best news all year concerning the canadiens

Now what to do with the Gomez contract?....

That was Gainey's biggest mistake. He's a good guy, but the moves he made as a GM were suspect at best.

Good luck to the new GM :)

getting rid of koivu was what ****ed off most hab fans... and the gomez was just a kick in the groin. He's good, but not 7.5 million good.

Few players are worth that much.

I wish the Canucks had signed Gaborik in the offseason. Then we could really content for a cup.

I still think Vancouver needs one more player to be a real cup contender, but Luongo does have to play better.

canucks will always be one player away. for whatever reason they can never get that guy, and they need the sisters to show up in the playoffs for once...

crazy hab vs caps game tonight. Goodbye winning stream for washington :)

Glad he's ok

You're not supposed to block shots when you have that much space between you and the shooter. It always happens though, most of the time the player doesn't get injured.

That's scary, guys like Georges are good hard working players, you hate to see them injured.

Ovechkin has been suspended for two games. On one hand, it is surprising considering that he is a superstar and the NHL is generally lenient, but on the other hand, it is his third game misconduct this year.

I would have to agree with the suspension, although somewhat for different reasons. I disagree with the basis of injury-based punishment, where someone whose victim is unharmed will often not even receive a penalty. To rid the league of dangerous plays, there needs to be a consistent policy on how to punish players who endanger their opponents, so as to prevent the acts. Similarly, that Ovechkin has been kicked out of games before this year is an excellent precedent to issue a suspension.

^ my only beef is why did lapierre get four games and ovie only two?

I assume it is because one makes the NHL money and other does not (make as much).

Not that I agree with it. But at the very least Ovechkin did get a suspension. So, while not equal, some steps were made regardless of star status.

How much longer is it going to take people to realize what I did a while ago?

OVECHKIN IS A DIRTY PLAYER.

look at the evidence, hits from behind, slewfoots, knees.. What else do people need to realize this. Their love for his 'passion' has blinded everyone.

He wins games, um who cares?

Brian Campbell? The Chicago Blackhawks? The people of Chicago, hoping for the first Stanley Cup for their city in 49 years? In general, hockey fans who want a clean game with players not getting hurt.

Those who do not care are those who profit from Ovechkin.

If Chicago wins, then Washington can't, and that means Ovechkin isn't doing his job. So as long as Chicago and every other team is losing, then Ovechkin is doing everything right. Sports are competitive, to complain that it's not fair because someone is willing to take a penalty, which it should have been, is naive at best.

i wouldn't call him dirty. just reckless/an idiot...

It's not the fact that he's willing to take a penalty, it's the fact that his hits are extremely sloppy, the knee on knee, the hits from behind. There is no place in hockey for that kind of a player.

I didn't say it wasn't fair. Fairness has nothing to do with it.

What I said was that the NHL must avoid player injuries, and if a player like Alexander Ovechkin continues to cause injuries to other players, then he must face punishment. The safety of any player is one of the most important things that the league must deal with. Competition? Yes, absolutely! But not when people are getting hurt, whether it is because of reckless play or outright dirty hits.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
