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.:pp? Examples?? Iginla.? Was hotter than the fires of hell and now, he's a "Igin....who?"

You have absolutley no idea what the hell you are talking about, the Ducks are not a one hit wonder. Everyone you see on the team now will be back, except maybe Steve Thomas and Sandis Ozolinsh. Ozolinsh may come back if they pay him right, but someone like Detroit will want him too. And gee, Teemu Selanne is coming back to Anaheim next year as well. In '97 and '99 they only had Kariya and Selanne, they made the playoffs. They will be in the finals next year, Sykora, Oates, Kariya, Selanne, Chistov, Krog, Leclrec and the list goes on. They have the depth, goaltending and a top 5 defense.

Your Iginla argument is pointless, no one scores 50 goals every year. Left wing locks, traps and special coverage of players happens. You have obviously never played the game, it is very easy to shadow a single player. The only consistant players were Mario Lemiuex and Gretzky. Anaheim is obviously for real, everyone on this board knows that if they beat Dallas, it is a free ticket to the finals. New Jersey is the only team that has a chance in hell to shut them down. So hopefully you are a Red Wings or Stars fan, that way you can eat your words, because you honestly have no clue on what your talking about.

hey it ain't over for Dallas. don't count them out so quick. :(

thats exactly what everyone was saying about detroit when they went back to anaheim for game 3...dallas has as good of a chance as anyone to come back but if they dont win game 3 its over

yeah baby. flyers rockin' it in ottawa. can't wait for game 3 in philly :)

bayrider: covering the puck in the crease, by anyone but the goalie, should be a penalty shot. not sure about if it just touches your hand. i know they recently changed it to allow hand passes when you are in your own end, but i'm not sure if that applies to inside the crease or not.

I'd expect there to be a delay of game if a player tries and covers the puck. There's too many rules nowadays anyways.

Check this out....

RK  PLAYER  TEAM  GP  MAJORS  MINOR  PIM

1  TODD BERTUZZI  VAN  9  0  15  50

2  DERIAN HATCHER  DAL  7  1  4  33

3  DALLAS DRAKE  STL  7  1  4  23

3? DALLAS DRAKE? STL? 7? 1? 4? 23

at least they arent calling too many penalties at critical points in the game...i.e. the NBA...in that dallas/anaheim game that went into 5OT, only one penalty was called in the overtimes...and it came during the first one...overall, i think the refereeing has been fairly decent

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
