Official 2022 Lord Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Really? That didn't happen last year when the Canadiens made the Stanley Cup Finals.

Also, since there are a plurality of Canadian players in the NHL, the Cup ends up in Canada every year anyways.

when canadians won the stanley cup in 93
in the past previous 10 years 7 were won by canadian teams, its now been a 30 year drought

canadians got behind calgary, edmonton, ottawa, vancouver when they made the finals

I'm talking about last year, buddy. 2021 SCF - Tampa Bay vs Montreal.

Some Canadians will be more excited, I guess, that a Canadian team will have a chance at a Cup. But, I don't think that Canada as whole will care if the Oilers win the Cup.

The prices for Rangers ECF tickets are disgusting. 400 before taxes and fees to sit in the 400s.

Why wouldn't they? You'll have all of Canada watching.

They all have that anyway regardless of whos playing and canadian viewers isnt important to Bettman....

 

[Miggs]

oilers are exciting

rangers vs oilers would print money

you'll have all of canada and you then you have one of the biggest hockey teams in the states

League office would rather have 2 american teams in the final....Canadian teams dont make ad revenue for the league on ESPN....

Honestly, I thought they might actually be more than that. A New York team facing a two time defending Stanley Cup Champion juggernaut. I would have thought they'd be even more than that, especially with the amount of money there is in New York.

If they make the Final, you'll be spending rent to get in the building. I remember it fondly from 2014. It was cheaper to fly to LA and watch the games at Staples.

I spent a lot back in 2011 on the Bruins Stanley Cup Finals ticket to game six.

I think I spent $1,600 or so.

Here was the situation and dilemma I was in.

-Bruins had no won the Stanley Cup in 39 years, and Boston is a major market.

-Series was 2-2, and game six would be back in Boston.

-I could have waited until after game five to purchase the ticket, and the prices would either be much lower than $1,600 if the Bruins lost game five as they couldn't win it on home ice, or I could buy after the game, and if the Bruins won game five, then I have no doubt that $1,600 ticket would have been $3,000+.

-I ended up buying before game five for $1,600, and then the prices dropped to around $500 on game day for game six. I was more comfortable paying $1,600 and locking it in and being fine with people paying half that if the Bruins lost game five than I would be spending $3,000+ just because I decided to wait.

already 1-1 game in this WCF between Oilers and Avs

 

[Remote]

The Celtics finished their 7 game series vs the Heat on Sunday night and get until Thursday to play the Warriors.

The Rangers just finished a 7 game series vs the Hurricanes on Monday night.
The next series begins tomorrow, Wednesday vs Tampa Bay.

Just brutal. One day of rest.

Edit: That last look actually proved the refs right.
