The Panthers did not want to have to play the Toronto on Saturday, the same day as a Miami heat game, all so nervous business types in South Florida can shield their product from competition
The 2003 Stanley Cup final is remembered as the Paul Kariya Memorial series. Kariya didn’t die. It just looked that way for a minute after Scott Stevens annihilated him in Game 6. That was the moment the NHL’s headshot debate became its headshot problem.
This is to say nothing of the extra couple days of rest and what that must have meant to a New Jersey squad that had been driving in top gear for six successive weeks.On a smaller stage, thedon’t want to play this Saturday night at home because 60 kilometres away, the Miami Heat are playing that afternoon.
It doesn’t do fans any good. This may be news to the NHL, but regular people have jobs that typically run from Monday to Friday. They can go wild on a Saturday night. They have to keep it between the pipes on Sundays. This doesn’t even serve the residents of Fort Lauderdale for the same reasons as fans anywhere else. Who wants to schlep out to an arena in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday night?
The Leafs haven’t said anything about this because they aren’t stupid. The only thing that’s going to be accomplished by complaining is planting an excuse in the heads of their own players. The opacity of the NHL’s scheduling is a problem. Why do some series start two days after the teams are locked in, but some start three, others four. Why do some have multiday breaks while others don’t? No one ever bothers to explain the rationale.
