neil (-10)

I'm sorry but I feel better with:

Alexei Ponikarovsky (+6) - Kyle Wellwood (+9) - Matt Stajan (+7)

Let Tucker, Allison and O'Neil get some special teams time to compensate but limit their time 5-on-5 until they play their way out of it.

Theodore sucks. :| I'd rather get Osgood coming over here for Morrison and Cloutier. However, Morrison has picked up his play recently. (Y)

If Vancouver trades Bertuzzi, were going to lose everything, that guy's our MVP, he outplays Naslund in my mind.

Naslund, Bertuzzi and the Sedins are a must keep for Vancouver.

I'd say Theodore outplays Bertuzzi. I have yet to see all-star play out of the big guy. He hasn't played well at all over the last two years.

Osgood? Unfortunately, he is a poor choice for goaltender. Try Buffalo goaltenders. Three strong players. However, I wouldn't bet that any of them would take Vancouver to a Cup (although the Canucks have to improve their skaters as well before that happens), but they would do well in the regular season.

Pierre Lacroix of the Avs is heavily after Biron or Theodore. My guess is Lacroix gets one of the two. Now rumors are surfacing here on the radio that Theodore + Zednik + draft pick for Tanguay and Aebischer (which is a bad trade for us IMO) I'd much rather trade Theo for Tangay or Hejduk straight up. Either way, i think if Lacroix can't land Biron, Vancouver will.

It will be interesting to see if colorado lands one of those netminders, especially as Aebischer has just started to put in some decent games. I think theo for tanguay would be a good trade for us but we'll have to see what actually happens there. If colorado does land one of those guys who is going to take the no.1 slot? Abby won't want to give it up any time soon.

Theodore for Tanguay straight up would be a terrible trade from a Habs fan point of view, and it would be a no-brainer who would take the #1 job if it were between Theodore and "Candy" Abby.

Guess who's going to the Rangers' game tomorrow night where they will be retiring Mark (the Captain) Messier's #11? :D :D :D

I went to the arena box office at 4 in the morning the day they put individual game tickets on sale to get these tickets. I know I'm pathetic lol.

It's good to see colorado winning some games again(8 in a row now :D ) , it's also good to see abby playing some solid games. I would love to see them lead the northwest division, maybee they can in the second half of the season.

Phaneuf is playing great, but Ovechkin is stealing the show. I know you Flames fans hate to admit it but Ovechkin is going to be the next best thing since Mario Lemieux and the glowing Fox puck

I'm not a Flames fan, I just have a bias to defencemen. I know that Ovechkin is a great player, likely a future Hall-of-Famer, but I hate how little attention Phaneuf has received while he has done so well. I do agree that Ovechkin deserves the Norris, however. But I don't want to concentrate on one player; Ovechkin, Crosby, Phaneuf, Svatos, Lundqvist, Meszaros and more will help shape the league. Very exciting.

Flames take on Canadiens in about half an hour. Should be an interesting game. Too bad I won't be able to see it.

Edit: Did anyone see Ovechkin's goal the other night? What a beauty.

Wow what a goal... that was impressive.

Bah my Dallas Stars are playing like crap lately. Turco, can't stop a thing wtf is up with him all of a sudden. And Niinimaa has only added some extra penalty mins to the club, thx for nothing, and i thought the islanders fans we exaggerating about him lol :pinch:

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
