Series Talk: Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Second Round

[silverfish]

I mean, I get it, I really do, but it is so f***ing stupid that the NHL is out here taking two nights off in the middle of the playoffs. I get that they never start the next round before the previous round finishes, but taking two days off the only time a year you have a large audience nationally is dumb.

Just f***ing start Caps/TBL tomorrow.

It is equally as idiotic to start one round before another ends. Hopefully it NEVER happens.

I basically agree. I'm just annoyed.

I feel you. I am as well.

Poor timing on the two days off between G6 and G7 for this NSH/WPG series.

I just remember when we had to have a 2 day break before Game 7 because Billy Joel wouldn't reschedule his concert, and we all know how that ended up. Tampa's players were battling the flu bug as well.

Is the NHL the NBA? No. Does the MLB?

MLB only has 3 rounds and the 1st round is a best of 5. There's much less games and a need to do so.

I'm happy for Ovi for finally getting a trip to the conference finals. I feel like he gets a raw deal in terms of the constant comparisons to Crosby and what not. And great to see Kuznetsov come up in a big spot.

But I think Tampa beats the Capitals.

I am aware. That wasn't the question I asked though. Does the MLB do it?

No, but maybe they would if it was 16 teams and 4 rounds of playoffs. By the time series become 7 games, the next round is the WS so you can't even do it.

Doc's entire call of that game was a masterpiece.

Beautiful piece of work on that PBP. <3 Emrick

"Drive by Girardi, save, rebound, SCOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEEEEEE!!!!! Stepan! In overtime! The rangers move on to Tampa!"

 

[Trxjw]

I am so, so happy that the Pens lost. The smug over this city would have been unbearable if they had won 3 in a row.

Idk why but I have to say that analysis, relationships and conclusions are more important. Facts can be interpreted in wildly different ways
