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.

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
