Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[Ben Grimm]

The teams and the league have stretched out the SCF so much that if they cancelled game 7, I wouldn't care.

It's ridiculous how drawn out this has been.

As for the Brassard retirement, that guy was an awesome Ranger.

 

[Bob Richards]

Derrick Brassard is one of my favorite rangers ever.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Brass was one of the few guys who was traded here and exceeded expectations.

Was glad to see him showing up at the Garden on occasion during this last run.

I’m sure this was discussed elsewhere in the thread, but it seems like a pretty stupid decision and missed opportunity to have Game 7 on a Monday instead of Sunday….especially with the amount of stories developing around this series.

I think it's silly that the NBA started their season after the NHL did and here we still are just 1 week shy of July.

Well, considering ABC had BOTH the NBA and NHL Finals, and had the NBA Finals gone to a Game 7, it would have been played on Sunday...

Knoblauch has made great adjustments all series long. Laviolette's biggest adjustment was dicking with the lines.

The NHL ceded Friday night to the NBA, because of TV partners.

The NHL rarely plays Sunday night anymore because expansion markets whined about it.

The NHL gives every team a weeklong bye during the season, along with 4 and 5 days off randomly throughout the season.

The NBA routinely has teams playing 3 in 4 nights. NHL rarely does that anymore, but there are 5 in 7 days thrown in between 4 days off.

The NHL has blown the regular season schedule out about two weeks because of those little tweaks.

This year, had the NBA Finals go 7 games, Game 7 would have been last night.

No matter what happens, this is the last day of the season, and we all can move on.

Team that scores first will win this game

Gonna end up being an ugly contract by year 2 if he gets what he's been rumored to get.

He played better than the numbers indicated this year but he had been in a bit of a slide before that. Whether or not that was a temporary contract year bump remains to be seen but if its like 7x7 or more it's going to be a horrendous contract.

FLorida needs to score first to even have a chance.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Let's not oversell Knoblauch's coaching performance here. Any one of us could find wins with the kind of offense he has.

Marner to Utah? Is that just a rumor or is that confirmed?

Marner to Utah? Is that just a rumor or is that confirmed?

I saw some horrendous mock trade for him where the Leafs got 150c on the dollar for Marner a few days ago. They suggested Keller, Crouse, and whatever goalie they had last year.

Completely fake.

Setting up a Game 7 to be a Monday night is also a horrible idea.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

I had said before this series started and when the ECF ended - so it isn't revisionist simply because Edmonton managed to go 3-3 - all this garbage about Florida being the class of the league was as much Ranger fans trying to cope with more failure of this core of players.

They may go and win a one off game to win a Championship, they might not, however, they are a physical, pain-in-the-ass team who were ably assisted by most of our highest paid players going MIA.

I actually thought Edmonton would have been a much better match-up for them than Dallas.

Overall, can't help but feel this season has been a massive missed opportunity with the way things panned out.
