Four days ago, nhl.com posted this news story:

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=664844

Summary - According to Brian Compton, the nhl.com Deputy Managing Editor, Michel Therrien gets nhl.com's nod as the Jack Adams Trophy Winner. The exact quote:

"At the end of the day, though, the bulk of credit has to go to coach Michel Therrien. That's why, at the three-quarter mark of the schedule, Therrien has earned NHL.com's nod for the Jack Adams Trophy."

Today, nhl.com posts this news story:

Summary - "The Great 8 Debate" on who nhl.com thinks will win the Jack Adams Trophy. Michel Therrien isn't even MENTIONED in the article.

How screwed up is nhl.com?

I don't have the words to describe how funny this is, make sure you don't have to pee before you watch it.

I just got an update on my phone from NHL Gamecentre and it stated that the Pittsburgh Penguins have decreed that Sidney Crosby will be out INDEFINITELY!!! Do you think he may have suffered another concussion?

There are 5 current NHL franchises that did not originate in the NHL. I have 10 points for whoever can name all of them. You MUST name the team as it is known today, and it must be the original franchise that started outside of the NHL. Good Luck! :D

My picks would be:

AFC:

North - Steelers

South - Texans

East - Patriots

West - Broncos

Wildcard 1 - Ravens

Wildcard 2 - Dolphins

NFC:

North - Bears

South - Falcons

East - Giants

West - 49ers

Wildcard 1 - Packers

Wildcard 2 - Vikings

The NFC is tough with so many teams that look awesome one week and mediocre the next.

I discovered by chance that 403 - Forbidden errors can be caused by download accelerators like the firedownload add-on for Firefox. Does anyone else have this problem?

I already know the answer but I'm asking this question for the benefit of someone else. I know what the correct answer is but I thought if everyone else agreed that he might be more willing to listen:

Option 1:

Option 2:

As I said, I already know the answer to this so don't even think of trying to post BS...lol

I mean, after having lost so many Grey Cups, does this win mean redemption for the Alouettes?

My dream has been to see the CFL get bigger without going to the USA to do it. Here is my vision:

Eastern Conference

St. Lawrence Division:

Halifax Schooners / Moncton Acadiens

Montreal Alouettes

Quebec Citadels

St. John's Anglers

Great Lakes Division:

Toronto Argonauts

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Ottawa Rough Riders

Windsor V8's / London Monarchs

Western Conference

Prairie Division:

Brandon Combines

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Regina Roughriders

Saskatoon Harvesters

Rocky Mountain Division:

Vancouver Lions

Calgary Stampeders

Edmonton Eskimos

Victoria Orcas

Sure, it's probably a pipe dream (especially since Brandon is WAY too small) but it would be cool wouldn't it?

Dell Latitude C610 (made in 2001):

CPU: Intel Pentium-III Mobile 1.2GHz

RAM: 512MB PC100 SDRAM

Graphics: ATi Mobility Radeon M6 w/16MB dedicated RAM (non-changeable)

Hitachi 32GB Ultra ATA-100 IDE Hard Drive at 4200RPM

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

Apparently this CPU will be released on April 26, 2010. It seems poised to crush all the LGA 1156 CPUs from Intel with its 2 extra cores and $199USD price tag. This CPU will drop right in to all AM2+ and AM3 sockets with a possibility that the mobo will need a BIOS update. Since the least expensive AM3 board with dual-crossfire is the ASRock M3A770DE for $60 (and 4 RAM slots), would it be worth it to you to make the switch to AMD for only $260? (less if you already have an AM2+/AM3 mobo)

Date of release:

I came across some short video clips of the "tea-baggers" and they really do remind me of the Nazis in the way they act and the way they try to spread proapaganda. Just watch these and be amazed. I expect Republicans to be just as appalled as Democrats because NEITHER side likes the Nazis.

Now something to compare them to:

I found the similarities REALLY disturbing, I'm sure you will too. If you don't watch the videos, don't bother answering, you'll look like an idiot and I'll ignore you.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_at_the_200...

"In the final, Canada outplayed USA despite being called for 13 penalties by the American referee (the Americans received four penalties). As a result, the game is considered somewhat controversial to many Canadian fans."

I mean, come on! I'm SUUURE that they are capable of being THAT impartial....

muahahahahahaha!!!!

I keep hearing some Americans here crying about how Canada ignores their hockey and how we think we're so superior. I must admit they have a point. However, I'll make a point of my own that's been true for decades that the Americans didn't consider. Do you remember how disgraceful most Americans were in their treatment of the US Canadian football teams when the CFL tried US expansion? (With apologies to Baltimore who truly embraced their team and showed so much class, much respect to Baltimore.) So many Americans were disgusting in their active ignorance and desire for those teams to fail even to the point of immediately putting an NFL team in Baltimore when they saw how successful that team was just to get the CFL team out of there. Not to mention that some Americans think that the CFL is of such poor quality that a division-1 NCAA team could defeat a pro CFL team(1). Most of the Americans have always thought of Canadian football as a joke as only 1 city out of 5 actually supported their team. That means 80% of Americans completely ignored or dissed Canadian football(2). And yet, they cry about us...

In spite of such childish behaviour ON BOTH SIDES, let's be friends and make a deal.

If Americans want Canada to appreciate American hockey and not be constantly putting it down and disrespecting it, then the USA has to show the same courtesy to Canadian football. Sound fair to you? I encourage people who are not Canadian or American to please answer as well because those answers will be objective. Any information you need will be available at the included link. Thank you. :-)

Today Finland and Slovakia play for Bronze. I happen to believe that Slovakia is going to pummel Finland as much as I like Finland. If they do, will that worry the US team, knowing that they defeated a much weaker team, or if Finland pummels Slovakia, will that worry Team Canada?

I asked this in Desktops as well but I feel that it is just as applicable here.

You realize that at 15h30 EST (3:30pm) that Canada and the USA face-off in the women's gold medal game right?
