Although if you think about Calgary lost and they beat your AV's so does that mean the AV's woulda lost too :p

Doesn't matter :p The team that kept the Avs out of the playoffs is out as well, so I'm happy.

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this Wings-Sharks matchup... :(

I think we're either going to see another early exit by Detroit or them win the Cup. If they can get past the Sharks, I think they'll do fine, but I don't see it happening.

Ottawa v Rangers eastern final!

I thought the East consisted of Buffalo v. New York and New Jersey v. Ottawa?

If the Canucks win, then the Wings will face the Sharks. Otherwise, it would be Dallas.

And I have serious doubts of a Canuck victory.

I assume he was predicting for the Rangers to beat the Sabres and the Senators to beat the Devils thus setting up a "Ottawa v Rangers eastern final!"

Too bad the Lightning are gone... Loved watching St. Louis and Lecavalier, pure magic. Brodeur was just too good vs Holmquist.

Flames gone too, tough loss in OT last night :( Their home vs road level of play is what killed them this year.

Detroit vs San Jose

Anaheim vs Vancouver

OR

Detroit vs Dallas

Anaheim vs San Jose

Going to find out tonight...

Good to see that Detroit got rid of Calgary. What a bunch of sore losers, picking fights cause your loosing!! Real professional. Idiots!

I really hope Dallas wins tonight. Hate to be picky, but I would personally like to see that happen. As a Detroit fan for 18+ years....not really looking forward to a starting time of 10:30pm ET (If Det. plays San Jose). Not cool!!! lol. But whatever goes....goes. Just want to see a good series and also a good playoffs.

This is hockey at it's best!

Go Wings!

Wow, what a game ! everytime I go work out of tow them 'nucks win !

It should be interesting matchup between Ducks & Nucks, thing is with Vancouver they either lose round 1 or go straight to the final, I can only hope they go to final.

my prediction for San Jose to take Detroit in 6 games, I don't know about Anaheim & Vancouver.

Eastern Conference

Buffalo Sabres v. New York Rangers

As much as I'd love to predict my Rangers to win, I have serious doubts that they may defeat such a team as Buffalo. However, they will give them a run for their money, perhaps six games.

New Jersey Devils v. Ottawa Senators

Chalk this one up to the fact that the Senators always lose. Plus, Brodeur may get into playoff mode. Devils in six games.

Western Conference

Detroit Red Wings v. San Jose Sharks

Don't get me wrong: The Sharks are a very good team. One of the best kept secrets in the league. Yet, I will go with the more reliable bet of the better team, the Red Wings. Likely in seven games.

Anaheim Ducks v. Vancouver Canucks

The last series between the Canucks and the Stars proved how the Canucks (and the Stars) are lacking. Like I have said, not enough scoring. Either the Stars or Canucks would have lost in the second round easily. The Canucks, their "team" consists of Roberto Luongo. Unless Luongo pulls off the most amazing games of his career, I would not give this to Vancouver. Anaheim in five games.

Altogether, the first three series will be very close. No clear victor. I have serious doubts myself over my predictions, because anything could happen (except a Canuck victory over the Ducks).

Yes although one of the reasons I personally think there was a lack of scoring in the Stars vs Canucks series was because of the goalies. Honestly luongo and Turco got a standing ovation. they performed amazingly.

The ducks and canucks series will be very interesting indeed. I believe that if our boys (The canucks) can keep their momentum in actually scoring then we have a chance against the ducks. Because your right luongo cant do it all.

Canucks win!! Yeah bitches!!! My buddies and I were going crazy. Especially when Linden scored.?I was pretty sure we were going to lose this game, but just like all season long, we found a way to win when it counts the most. Great game yet again by Luongo. Anahiem is up next on Wednesday!!

Pft, R-Flex. As I recall, your original prediction was Stars in 6, followed by 7 :p.

While you do a decent job of sugar coating your life-long hatred of our home team with some logic and proof, it's still riddled with bias :laugh:

Ps, could you hear the cars honking over at your place? We could hear'em loud'n'clear.

Woot! Go 'Nucks!!

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
