posty 2,296 Posted May 26, 2018 Probably great for the casual fan but what does it say about the league that a team comprised of unprotected veterans and rookies can compete for a cup year one? Sort of makes it all look like wild luck. I admittedly dont follow hockey though so Im asking how its possible when expansion teams in every other sport are garbage. The Stanley Cup playoffs is one of the most random playoffs that there is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted May 26, 2018 While it's not completely random, it's the most different sport in terms of style of play from regular season to playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Cavs/Celtics series had a 3 (!!) day break in a series where the 2 cities are about an hour plane flight away. Could be worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 815 Posted May 26, 2018 The Washington Capitals have waited 20 years to reach the Stanley Cup finals! The Vegas Knights waited 11 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
