On Ales Hemsky's first goal, the one tying the game at 3-3, it is in my opinion that he kicked it in. From what I saw viewing the clips repeatedly, I would say he kicked it in. Not that I mind, really, because the Edmonton-Calgary round will be superb. Although, I would prefer Original Six teams to win the Cup, and I am hesitant to see Yzerman go so easily. One of the greatest that ever played. The old guard is leaving, an inevitable disappointment that they would go one day.

Calgary now has an easy road to forge ahead in the West (Yes, I am assuming that they win).

The Hemsky goal is arguable. It must be a distinct kicking motion for it to be considered askicked in, like a pendulum, or a soccer player winding his leg back then forth to strike the ball, or winding up for a slap shot. And you're allowed to direct the puck in ur net with ur skates, u cant kick it in.

honestly, i might be seeing things, but i swear that after the puck went off the post, it got knocked up into the air. it went off of helmsky's chest, and then rolled down to his thigh. at the same time, helmsky was clearly being pushed from behind towards the net, at the same time the puck was going down helmskys leg, and the forward movement caused it to go in the net. i never saw the puck actually go off his skate. i even rewound the play and watched it again.

Rangers didn't give up. well they didnt play to potential and put in a rusty Lundqvist in net. Jagr was hurt. It was a combination of things. Dont forget, Jersey is the hottest team in the NHL.

Habs lose a tough one from a 50foot blast deflected by our on defenseman in OT :( Oh well. Here's to next seas :pint: :pint:

Eastern Conference is going to be:

Ottawa vs Buffalo

Carolina vs New Jersey

Ya, it sucks about Les Habitants :( Oh well, Gainey promised us the playoffs during the summer and he got us there.

As for the Ducks; It wasnt the most exciting game (no games are when the Flames are playing), but the Ducks played an excellent game, virtually perfect. They did all the little things right and made no mistakes.

Go ducks!!!

The top four seeds in the east all won their series.

The top four seeds in the west all lost to the underdogs in their series.

That's a good trend if you are an Oilers fan.

With the Canadiens and the Flames out there is only one Canadian team left that I can cheer for.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
