After blowing 3-0 series lead and losing the cup, Paul Maurice will be fired. I mean how quickly the shine came off that guy.
2023-24 NHL Playoff predictions
- Thread starter tml
- Start date
Edmonton's PK has been spectacular the whole series. Their bottom six has looked very good. Particularly Connor Brown. Another ex Leaf who could be hoisting the cup. Like Vegas last season Florida has not been able to bully Edmonton. Even without Kane.
The issue I have is how long it is taking...16 days between game 1 and game 7 is too long, what's with the 3 game breaks a couple of times between games.
The flight time between Miami and Edmonton is almost 7 hours so travel is an entire day, plus they build in a rest/practice day.
Hence when they switch cities there are 72 hours between games.
The season takes too long. They should start the regular season late September/early October and finish by the end of May but it'll never happen. 25 owners in the U.S. don't want competition from the early NFL season and MLB playoffs both at the same time.
7 hours is not an entire day and they don’t need an entire day to rest… I bet the players would like to move it along quicker.
Jim Montgomery isn’t a fan of 3-day breaks…
I remember when the playoff would start they'd play the first four games in 5 days. Nobody complained, no decrease in effort or energy and the hockey was tough and intense.
They only stretch it out to make the season longer and generate more interest/revenue.
Man...I feel bad for the Oiler fans.
Hope they reveal what Draisaitl's injury status was. He was labouring out there.
The NHL playoffs are such a grind. Physically exhausting. Hardest team trophy to win in sports is the Stanley Cup.
