Nothing is really lucky, he saw it coming right at the stick, he should have simply put his pad down more. Plus NJ had plenty of chances in OT and regulation for that matter. Scott Stevens, no matter how much he says he isn't, is hurting and bruised. Rob Niedermayer did a great job banging him around, he can't take 10+ solid hits every night. Granted he is probably the greatest defensive defensemen this side of Vladimir Konstantinov, it will take a toll on him. I honestly think the Ducks will win game 4.

The Ducks need to follow up a huge overtime win at home with a nice commanding home victory in game four. If they go down 3-1, I doubt they'll be able to make it back, because even Ottawa couldn't do it. Giguere needs to come up with a huge game and hope the offense in on and Broduer is off all night long, or else the Ducks will be in for a long night. You do not want to go back to New Jersey down 3-1.

Ever.

after 3 games...the series could be either 3-0 or 2-1...i think 2-1 is much more of a series than 3-0.. now..after tomorrows game, if it is 3-1, your point will be taken

2-1 is still not a freaken series.

lol... i don't take your point, because I disagree.

what is 2-1? then its 3-1 and your "We have a series" crap is just crap.

you don't have a real series until its tied again.

because once its tied to 2-2 the series turns into a best of 3. which is a real series.

the reason i said "we have a series" is because we do, when you compare it to the alternative...it was 2 games to none with the ducks having not scored a goal yet. now it is 2-1 and the ducks can tie the series tonight with a win tomorrow at home...lets say new jersey wins that game last night.. then its 3-0 and all drama is lost... i realize that the series isnt tied, and that if new jersey wins tomorrow, then my statement is void...but after 3 games, 2-1 is a series, especially when you consider the alternative

CatnipOligarthy,

If it counts for anything I know exactly what you're talking about. You're trying to say that we have two outcomes after game three, 3-0 and 2-1, thus, 2-1 is a much better series then 3-0, hence you saying "we have a series". Sure, it could be taken wrong as it's not tied yet, but I tend to agree with what you said.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
