NHL OT: NHL Playoffs

I think it's about as good as it can get in this scenario - nothing will be perfect.

Hoping my Bolts don't lay another gigantic egg this year... I'm just glad they get a shot at redemption.

Glad there are Bolts fans on here. How ironic would it be if they get a 1 seed and played Columbus? Glad Stammer and all the d men are back healthy.
 
I am fine with moving directly to the Stanley Cup Finals, Blues vs. Bruins in a rematch. Blues make it 2 in a row.
 
Stars fan here. Took my daughter to the Winter Classic this past year. The atmosphere was AMAZING.

Most important question, will NHL Center Ice broadcast all of the games without making you purchase a new package?

As a diehard Habs fan, I am so thrilled to see the team make it to the playoffs! Should the NHL stuck with the 16 teams playoffs plan, the Habs would not made it.

Yzerman was the reason I became a Lightning fan. He was my favorite player growing up and I watched his Red Wing teams dominate when the Hawks sucked and I loved all the moves he made as Tampa's GM. Sucks he left for Detroit but I get it.

Those Detroit teams were amazing. Especially with Scotty Bowman at the helm.

Enjoy it. It's the only time in the next decade they will be in the playoffs. Also, Max Domi will never be half the man his daddy is. GO LEAFS GO

I haven’t read into who is broadcasting the games. Is NBC, NHL TV, NBCSN not putting them on their stations?

With Kuchi mane, Stammer, Ty Johnson, Awesome Matthews, Marner & Nylander in the same game there is not a more entertaining matchup in the entire league. I love watching the Leafs play the Lightning. Even though the Bolts have gotten the better of the Good Guys.

That’d be a **** of a matchup and it was looking that way before the season got put on hold.

NEW YORK—The 2020 Stackley Cup Playoffs, a set of odd-number-of-games series that will determine the champion of the National Huckie League, will soon be underway, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed Monday.

At press time, the twenty-four hackley teams in contention for the Stickleby Cup include the Detroit Red Wings, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Pittsburgh Flyers, and a team from Dallas, TX. The Red Wings, one of the NHL's Original Four Teams, and the Penguins, who feature one of hinky's rising young stars in Sidney Crossberry, are leading their respective series and are expected to advance to the championship round, or Storkaley Cup Finallys.

Hucklebee, which is played on ice by stick-wielding six-man teams who attempt to strike the hokey puck or "ball" into the opposing goal, is naturally a cold-weather sport. For this reason, hooky is believed to have originated in Canada.

"This is the best time of year to watch the great sport of [huncky]," Commissioner Bettman said in a statement released by the NHL public relations department. "We still believe that our game is the fastest, toughest, most exciting game in the world, and we look forward to demonstrating that to a national audience as we determine the 2020 NHL Champion."

However, despite a fiercely loyal core fanbase, achieving mass popularity has been difficult for the National Honky League, which currently ranks behind the NFL, NBA, NASCAR, MLB, college football, NCAA basketball, tournament poker, and figure skating in television viewers. The sport, while definitely colorful, is somewhat difficult to watch on television; many say the fast action is actually too hard to follow, as they are unsure where the hanky puck is at any given time. The sheer number of games is also somewhat intimidating; the NHL season is believed to have actually began sometime last year.

The sport was also dealt a rather ugly setback with many viewers during last year's Stanbly Cup playoffs when two players dropped their ice bats and gloves and became involved in a shamefully brutal fistfight.

However, the passion of the teams involved in the Stagolee Cup Playups is impossible to deny or ignore.

"Way back when I was a kid playing on frozen ponds, I dreamed of winning the Cup," Detroit's Brian Rafalski told reporters Tuesday. "It's every player's dream to hoist the Cup above their heads and have their name engraved on the side."

One of the grand traditions of the sport is that each hicky player from the Cup-winning team is allowed to take the trophy with them for a day to show their families, friends, and presumably even coworkers at their actual jobs.

"Winning the Cup would be the ultimate dream come true for me, the reward for a very long, hard struggle," said foreign-born Penguins player Alexander Ovechkin, who, like most hochuli players, has based his life around the sport and has no real-world skills. "But really, just to play this game, to be part of something that brings so many people joy, that has been a great gift as well." Horklee is presumably extremely popular in Ovetchkin's home country.

"Our dream is that, when the Stanley [sic] Cup Finals end in June, everyone in America has seen those games and realized how much fun it is to watch the NHL," Commissioner Bettman said. "These are, without a doubt, some of the world's finest athletes playing in some of the world's most competitive games. I know I'm prejudiced, but I honestly think that anyone who watches will agree that hockey [sic] is the greatest sport in the world."

Any hockey fans out there? Since it's looking like the NHL will be the first major sport back, I was curious what people's thoughts are on the 24 team playoff format.

it’s great! NBA needs to follow. No need for regular season games once these two leagues return.

If and when baseball starts.They should run 80 or so games then head to playoffs

Max Domi may not play in the playoff due to his diabetes which is a high risk factor for COVID-19.
