It is funny that the final three teams were some of the smallest markets in the league.

Yeah, funny isn't it? Guess that proves that having more fans DOESN'T matter huh? I guess it really does depend on the team (imagine that!). Maybe that'll shut some people up about it... then again probably not. We make up for it by having louder and crazier fans in the fans we do have ;).

$1157.60 in tickets.

3x Game 5, Section 116, Row 2 = $890.75

And just in case

2x Game 7, Section 336, Row who cares, it's upper level already = $266.85

I wanted to get at least one game with really good seats, and then I decided to get some Game 7 tickets too, just in case. I figured IF we do go to Game 7, I DEFINATELY want to be there, but I didn't have as much to spend becauase of the Game 5 tickets so upper level works, as long as I'm there and screaming my fool head off :D.

Plus I plan on going to the arena every away game to watch with the rest of the fans, assuming they do that again this year. They did in 2002, but I haven't heard anything official yet. I'll have to ask my friend who works at the RBC Center.

lucky ****** :)

wow! What a game! The penalty shot was awesome, been a while since I had seen one of those. Sucks that edmonton lost its main goalie though...the backup gooalie made a big mistake that costed the oilers the game...but still a great game. Hope the Oilers win the next game though, and I hope Rolly the goalie is able to come back for the oilers.

Question though, I'm in Colorado, and been watching hockey on OLN. OLN will show the first 2 games, but after that they it anymore. I have Dish network, what channel do I watch?? I can't find the channel RDS. Is it Canadian or american? I don't want to listen to the radio, want to watch a hockey game, much more fun. Tried doing a search on the tv, but doesn't show anything past wednesday.

well it looks like rolly is done for the year. you can see he sprained his right knee if you watch the reply closely.

all of these games should be aired in the US. i have dish network too. yahoo says they'll be on nbc. but they should all be on OLN.

I had high hopes that Edmonton might do it... Now I don't think they can.. So depressing... I wouldn't have minded if Edmonton had played their best, with Roli, and lost.. But now - we won't ever know what would have been if Roli had not been injured.

This city needs this cup badly..

i just hope that other goalie plays well, or at least well enough to TRY and make it a non-factor. but the question will always be there. smith needs to take the blame for that goal, regardless of who's fault it was, and try to leave conklin with a little bit of confidence.

Wow what a match, Cam ward pulled off some amazing saves in the 3rd. Too bad for Edmonton that Roloson picked up an injury, thats going to make it much much harder for the Oilers to win the cup. They still have a chance of course, but don't hold your breath. :p

Ty Conklin is the reason the Oilers finished in 8th. Roloson is also the reason the Oilers got to the playoffs. A lot of Canadians are crying bloody murder because of the alleged hit, but it was the doufus Bergeron who took out his own goalie by plowing Ladd into Roloson.

Any Canadian who knows anything about hockey knows Bergeron is at fault.

I absolutely hate to see a series decided by a factor like injury. Although I want Carolina to win, it's disappointing to win in this manner. It's also too bad my hometown hero Andrew Ladd is being blamed by some. Yet, I can't wait to see that thing when he brings it home!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
