A Big Mac combo used to be like $6.99 about 10 years ago. Now any combo at McDonalds is over $10.

 

I got a Subway sub the other day it was almost $17.

I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Holy f***, Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung, out 6 months, might end his career, sad news man as a fan.

You must have got a bag of chips and soft drink with that as well.

The cup final not starting till Saturday is stupid as f***, should've at least started tonight.

 

That's the NHL for you.

 

At least the Stanley Cup won't be played at the end of June!

A lot of people want to see the Stanley Cup finals wrapped up before June starts. They have to really re-vamp the entire schedule.

NHL season and Playoffs seem way too long. It would be nice to have the Stanley Cup wrapped up by the end of the May or beginning of June, but that's pretty much impossible given the amount of off days and scheduling. Heck even this season in April I was asking myself when the Playoffs start and the Leafs still had regular season games on April 11th and 13th and their first playoff game was on April 18th. Crazy! They need to try to start the Playoffs earlier at the beginning of April.

 

By time the Cup finishes mid-to-late June, then you have the NHL draft, free agency begins July 1st and by time September rolls around training camp and exhibition season begins.

Tough to tighten up the playoffs more than they already are. Most game are every other night. A few times there are 2 nights off. The only area where they can maybe tighten it up are between series...but they are at the mercy of US TV schedules there. Kinda out of the NHL's hands.

 

The only way to get the playoffs done sooner would be to shorten training camp, start the season sooner. Other than that, not much flexibility with schedules that I can see. Each team has a week during the season, that was bargained for, with no games/no practice...can't really get rid of those. More back to backs is something no organization really wants. Might come down to decreasing from a 82 game schedule but I can't see owners OKing less ticket revenue.

 

It pretty much is what it is.

Yeah only way is to start training camp and the season earlier.

 

They'll never shorten the season or make a Best of 5 series for Round 1. Owners would complain about lost revenue and NHL won't ever allow it. Plus R1 is excellent hockey, so you want to see the series go to 7 games.

 

I recall a lot of back-to-back games this season in the NHL. They'll never get rid of that one week off per team like you said.

 

Only thing is starting the regular season before the end of September, so shortening training camp and the exhibition season.

Put me 50 against that line on the series, please.

 

50 on the Cats, man.

 

Thanks Sil.

they should bring an nhl team back to quebec city or maybe halifax.

 

The gta could also support another hockey team as well like around hamilton or kitchener/waterloo/cambridge area, though doubt mlse would want that. Also, a lot of teams too close to each other - tor, buf, det, ott and mtl.

 

In the us, maybe salt lake city or milwaukee could be options.

 

no stop

I bet $20 on Vegas to win the Cup back in R2. Got 5.50 odds so payout is $110, though now the cash out is $70. Wondering if I should take the early cash out or just leave it?

Adin Hill is about to be a cup-winning goalie. This should be the death knell for people thinking goalies matter.
