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

Eastern Conference:

Ottawa vs. NY Islanders - Ottawa in 4 .. bring out the brooms.....sweeep

New Jersey vs. Boston - NJ in 5 ..boston will sneek away with one, but there worthless goaltendin will kill them

Tampa Bay vs. Washington - Capz in 6 ..dunno bout this one .. who really cares .. they both will lose in the 2nd round ..givin it to Capz cuz of experience .. this one will be a close series..

Philly vs. Toronto - Toronto in 6 ..yes Toronto kicks ass but they happen to slip once once in a while, they will win the series in 6 .. no worries

Western Conference:

Dallas vs. Edmonton - Dallas in 5 ... Oilers will sneek away with one, just barely...

Detriot vs Anahiem - Detroit in 5 ... the wings tend to start off slow .. they will lose one game

Colorodo vs. Minnesota - Avz in 6 ...most games will be tight ...and real close ..

Vancouver vs. St. Louis - Nucks in 6 ..yes folks nucks will make it to the 2nd round for the first time in a long time .. since '94/95 i think ..who knows .. all b/c St.Louis has pathetic goaltending

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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
