The gap between the end of the third round and starting the finals, plus the extra days to get it to a Saturday night game makes it awful easy to lose interest. This. The Final should have started two or three days after the ECF concluded, then run every other night. Starting 5/25, they'd have already played Game 6* by now. Once Memorial Day weekend happens, I'm almost never home on the weekends. I'm still interested, but haven't seen an entire game yet. Vegas losing their wheels has me increasingly disinterested, however. This was a fun series to start that has become increasingly lopsided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had no walls and the student league had it's games late at night after all other activities were done. Needless to say there was no summer skating.

MickinMD ★ Posted June 7, 2018 Share #365 Posted June 7, 2018 I haven't been heavily into hockey since the old minor-league that the Baltimore Clippers were in folded. Back in the 1960's, NBA Baltimore Bullets center Wes Unseld was asked what the team had to do to sell out their playoff games. He replied, "We could advertise it as a Clippers game." With the Washington Capitals one game removed from winning the Stanley Cup, I may get back into it next season - the Capitol One Arena is less than an hour from my house and you can prepay & reserve parking a block away online for about $20 - which is cheap for D.C.

Zephyr Posted June 8, 2018 Share #366 Posted June 8, 2018 Caps win in 5. Ovi wins the Conn Smythe. Ovi shows his true colours and class before the game even started by intentionally crossing centre to poke Fleury to get him off his game. The warmup is a weird time because both teams are on the ice and the refs are not. There is a code among the players as to the conduct during this time, and he broke it.

Always will be. Gifted shooter, but a douche. The whole team follows his lead. I’m a little mad that I don’t hate Oshie as much today after his speech about his dad.

Prophet Zacharia Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share #388 Posted May 4, 2022 Couple of interesting games so far. Toronto pounded the Bolts in game 1. Too soon to say, but Tampa looked tired. Is the grind of a regular season having to be played before the playoffs too much for them? Washington refused to roll over, taking game 1 in Florida. Penguins showed way more life and found better goal tending than I expected, winning at the Garden in 3OT. Sid’s now 3 points behind Paul Coffey for 6th all time playoff scoring, and 8 points back of Jagr in fifth. Kings allow McDavid a couple of PP points, but Mike Smith turns the puck over late in the 3rd period, allowing LA to win game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share #393 Posted May 8, 2022 Capitals win big at home versus Fla, go up in the series 2-1. Penguins do similarly, take the Rangers out 7-4 in a rollercoaster of a game. Go up 2-1 on the series. Avs keep rolling. Boston takes their first at home to hang in, down 2-1. Toronto wins at Tampa to go up 2-1. Good hockey being played. I think the Wild/Blues tied at 1-1, as are Stars/Calgary. Edm up 2-1 at LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other series has a blow out one way followed by the next game being a strong game for the other team. My pool picks were low so I ended up banking on a couple upsets to get anywhere. Boston can take that series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
