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!

I just hope Bob doesn’t go super human and stand on his head.  I think our team has a good chance.

Bobs and their goonery concern me. Especially with adding king goon in Marchand.

They really are such a hateable team.

Yeah, no doubt they'll target Freddie's head early.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
