Edmonton needs to lose today to qualify for the top draft position in the lottery. If they win they would be the 6th worst team which kinda sucks considering only the top 5 are eligible for the 1st place lottery.

Since I have a natural affinity for all Canadian teams, I hope Edmonton loses. Calgary may no longer need the win but the loss would be good for Edmonton.

Still, when it comes to Edmonton vs Calgary, there's the pride thing on the line.

How can you be an avs fan and cheer for the wings?! j/k

It's a shame that the avs are out of the playoffs, but, there is always next year. We have some very good young guys, Brisebois and Turgeon may depart and there is now an extra $4.6 million in bonus payments that was meant to go to Sakic and Rob Blake. With all that spare cash i wouldn't be surprised if Colorado sign a big free agent when the season finally finishes.

I hear that Buffalo are going to have problems keeping both Drury and Briere next year.....

:p Hey, the Wings are a good team and very enjoyable to watch, plus I need a team to cheer for during the playoffs otherwise it's not as exciting.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Wings fan, but the Wings really aren't the team you should be picking for that considering the past few years we've had very early exits. But yeah, this year will be different of course. ;)

well it was an awesome game last night. GO LEAFS GO. lots of weird goals..and I guess if you do go to the net, things will happen. Anyway, the playoffs for the Leafs are on Devil's hands now. Watching 1st period, they haven't rushed that much, plus (this is going to **** off Don Cherry) that Brodeur isn't starting. So I don't know.

Well after that devastating loss to the Make Me Laughs last night, the Isles eased a bit of the pain for me. Boy was the last part of that game tense or what!

I cannot believe all the blind luck the Make Believes had against the Habs last night. Jeesus, they must have scored 3 goals that floated like a dying balloon. I told everyone I knew that Huet was the wrong choice to start the game. Only 1 period of action in the last 2months? Halak would have been better IMO. Huet was weak, even if he stood on his head in the first with that barrage of 20-some shots.

Anyways, I'm going to root for the Sharks and Ducks out west and the Isles (for obvious reasons) and Pens out east

Wouldn't be surprised if it was an Ottawa Senaturd fan that made the video, they're especially bitter after being eliminated from the playoffs 4 times in 5 years by the Leafs. Homers from any team are so obnoxious.

And being the most hated team in sports is not a bad thing, it is a compliment. ;)

Eventually all the Canadian teams will get eliminated, most likely in the first round and one of our American teams will win the cup yet again :yes:

when that happens you can watch your city's team in the NBA playoffs, MLS or MLB now. ooooooh thats right I forgot, only one Canadian city can even support a pro franchise outside of hockey. silly hosers, Anaheim FTW! :p

Just because I'm PO'd that the Habs got eliminated by Toronto... I could handle an elimination to any other team, but Toronto? Anyways, here you go:

Make fun of Toronto all you like but remember:

8. NYI

9. Toronto

10. Montreal

If Toronto makes you laugh then why level of discord do you hold for Montreal? :D

    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
