I really don't see any bias among the CBC announcers, of whom I hardly see any of the criticism that many give them. Right now I'm watching the Habs-Canes game, in which the Canadiens are winning 1-0 currently. Amazing game, maybe the best I've seen all year (Hmm...Low scoring? Good game? In Bettman's NHL!? No!) The refs are letting the teams play, and it's great hockey. I love the CBC productions.

Concerning Detroit, it's quite a surprise, but it's far from over. And I'm definitely not surprised that Roloson is playing well. He's a great goalie, and I remember one comment from the announcers giving him credit for a Hasek-like save; Roloson was Hasek's backup in Buffalo years ago. Not surprising.

I picked Dallas to win the West. How they are losing is beyond me. But I suppose I do underestimate Joe Sakic and Alex Tanguay, both underrated and forgotten by most. Tanguay is one of the best in the league.

Calgary is winning over Anaheim, which for a third Western matchup, against my prediction. But who would have thought that the Flames would exceed their regular season goal total in three playoff games? Their high scoring is unusual.

If Nashville still had Vokoun, they would be beating the Sharks, who will be defeated in the second round.

The Ottawa-Tampa Bay Game 3 was another great game. Tensions are high, and it will be a bitter battle to the finish, maybe to Game 7.

Montreal is embaressing Carolina, and that's a big surprise. Their offence has clicked well. I actually would like the Canadiens to win, just to restore the old Original Six days of the legendary teams winning the Cup in a city that cares.

No surprise that New Jersey is destroying New York.

Buffalo is taking care of the pre-season favourite for the Cup, but I do think that Buffalo will be very successful this year, maybe even winners of the the finals. Daniel Briere for the Conn Smythe.

If Montreal wins, Qu?bec is going to burn down to the ground in celebration. Haha:rofl:: . I wouldn?t mind seeing them take it.

they will beat carolina.. unfortunately not tonight :( they lost in OT after getting a stupid penalty, 5 vs 4 (and one without a stick).. odds were against them, carolina played very well tonight though.

Montreal owned that game. The refs are f*cking blind, that's the problem, and unfortunately, Koivu may be as well after this. Just a stupid, stupid outcome.

I don't understand how they missed it, considering the ref helped him skate off the ice. That should have been an automatic double minor minimum. The other guy practically rubbed his face off trying to get some blood out, but Koivu was rushed to a hospital. :no:

The officiating was absolutely disgusting tonight. Carolina only get 3 penalties the entire game. I don't deny the Habs penalties, but Carolina just got away with so much. Cross check to the back of Ryder, elbow to Ribeiro's head, boarding on Plekanec, trip on Plekanec just off the top of my head. Whats even worse is that we get penalized for the exact same thing the Canes got away with all through the game, and arguably the series.

I don't even wanna argue this.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
