How about Fleury played one of the greatest games I've ever seen? THAT is why you lost.

My favourite part of that game:

The crowd starts chanting, "We want the cup! We want the cup" with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd. Whoops! :rofl:

The Pens were clearly outplayed the entire game and scored on truly lucky bounces, no skill, no drive, no passion shown. Fleury had 2 Goalie Interference calls in overtime that even the announcers, who had been pulling for the Pens all night, said were utter BS. Both times the Detroit player was pushed into the goaltender by a Pens player yet we got the Penalty.

If you really feel that was one of the greatest games you've ever seen I feel bad for you. If a one sided contest decided by Reffing for the team who couldn't perform is a great game then you must love the 'New NHL.'

I'm not one who is going to normally rant about a loss, it's move on and win the next one, however I truly feel this game was unfairly reffed during overtime giving the Pen's the game.

(N) Can't win? Call in a Ref, works for the Pens! (N)

You're saying Pittsburgh's goals were 100% lucky and involved no skill, drive or passion? Someone's bitter.

yeah thats a little harsh, i think the pens owed it to fleury to win the game, and they came through when it mattered... which is all that counts.

Goal 1 : Bounced off a Detroit Stick, into the net.

Goal 2 : Detroit Player Shoots into into his own net attempting to clear

Goal 3 : Overdrive, Crash the Net, Pushed a Detroit Player into Chris Osgood opening a hole on the short side.

Goal 4 : Courtesy of the Officials and Bad Calls

So yes, I'm saying that there was no skill, drive, or passion there.

Yaya let's all blame the refs for Fleury's performance :rofl:

Look at it this way: how can you complain about having an extra hockey match in the series?

Fleury is the only Pen on the ice who was playing, I can respect his ability but the rest of his team was simply a laughing stock until they were given enough chances with the advantage to squeak one through. The series should have ended in Detroit last night, plain and simple.

Between the two teams I want Pen to win. But damn, this is so true. The only person who showed up to play was Fleury. Some of the worse hockey I've ever seen a team play. Shouldn't have ended last night with Detroit hosting the cup.

how is high sticking a bad call. Especially when the guy is bleeding. Yeah the reffing in the NHL sucks, but a player is 100 percent responsible for his stick and if he cuts the player with it he has to deal with the consequences. Yeah losing on a penalty kill in triple overtime for the stanley cup sucks, but they deserved the penatly. I hate the pens just as much as you do but a high stick is a high stick...

I'm more referencing the first two bad calls, I agree you have to call a High Stick but the other two wore down our defense for that call.

Greatest goaltending performances, if you didn't understand what I meant :unsure:

Outplaying means nothing, what matters is the score on the board at the end of the game. Goalies are part of a team too.

Does anyone know if the 2008 Draft is going to be broad casted on US Television? I've looked at Versus, and found nothing for the month of June but some crosby special :(!

I believe Versus showed the draft last year. I know I watched it on TV in California last year.

This year it should be on TV as well. If it's not on Versus it will be on NHL Network (DirecTV ch 215)

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
