What has he won?

Games aren't Stanley Cups or Gold Medals.

But he has two gold medals, one from the 2008 World Championships, and another from the 2003 World Junior Championships. While Roberto Luongo has a gold medal from the Olympics, he has still failed to deliver his team a Stanley Cup. While the Washington Capitals being the number two team in the league behind the Penguins, stand a far better chance of attaining than the Canucks.

How is it that the Canucks do so well, but then frequently lose to the lower ranking teams?!

They suffer from 'It's in the Bag!' Syndrome, whereupon when the Canucks play a unskilled team or manage to hold a lead, the team relaxes, realizing that the game is in the bag and no further effort is required.

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.

Yeah even though I don't like Chicago, I don't want to see their players get injured like that.

For others who are praising the Caps, don't forget who is in Washington's division.

Washington 1st

Atlanta 9th

Florida 11th

Carolina 12th

Tampa Bay 14th

Worst division in hockey and the caps play against those teams 24 times per year.

Watch them choke in the playoffs AGAIN this year.

so what about those Coyotes.. lol Unbelievable.. lol.

It makes Wayne Gretzky look like a pretty poor coach. I'm sorry to slag on Captain Canada but the team did start to play well only after he left the team.

On an unrelated note, the Leafs have been better since they traded some of their crappier players to Calgary. They seem to have taken the losses with them.

I don't think so Fred.. Everyone can decipher it differently but I think he went out on a limb signing and cultivating all those young players, and now they are starting to play a lot better. They did go out and get some veterans too which helped and a great trade getting Wolski also contributed.

Yeah I am suprised that Burke managed to Snatch Phaneuf and Aulie out of that deal. I guess Calgary was probably desperate to make the playoffs. lol.

So Capitals beat the Penguins in all four games they've played? Crosby is a bitch....

Yeah in the regular season. Wait until the playoffs and Ovie & the caps will fold like a cheap suit when they play Pittsburgh again in the second round.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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"
