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

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
