Great news!

I opened my web browser for a reason and then I got distracted. It was bugging me that I couldn't remember the purpose. So, I went of to Neowin because that is usually what I do when I have a browser open and I saw this thread. Then, of course, I remembered why I opened the browser in the first place. I was intending to go to NHL.com to see what happened.

Its a bit of a funny coincidence that edmonton wiped out anaheim 4-1, who white washed colorado 4-0 who beat dallas 4-1. Does that mean that Calorlina of Buffalo are going to win by the same margin? :whistle:

well, it appears finishing fast can definitely cause problems.

edmondton will take it to 7, whoever it is...

Carolina will win. They were going to win regardless but since Buffalo lost three key defensemen it's going to be hard for them to win the series and then continue to the cup. I'm calling Carolina to win this and Carolina win it in 6 games for the Cup.

I hope that Edmonton wins. I think they have been playing pretty good, plus, Canada needs one of our teams to win the cup sometime soon. Calgary almost got it 2 years ago, hopefully Edmonton gets it this time. Rolly the goalie has been doing pretty good, let a few easy ones threw, but still doing pretty good.

Well tough luck for the Sabres tonight as Carolina advances. I say tough luck because Buffalo would have won this series as easily as they did against Ottawa. Too bad that 4 of their 6 defensement were out with injuries, and their top centerman too. Just an unlucky series of events. But hey, theres always next year.

In the begining of the season people pegged buffalo to miss the playoffs and be another disaster. With their low-low salary I could venture and guess that Buffalo will have no problems retaining key players. I think this years salary was only $29m; $10m less than the cap. Next season the cap should jump to 43-46. Buffalo is going to have a great club in the future.

$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.

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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
