Official NHL 2005-2006 Season Thread

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.

I think you mean the Calder. Phaneuf could have a legitmate shot at winning the Norris though . And Crosby, Phaneuf, Svatos, Prucha, Meszaros are getting their dues respectively. Maybe not on American media so much, but these players have been making a name for themselves and anyone with half an insight on hockey know these names alongside Ovechkin thats for sure.

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:

Could have been that big contract he signed, but if im not mistaken isnt Turco comming off some kind of knee or groin injury? Those things take a while to recover and can spontaneously re-appear with a slight aggrivation. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he doesnt end up like Theodore. But i do recall hearing or reading about Turco playing injured.

Yup, congrats. Even though I'm a flames fan. :shiftyninja:

P.S.

We will mop up the floors with you guys if we meet in the

playoffs. :pacifier:

Well, perhaps. We shall see haha. Either way, it's been an incredible season and I never fail to be impressed by Eric Staal. I love that kid. So much for hockey not lasting in NC like they said just earlier this year. Raleigh is obsessed with hockey, though I admit there are quite a number of fair weather fans, though each year they do well, the number of people who become true fans increases rapidly. Lots of these people didn't know anything about hockey until just recently :p

Sorry, you're right, the Calder. My mind must have been really scrambled yesterday. :D

Well the NHL is back after that horrid 2 week Olympic break;

Also, there has been a new NHL rule change.

Beginning tonight pucks fired directly over the glass in the defensive zone are no longer an automatic two minute minor. If a puck is deflected, batted or gloved over the glass and the referee deems it unintentional, it is no longer a penalty.

Also, all sticks will be measured before shooters take part in the shootout. If a stick is illegal, its owner is sent back to the bench for a legal stick.

I looked at the Olympics as a 2 week break from the NHL. So refreshing to see great hockey again. As for the rule change, common sense has finally taken hold on the NHL officials.

Anybody want a Leaf?

You can have anybody outside of Kyle Wellwood, Alex Steen, Mats Sundin, Alex Ponikarovsky, Darcy Tucker and Tomas Kaberle.

Anyone?

Going cheap...

Canucks in return? Brendan Morrison is quickly becoming trade material, and although the Canucks would hate to get rid of a highly paid, underachieving winger (although I prefer, 'damaged goods') named Todd Bertuzzi, getting rid of him might be a relief.

Highly paid, underachieving winger? We'll take him as he'll fit in with the team nicely.

LOL fred; in all honesty who in their right minds would take up any Leafs besides the ones you mentioned? Man, they're like 3-17 in their last 20 or something arent they? Well all I can say is that Montreal was in that boat not too long ago, so welcome to the club.

How about Theodore? Anyone want him? It wouldn't hurt to save $5.3m in cap space. Huet, at 20 games is statiscally the best goalie in the NHL right now with a .929 SV% and a 2.25 GAA.

Damn. I've been cheering for the Leafs all season and they go and win the one game (against Montreal) that I wanted them to lose.

Yes, statistically we have not been eliminated but we'll need to win some 15 or the next 22 games to get the eigth spot.

I'd be happier if we traded McCabe, Antropov, Belfour or anyone of value and went for a decent first round pick next year. Now, unfortunately, there is a glimmer of hope.

Trade Jeff O'Neil for a bag of pucks (he's -20 or something) and if. anyone wanted Jason Allison then I wouldn't ask much more in return. And what's with Domi? Lowsy season (even for his skills) and he's not fighting anyone.

The last thing I want is for us to end up ninth, get a lowsy pick (after the top 10) and then lose McCabe to free agency. That would suck.

Trade McCabe now to a contender for something (or someone) and, if you really like the guy, then rehire him in the summer for next year. Rent him out.

I hear Bertuzzi might go to Ottawa for either Chara or Redden (add in minor players or draft picks on either side). This has made me quite happy.

I haven't heard that, that would be fricking awesome!!!!

I'd love to see Bertuzzi go. I'm tired of reading newspapers that place him as a second star of the game without justification. Four teams apparently want him, including Ottawa or Philadelphia. Ottawa's Redden or Chara has been rumoured becaues after this year, they will only be able to keep one.

    • 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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
