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

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
