i agree, though i dont pay much attention to the commentary during intermission, partially because i dont care about the opinions of coaches and players that were never good players to begin with. Commentary is a job anyone with decent knowledge of the game can do.

Anaheim is like sleeper car, with a 454 under the hood with a supercharger in a body of a chevy 4 door... they have great talent in Kariya, Ozolinsh, Neidermayer and Oates. As well as 2nd line players (not superstars) that compliment and stand out when the future hall of famers arent on the ice. ie: sykora, thomas, kjellberg, ruccin, carney, salei etc. There is no reason why Anaheim shouldn't be where they are today, im surprised they were so overlooked during the regular season. Even i made that mistake. As a canadian in LA , its great to see hockey being so popular now. Anaheim deserves everything they've acheived so far. and JS Jiguere is just out of this world

I agree with how the Ducks get no respect, and its true. However, TSN covers the Anaheim/Dallas series and they give the Ducks some of the credit they deserve. It is really annoying listening to commentators yap about how good the "expected" team is playing inspite of its evident beating, when clearly the "underdog" is playing better hockey but the commentators don't want to talk about it.

I'm glad Anaheim is winning, because they deserve it... They're playing with heart, whereas Dallas is just playing with money.

I watched the ducks play dallas today on both tsn after listening to abc's telecasters. I feel sorry for americans because the telecasters on every station are complete morons. They don't know the slightest thing about hockey. I thought CBC was awfull. Nothing beats cknw 98 though.

actually, even though they dont know who maurice richard was, the ESPN/ABC guys make the game sound more interesting instead of the CBC guys who talk about how hockey was once played with newspapers rolled up as shin pads... its time to get with the times, the ESPN announcers make the game fun'er

Ferrero is talking head. :p Total moron in my book. Now Melrose and Panger are where it's at. ;)

About the Ducks... They don't deserve respect, they are yet another 'One Shot Wonder' team which will be so impressive this year, get everyones attention, then die a quick and painless death next season. :p Examples? Iginla. Was hotter than the fires of hell and now, he's a "Igin....who?"

Teams who have respect have earned it over many years of good, hard, play. Detroit, Dallas, Colorado, Toronto, Montreal... True Hockey Cities. (Note, those are the ones off the cuff, doesn't mean there aren't quite a few more.)

The Disney Ducks haven't paid their dues yet, let them play at this level for 3 more years then talk to me about respect.

Ducks Suck

Plain and simple, and once their nuclear goalie cools down a bit they will be NOTHING.

i'm by no means a big iginla fan, but this year he played most of the year with an injury. that's why he didn't do too well. near the end of the year he recovered and played very well. as well as he did last year

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
