Yeah, plus someone posted an in arena clip yesterday (May have been on Discord) and it sounds much crappier and obviously artificial.

Its a great thing they keep Mike Milbury around who literally nobody has ever liked to have terrible loving opinions about hockey and hockey people

Apparently it's a requirement for every national network to have somebody like that. See: Don Cherry

The only Canadian team that should win the Stanley Cup is the team that beat racism... The Calgary Flames.

Hiring a racist coach and only firing him because of public pressure means you beat racism? :thunk:

e: Oh wait, right, they didn't even fire him, they let him resign to save face, lmao

I feel safe in my initial impressions that the habs should just have tried to go for the better draft picks

I mean, same could be said for the Coyotes and Hawks, really.

(although in the Coyotes case it would be more for trying to retain their own pick)

When are they gonna schedule tomorrow's games?

They'll likely announce it after the Bruins-Canes game, since they would be playing tomorrow if Carolina wins.

I'm surprised they aren't starting them a bit earlier since they're the lone games in each city, but that's the NHL for you, I guess.

I'm confused... did they get rid of the bracket system?

It's conference re-seeding this year, which is admittedly my preferred playoff format and what I wish they'd go back to full-time.

I wonder if the NHL was required or it was just really important to have at least one game on NBC tomorrow, and since in the end nothing lined up naturally, this was the solution.

Could be both, but given how the NHL has scheduled back-to-backs in every series so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it's more them trying to get this done as quick as they can. On the bright side for Stars/Avs fans, this likely means they won't have a back-to-back in their series, but the other 3 will.

Habs are out.

East round 2 match-ups:
(1) PHI vs (7) NYI
(2) TB vs (4) BOS

I imagine that Bolts-Bruins will start first (likely Sunday).

The schedule for the 2nd round is up:
https://www.nhl.com/schedule

Of note, both East series have 2 back-to-backs (Games 2/3 and 6/7 for both), while the West series each only have 1 back-to-back (Games 5/6 for both). Last day it could go to is September 3rd.

Vegas is fun, I have no problems with them and I'd be perfectly fine with them winning the Cup.

Anyways, my series picks for this round (rip red X):
PHI in 6
BOS in 5

VGK in 5
COL in 5
