I have commented on that before. I guess he doesn't remember the blood feud.

He might not have been following hockey long enough to know about that hit. I remember watching that hit and the goalie fights that followed it. Those were good times.

It won't. Dallas is ****ed.

As long as the Canucks can't score, the Stars will win. 20 of 210 series have been won by returning from 3-1 deficits. Ten percent. It's not that uncommon. Remember, the Sedins are the Canucks most potent offence (and certainly not enough to carry an entire team), and they haven't scored since Game 1.

Interesting enough, it was Alexander Burrows who began that post-game scrum, not any Dallas player seeking revenge. Yet, Burrows slash on Brendan Morrow is intriguing. I remember one Canuck captain who was hurt from a legal hit. Steve Moore was declared public enemy number one in Vancouver- I wonder how Dallas will take this offence by Burrows against their captain?

That was so confusing. Why the hell would he have done that?

I was surprised about it as well. The NHL suspended him for 5 games and fined Playfair (head coach) $25,000 and the team $100,000.

Since the Devils won today, the 2nd round of the eastern conference is set:

Rangers vs Sabres

Senators vs Devils

Rangers vs Sabres is going to be a really good series. I don't think Buffalo is anywhere near their peak earlier in the season. They had a hard time dealing with the Isles' bigger and stronger D-men. The way the Rangers' D has played lately, I think they're going to give the Sabres offense a really tough time. If Henrik + the D shut down the Sabres offense like they've shut down every other teams' offense that they've faced recently, I wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo got eliminated.

Sens Devils is going to be a decent watch too. Two completely different styles going head to head. I think goaltending is going to decide the winner of this series.

In the West, I'm pulling for a Detroit and Dallas win, that way we get to see a battle of California between the Ducks and Sharks. That could possibly be the best series of the entire playoffs.

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

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
