^ Story?

It's a skills competition similar to the All-Stars skills competition but this one was specific to Montreal players. Toronto hosts a similar night as well. The two guys in the video hit all four targets each. Somewhat surprisingly, most NHL players cannot do that on a regular basis even though it looks easy enough.

looks easy, but metropolit did it with slap shots, which is pretty amazing... especially the last shot which was a one timer.

This event was the habs open practise.

Aww crap. Now that Anderson is out the avs will have to rely on Budaj to backstop them...

Budaj put up a hell of a game, especially against Pit, I was shocked.

Sucks we lost though, especially with that no goal call that was clearly BS. We deserved at least a point in my opinion.

It's been a pretty good season so far, and with the Olympics, well that just makes it a bit sweeter. For a North American like myself on the West Coast it'll be nice to see the games without tape delay or at some weird time. Now if only the Sharks can only not embarrass themselves in the post-season...

I almost choked when I looked at the Ottawa-Minnesota stats.

The Ottawa goaltender was listed as M. Brodeur and I was thinking, "Did I not hear about the trade of the century?"

Apparently it is a "Mike Brodeur" rather than the slightly more famous Martin.

He's some 7th round pick or something of that nature.

I believe that TSN was being cheeky about it, too.

Their online headline for the story was "Brodeur earns first career win...". I had to check whether it was April Fools' or not.

    • 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"
