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.

calling a penalty when someone is on a breakaway, like yesterday, ****es me off. the refs are stupid. :angry:

hmm, i dunno bout that :p

there's one thing like calling a too many men penalty, it's cut and dry, there's either too many men or there isn't. it doesn't involve any judgement by the ref.

i could understand if it was a roughing, interference, or hooking/holding, where the ref needs to actually interpret what's going on.

Actually Bro, that is a very subjective penality.

All the opposing team has to do is shoot the puck into someone leaving the ice and they can whistle it, it's a well known 'Cheap Penality' practiced by many teams to get the man advantage. It's up to the Refs to see if a team is being slow at the change or if they are being setup by the other team.

i'm still wondering where your deep hatred for the avs came from...

well the teams i'd be happy with winning it would be the avs (of course), the wings, or the devils. those are the ONLY teams i'd be happy with winning the cup...

Did you just see that move from Dvorak in the Stars game to make it 3-2 Oilers??? Holy ****.

that was an incredible move...to go along with an incredible game...the 4 minutes or so where the score went from 1-0 dallas to 3-2 edmonton were insane...thats what playoff hockey is about...i was almost pulling for dallas to tie it up so the game could keep going a little bit longer, but oh well...the other game today wasnt as good...boston is clearly overmatched...

Dallas In 5 :yes:

so much for that theory ;)

hehe, that move was tight. of course, i watched the first two periods, then i left and only caught the last 3 minutes of the third :(

i really hope the stars, devils, and wings don't win the cup. they need to share.

    • 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"
