too bad most of the winning teams players and captains are all canadians

and other then like 6 american cities no one even watches the game. i mean in florida they litterally give tickets away for free. just because they are winning in the states, doesn't mean they know anything. new jresey can't even sell out in the playoffs. Most of the teams down there are run by canadians... but this is a different topic all together.

As much as I hate to admit it, you're mostly right. I'm an American and I'm a huge hockey fan, and I'd be willing to bet that I know more about hockey than the average or above average Canadian fan. But unfortunately, big hockey fans like me arent exactly common here in the states. I know like 3 people that are hockey fans. It just doesnt get any respect down here. I've been to sports bars and asked to have a hockey game put on, and 95% of the time they'll say they dont carry them, and the rest of the time they'll just say no. My cable company doesnt even offer NHL Network. It sucks. But dont judge us all because most people here dont care about the sport. We may not have as many fans down here, but I can assure you that the level of appreciation and devotion of the die hard fans like me is right on par with your guys best.

With that said, go Team USA!

not doubting you at all bud, i know their are some hardcores down there too :) (you're from orange county? ducks fan? i love the ducks too! got the stanley cup banner in my room to prove it! and the duck players on the canadian team are all doing really well, getzlaf just notched his second!)

canada is doing well, and the slovaks are sure as hell playing better then russia.

anyone else surprised by the bad coaching by the european coaches? Not pullin kipper or nabokov early enough? dumb moves by both coaches

3-0!!!! Getzlaf is a beast!

I know... But the Slovaks definitely deserve the bronze, I hope they win over the Finns, despite how much I love the Finnish team. Sunday's game is gonna be a nailbiter. Good thing I'm planning on being plastered by the time it starts as 3PM EST, haha.

Canada's been doing great the last few days, we've got the most gold medals and we're sitting at 3rd in the medal race behind the U.S.A and Germany. Can't wait till the gold medal game starts!

The last few medal events have definitely been in favor of Canada's strong sports. Was kind of shocked the Swedish women knocked off the Canadians in curling. I stopped watching after the 6th end when it was 5-4 Canada, thought for sure they had it wrapped up as the Swedish looked pretty poor. Came back in the 10th and couldn't believe it.

Can't wait for Sunday. My hope for the game is that the US keeps it close. I'm a huge Sharks fan and a huge hockey fan. My feeling is that Luongo always was the better choice for goalie, even though Brodeur deserved the shot. Luongo at this point is much better and the Canadians will be fierce Sunday. Fortunately, Ryan Miller is playing fantastically and the guys are really creating chances. Should be fun!

Nice. Canada is leading in Gold medal counts. Maybe that will help the government when it is deciding to cut the budget for our Sports and Recreation programs.

Or it might tur out to be the oposite...all achivements have been reached and its time to save money :p

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
