Rozsival scores!!! Rangers win 2-1 in the second OT.

Great game by the Rangers. They should have won it in regulation. Aside from the disallowed goal, the Rangers got called for every minor infraction while the Sabres got off scott-free. The Sabres had 6 PPs to the Rangers' 0 at one point in the latter part of the game. The officiating in these playoffs has been burtal

Luongo just ****ed up so hard. ITs very rare he does that.

Well, he did pretty much the same thing in game 1 too

refs handed that game to vancouver, thank god they suck. woo ducks!

LOL yup. The officiating was the worst and most one sided I've seen these playoffs. It was an absolute joke. Some of those penalties, like R. Niedermayer's slash to Ohlund's stick. I didnt know stick-to-stick contact was a penalty.

We now have a tie in the Rangers-Sabres series. Another close call that went New Yorks way apparently.

The Ducks win and take a 3-1 series lead, i don't think the 'Nucks will come back from this. Not that i have anything against them of course.....

hey rajput, are you originally from Montreal? I'm from Montreal but I used to live in Surrey for a while. I never had anything against the Canucks and their fans, in fact, I supported them in the '94 Cup run, but when I got to know them, I started to build a strong hatred for everything Canucks.

Might as well throw out my predictions as well lol.

Conference Quarter Finals

Sharks going to take out the Wings

Ducks going to take out Canucks

Sabres going to take out Rangers

Sens going to take out Devils

Conf. Finals

Sabers vs. Sens

Ducks vs. Sharks

Finals

Sens vs. Sharks

Stanley Cup Champs

Sharks

I agree except I expect Buffalo to make it to the finals.

Even as a Rangers fan, I'm surprised how well they are doing against Buffalo. I recognize that the Sabres are a very good team, so I'd love for the series to go to seven. Of course, you all know my dream about a Red Wings v. Rangers Original Six Final...

You know, with my work schedule, I went to bed before the Canucks game wrapped up. Can anyone tell me the final score? Axon?

I think this is the most talented bunch of teams, from top to bottom, Ive seen in the playoffs. IMO that strike was excellent for the NHL, the rule changes and superstars spread out across the league = what we have here. Plus Joe Thornton in a Sharky uni! :ike:

no i wish, i would die for a chance to live in Montreal or even go there. I here the city of gorgeous and tons of fun if you are a kid in your twenties. My dad has been watching hockey since the original six era, he hated the leafs so Montreal was the only other Canadian team. I was pretty much raised on the habs, born in 86 the year they won the cup so i kinda figure their would be no way my dad would allow me to love any other team. He says the reason he put me and my little brother in french immersion was to teach him french and translate the interviews of the habs players and commentators on RDS. The reason i love the ducks because i was seven when the first duck movie came out and loved them ever since because of the movies (yup, Disney blatant media advertising worked on me). And you're reason for hating the canucks is exact same reason i hate them. Hab fans and canuck's fans are completely different. Most canuck fans aren't even real and are totally ignorant. You look up "bandwagon" and you are bound to find something about the canuck fans. No loyalty at all. If a Montreal fan had something showing Montreal on their car or house, it would NEVER EVER come down, here in this area, they already started coming down... I have nothing against the real fans, and they are hard to find, but they exist, but the rest are sick.

edit: also they are ridiculously sensitive and making fum of them is a good time.

The battle of California is starting to seem like a reality! Ducks-Sharks will be an incredible series.

Hey rajput, I hate to bunch all Canucks fans into one category, because I know there are some true fans, but I can't disagree with what you said. Strange thing is that I'm also a Ducks fan for a couple reasons. I had a soft spot for them in their Cup run a 4-5 years ago. I hated, and still hate NJ, so pulling for Anaheim was the obvious choice. Signing one of my favourite players in Selanne was a good move, and now that I live in LA, I had 2 choices: Kings or Ducks. I went to a couple Kings and Ducks games, and I liked the Ducks and their fans a lot more than the Kings ;)

It must be nice to be able to go to games without having to know somebody that can hook you up.

lol ass.

3-2 Ducks in OT after the Canucks blew a 2-0 with 15mins left in the game

Appreciated, but R-Flex was just trying to take a shot at me. I ended up having to ferry him home before overtime started, thus depriving him of the ability to gloat when Anaheim scored. :crazy:

Well it's all over for Vancouver, next year they better get Luongo some better defencemen, also I see Gary Bettman has his wish to eliminate another Canadian team from the playoffs, still desperately tryng to pawn of his version of the NHL to the US market, and of course the referee's are favoring the US teams.

Next on Bettman's elimination list is Ottawa, they may make the next round, but after that you can be guaranteed the ref's will ensure the boss gets his wish, an all American final.

I have nothing against Americans, hell i'm almost an American myself I work and spend 60% of my personal time in the USA, but i'm just tired of seeing the NHL try to gain an audience that only 40% of the USA population even knows Professional Ice Hockey exists.

Vancouver got too beat up from the Dallas series.

    • 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.
