Surprises: Of course, but our lips are sealed

The 2007 NHL trade deadline is Tuesday, February 27 at 3pm et/Noon pt, and coverage begins on TSN and TSN Broadband at 10am et/7am et.

According to this, The Score will offered 8 hours of coverage last year. I don't know what ESPN and Versus are doing exactly.

Well, I originally thought 8 hours was ridiculous but then I realized that if it is on and I am near a TV then I will probably watch it. Probably not the entire 8 hours but I'll catch up every half hour or so. The interview with Eklund may hook me for a while.

Today is deadline day

Americans that like hockey can watch SportsNet Live on the internet from this page:

Don't forget to check Eklund's site:

The Toronto Star gets their data from forcaster.ca so I tend to like what they have:

One hour is done with only one trade to talk about (Gary Roberts to Pittsburgh).

Recently we learned that Martin Biron was traded but the destination has not been confirmed. The first rumour was Florida but now they are saying Philadelphia (for a 1st round draft choice).

The Leafs re-aquired Y. Perreault who, apparently, has had an injured shoulder since the all-star game thus making him less effective at faceoffs and reducing his offensive output.

Can someone explain to me the logic of renting a injured player?

Biggest move so far is easily Bertuzzi being a wing.

I consider the Ryan Smith move bigger/more significant than Bertuzzi. At least Ryan is healthy.

Wow, TSN kicked Sportsnet's butt. I was pretty loyal to Sportsnet without really doing much flipping around. TSN charges extra for their HD channel while Sportsnet is free in HD (if you have the Rogers VIP bundle anyway).

I mean, there really isn't much value in seeing Nick and the boys in HDTV but at least they had the "Deal or No Deal" girls (and the Hanson Brothers). Actually the Kipper lives around me somewhere, I see him out and about a fair bit.

For any non-Slapshot fans, I'm talking about these guys and not that kid band:

Sportsnet had Eklund but they kept his identity secret. He sounded like a bit of a whiner. Probably just some internet geek.

    • 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.
