It all about the LEAFS .. they aren't as injury plagued as they were last year .. last year Roberts, Corson, Sundin, Reichel, Renberg, and 6 other starters were out and they went all the ways to the Conference Semi's .. this year they are all back in Fine form .. theres a few injuryed leafs .. Nolan, Wesley, Housley, Gilmour .. but all these guys are all new guys and they'll be back anytime now .. so they will be much stronger than they were last year .. and with a Eddie kicking more ass then Cujo who was a major let down last playoffs, we are looking on bringing the Cup where it belongs .. In Toronto .. Stanley Cup #14 ... here we come !!!!?:cool::

Hey Toronto Fans.... 67....... 67..... 67......:shifty::

Hey Detroit Fans.... CUJO.... CUJO... CUJO...:shifty::

Islanders Over Ottawa in 6.:DD

We don't need any help for kicking out Ottawa we do it every season ..it happens so much its become a habit .. as for you the Islanders .. jus remember last season .. make sure Pecca, and whoever else we put on the shelf are ready for an ass kickin ... jus pray that Ottawa realizes it can't beat TO and lies dead to you, so you can be the next victim of the Freight Train named T.O.

hahahahaha ottawa...any team coming out of canada that has a good chance of the finals is the oilers :whistle:

as my personal favourite flyers...im sure they will do perfectly fine, no matter what people say. belfour has really been a fave player of mine for years now, and im hoping that his age caught up to him when the flyers play the leafs :D

and my second favourite team is the avs...no matter what anybody says avs win and get the job done. cant say the same for the wings who lack goalies...if legace doesnt start, they wont make it far, as they lost to my other fave team today(blackhawks, this one from back when belfour was around)...hehehehe :D

go go avs and flyers ;)

well i feel kinda left out here...all your teams made the playoffs :cry: ...i wouldnt mind seeing a canadian team in the finals...i guess i will kinda have to pull for the islanders since the thrashers basically let them get into the playoffs...if atlanta hadnt beaten the rangers 4 times during the season, the islanders would be at home...i normally hate to pull for new york teams but why not this once...

Islanders over Canucks in 7...triple overtime

I think the Blues will make it past the first round (that is if they remember how to win a game) but they are toast in the second round. I would love to be wrong but they still need a solid goalie and a healthy Pronger

As for the Wings, they better win this year. They have so many old players they will be playing on crutches and in wheelchairs soon.

:laugh:

Islanders got a gift. Too bad they are going to eat it in the first round!

The Islanders?! You must be kidding. They are only here because the Ranger's couldn't pull it together. :p

I forsee the Isles being SWEPT 1st round. First 4 game series of the playoffs.

Doesn't Matter even if they could pull it together, the last 2 games cara, the isles won today, so they would have been in no matter what.

The Rangers can go play golf and swallow the 70 Million Dollars that got them jack this season.

Rangers Suck, Go Islanders. :D

The Islanders are Playing Ottawa, Vancouver is in the WESTERN CONFERENCE :blink:

The Islanders Will Not get swept, will I remind you that the Regular Season Series was 1-2-1. So All You People with your brooms, can.. stickem up your pooper :D

Do I need to remind you that Alexei Yashin has gotten over 20 points in the last hmm 14 games. he's on a role, We also have one of these best, if not top defensive squads around.

Roman Hamrlik, Kenny Jonsson, Adrian Aucoin, Janne Ninnimaa i could go on. Anyway About Yashin he'll show it up for the Isles against the sens, cuz he knows he wants to show it off to his former team. The Last regular season game against the sens, we whipped their asses 5-2. As Long as the isles can play the way they're capable off, I'm sure we can finish them off.

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

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
