Hey now, he has vast experience with the AHL with all that time spent working with the Oilers.

/that article was hockey talk in a nutshell ... anytime “binomial distribution” and “youve got to really want it” are in the same article youre hitting both sides lmao

really thought it would be the bruins/delaware north who were gonna somehow pull this shit lol


/i was today years old when i found out “hotel x” was actually named hotel x and not just a term being used to keep the players location on the down low

What is the logic to the scheduling?

DAL-COL Game 7 is today at 4 pm EDT? And VGK-VCR goes at 9pm EDT, less thatn 24 hours after Game 6?

Glad I looked, would have missed at least one of these if I hadnt.

There's a horsey race tomorrow I hear, so get your mint julip and best chapeau out Dave

 

[jstewismybastardson]

btw the “logic” might be that they dont want west teams to have an unfair advantage (???? lol) as the east teams have to travel to edmonton and play the next day

Yup. NHL plays their playoffs in September and they're still getting bumped by NBC for midgets on horseback lol

I had heard on the broadcast last night that the canucks tried to get game 7 moved to Saturday,
and even offered to do Game 1 of the next round (if applicable) on Sunday to keep scheduling intact.

but yeah, not having a game 7 on a Saturday night is another example of the US market being way more important than Canada.

Canucks offered to play game 1 and 2 of next series (if they made it) back to back

/disregard ...my bad... what u said

It doesn't even make sense - it's a low-viewership game for the US market regardless. Put it on NBCSN and be done with it.

I would have put PHI-NYI at 7 EST tonight then COL-DAL at 9:45 EST then have VGK-VAN tomorrow night after the Derby, but that makes too much sense for the NHL apparently.
