GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 - Playoffs edition

Per Wikipedia:

The NHL officially began referring to the championship series as a singular "Final" circa 2006. However, various North American media still continue to refer to it as plural "Finals", similar to the NBA Finals.

No link is provided though to support the claim.

Sounds correct. I think they wanted to distinguish the NHL from the NBA. And make it grammatically correct.

This is interesting on ESPN:

Stanley Cup Final but Conference Finals. OK, you say there is more than 1 conference final? Well there is more than 1 first round too. So that should be First Rounds?

FInals always made more sense to me because it's a 7 game series and not a 1 game final.

Your wish is granted

Avs finally score!

Or finallys.

Who doesn't want to watch a five minute officials conference?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Your wish is granted

I wonder if it will work for another player

Waiting for Rantanen to do something....

(Also, what a play by Byram)

In the 90s they actually branded it as the Stanley Cup Championship.

I wouldn't have called that. Good goal.

Love seeing Maroon whine. Lehkonen is a clutch player

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tampa crying because Bellemare tried to sell a call. The ol chicken winging the stick to draw a hooking penalty

Too bad.

 

[Stephen]

Tampa does not allow a goal without whining like a 10 year old who needs a timeout. Give it a break, they literally gave you a basketball foul to win the Toronto series.

Too bad.

Shoulda been a call, just on them for holding the stick

Maroon's a joke

 

[socko]

This has been the best game of the series.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Beautiful!

ive never seen anything like this, bunch of sore losers,,, just whine and whine, and maroon slashing Manson in the leg was awful dirty

 

[bax]

Tampa getting screwed by the refs makes me smile.

 

[CuuuJooo]

I swear that every time the opposition scores a goal, the camera pans to Cooper and the assistant coaches checking to see if there’s something they can complain about.

[Seath The Scaleless]

MacKinnon has been a monster this period. Long overdue

Byram is having another great game.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Man Tampa gooning it up big time. It’s gonna cost them. Sensing a Naz goal coming.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Now THAT should always be called.......usually.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL what a dumb play

Avs better score

 

[Cleetus]

sheesh nice hit from Behind by McDonagh

 

[CuuuJooo]

Did the Tampa player just shoot the puck at the ref after that very deserved penalty call???

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

What a dirty dirty hit. Good to see Helm is ok
