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

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

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • 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.
