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.

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.

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.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
