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)

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
