It sucks. Ive talked to many people trying to get them into hockey. One of the biggest reasons is the length of the season, which I agree I think it could be cut down at least 20 games. Another is availability. You HAVE to have fanduel south to watch the Canes and then Youtube TV when they make it past round 1. These starting times dont help either. All NHL needs to do is a few tweaks to make the NHL more popular. Availability should be top priority. Its absolutely insane we are forced to purchase multiple services to watch our teams.

Agreed the NHL tends to making watching it EXCLUSIVE instead of INCLUSIVE.... 

The Hockey is one of a few sports that brings the things so many love about football (physicality speed and excitement) its the only other sport we're hitting is a legal part of the game.....

If they made it easier to actually watch the product the popularity would sky rocket.

I'm not sure i agree with the shorter season mainly just because it takes most teams 20-30 games just to round into form.

Ive thought about a different format for regular season. A team plays every team in their conference 3 times, kinda like a mini series. That takes us up to 45 games since 15 other teams times 3 is 45 (I think the math checks out, I just woke up). Then they can play every team in the opposite conference. That will bring the total to 61. Then every year they can switch up at home or away games for the 16 games they play against the opposite conference depending on what it was the previous year. For playoffs, Ive always been in favor of best of 5. I think this would greatly help popularity too since length of season is just about always the #1 issue when I try to get others to watch.

Oh shiiiiiiit. I stg i read somewhere the ECF starts Wednesday and the WCF starts tomorrow. 

 

Nope Tuesday at 8pm....

A huge advantage for the Canes IMO we had a week off whereas Florida will be flying from Toronto to Raleigh today without going back to Miami.

Ive watched the Panthers this playoffs and they are not in the same form they were the past two years, Thatchuk is banged up and not effective, Bob hasn't been god mode.

 

Interestingly enough they are trying to reach a third strait finals..... somthing that hasn't been done in the last 50 years.... there is a reason for it that is A LOT OF EXTRA HOCKEY.

For the playoffs i think you could do a best of five for round one if they expand the playoffs by two teams and give the top two seeds a bye....

But a best of 7 is hockey gold they won't be changing that for the latter series trust me.

I will say I absolutely hate this divisional format they've had the last 8 years.....

Half the best teams got knocked out every year in the second round because they are playing the second best conference team in round 2.

If you count the playoffs and preseason, the NHL is playing games for all but three months of the year. 27 week reg season, few weeks for pre season, 8-9 weeks for the playoffs. Think it's roughly 40 out of 52 weeks a year. Which is kinda insane when you think about it.

And those 3 months line up with perfect disc golf/hiking/beach weather. It's pretty remarkable when you think about it... the perfect sport!

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.

      I think we've seen improvement in Bryce's performance. It still isn't up to world beater status, but in Canales defense, he can say that the limitations of the player were hit. I think he survives that even if Bryce doesn't. Still, I think it's a 50/50 shot for Bryce to make it. QB is one of the toughest jobs to do in the sports world, if not the most, so the failure rate is really high, no matter the pedigree. Heck, Archie Manning gets a lot of credit as a great QB but anyone who saw his career in motion knows he wasn't really that good and he was surrounded by bottom of the bowl players. He did get it figured out with his sons, though. That grandson... maybe.
