Now, now guys. I've actually just been sitting back collecting names to ban. ;)

Special Dispensation from Neobond to ban all you naysayers. ;)

On a real note. Was spending the evening with my Significant other shopping for a new TV. Damn I wish I was joking. :: LOL ::

The new one should withstand a puck thrown at it according to the salesman.

You have no idea how cool this thing is. :) I think out the door I ended up spending about $4,200 with the converters and all that but it's a hell of an upgrade from my 32" one. :) Funny thing is, with the converter is does HDTV with no problems, odd they would say it doesn't.

As for my outlook on the Wings? Check my editorial at the begining of this thread. ;)

I've discussed the sticky possbility with an Admin, they didn't think so because Hockey isn't entirely universal. So, we'll just keep it sticky with posts and if things continue on, I'll revisit the issue. :)

About the TV, just finished watching Red Planet on Sci-Fi...

DAMN this thing is nice. ;)

Thinking about moving the iMac in there and hooking it up to the VGA port. ;)

:laugh: haha, i'm actually surprised this thread is already 14 pages. good to see so many hockey fans on neowin. i always thought americans barely noticed hockey existed but this is proving me wrong. up here in canada hockey means so much to us, i would say even more than baseball to americans. :p we're STILL celebrating our olympic gold medal win. lol, u can get dvd's of it in cereal. but we're happy to share the great canadian game with u. eh?

they played awesome tonight but the officiating still sucked... they called way too many penalties

The officiating did suck for both games. Hopefully the refs get the memo that hockey is a contact sport. Cloutier really saved your guy's butt in the 3rd period. Hopefully the refs will let both teams play the rest of the series. Go blues!!!

My question is...

When has the officiating in the NHL NOT sucked. :p

It's a trend lately, the ref's must be paid by the Whistle Blow. :p

They blow it once, they get 500 bucks. Twice, 1000... and so on.

I mean, you DON'T call too many men on the ice in the third period of a PLAYOFF game.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
