Crazy and embarrassing are the first two words to come to mind. Friday is one day short of exactly 9 weeks since the postseason started.
I don't remember a postseason ever taking this long.

Meh. It’s buzzing in Edmonton. Lining up game 6 for a Friday night is amazing for us although the consequence of having a potential game 7 on Monday sucks.

Watch them change the date if there's a game 7 to July 2 just to not mess with the draft and free agency day.

I researched.
2004 game 7 was two days away from exactly 9 weeks. Started April 7th and ended June 7th.
But that is likely due to the amount of game 7's.
For instance, the SCF started on May 25th and ended on said 7th June.
Only one two day break between games (4 & 5).

I think the two day break between games in the Final just became a thing the last few years. Maybe the last 5 or so.
When the Oilers were in it in 2006 it was only one day in between all games regardless of travel.

Yep.
And I don’t believe high conditioned hockey players would be affected by a one day break.
The NHL could fix this by starting the season September 29th, reduce two day breaks, and finish first of June.

I'm too old for this.
Here is a list of professional sports leagues by revenue (the only thing leagues care about).
1. NFL
2. MLB
3. NBA
4. Premier League
5. NHL
Calling the most successfull sports league in the world marginal, by any measure, is silly.

They'll make game 7 part of next year's all-star weekend
That'd still incredibly good for a "niche" league/sport

Just want to add my complaints to the scheduling. Panthers need to hurry up and end the season already

Bobrovsky can be a big part of that stopping McDavid.
Odds are still against Oilers to win 4 straight.

They only need to win 2 straight now.
Pro league. I think college football and basketball bring in more revenue than the NHL.
I'll take Bobrovsky over Skinner and not think twice.
That's still part of winning four straight and they are exactly half way there. The emotional intensity needed to be brought four straight games is usually to difficult to do. Its one of the reasons its not done often

Yeah, as an Oilers and Hemsky fan, I don't think I've ever been as excited about NHL hockey as that post-season. It was an incredible underdog story for the Oilers and solidified their place in Edmonton. I couldn't believe they went that far. This post-season is giving that one a run for its money though.

Florida is going to need to play one more tight defensive game and they need one more big game from Bobrovsky. The Oilers need to keep pushing the play offensively and not try to be fancy, just put the puck on net. The Oilers could really use a a big game from Draisaitl or hopefully two. The Oilers have done a great job getting themselves back into the series but there is no consolation prize for making it to game 6 or 7. They need to win 2 more games still. It should be a great finish to this series either way. It's only 2 games left, may as well put it all on the line now.
They're working on it. They promise to lose game 7 early and quick, rest assured.

That’s all revenues from all athletics, not one specific sport, and both genders.
Found NCAA basketball at 1.3 billion, haven’t found football yet.
So there behind still
Right now the Oilers need one win to reset this series. After that, everything is possible.

Draft is June 28th. If this goes 7, that would only leave 3 days in between game 7 and the draft....
F**king awful. Should at least be a week to give enough time to properly prep us up for the draft while still being able to celebrate the champs. Now it's all gonna be clustered in together....
Seriously I would love to be a fly on the wall when they decided this. For what reason did we need 2 days off between each finals game, and who in the world thought it would be a good idea to have draft and game 7 so close together?
Mind boggling.....borderline stupidity honestly. I don't understand.

Panthers add Nick Cousins to lineup for Game 6 vs. Oilers
Florida Panthers forward Nick Cousins will be in the team's lineup for Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers, head coach Paul Maurice told reporters Thursday.
Cousins. Really? Maurice has to be scared ...
