Guest mindfly Report post Posted May 21, 2009 If I remember correctly they finished their last series earlier than the wings finished theirs, about two days, yet they have played only 1 game in the conference final (game2 tonight)... how can that be? now they are more rested, didn't have to go through probably the toughest team in anaheim etc etc...wings had no legs in a game 2 of a conference final etc etc........... Just saying......... Is Bettman behind this or maybe something about more NBC games? or? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoDakWing 8 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 look at it this way. the winner of the WCF will get more resting days for the SCF. so whatever. s*** happens, just deal and let it go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 They are not playing Detroit, so it doesn't matter which team is more rested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selkie 10 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 No conspiracy. Mellon Arena apparently had a couple of concerts and other events already booked in May that the league is now having to schedule around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) It must be a conspiracy. Just like it was a conspiracy that last round EVERY team in their series got an extra day off after Game 1, or Game 2, or Game 3, and so on. Just like it's a conspiracy that arenas/venues don't just have hockey to make money from. Edited May 21, 2009 by Shoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevie for president 42 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 dont forget carolina played game 7 the same night we played game 7. Also the NHL wants saturday and sunday games on NBC because the ratings are much better than versus. and plus concerts/ other events get scheduled in the arena. and i dont think bettman has much to do with the scheduling, besides maybe saying dont let them play on the same night and try to get saturday and sunday games in.
