NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 I hope it starts on the 5th! My exams start the 1st and finish on the 8th, so that would mean I could watch most of them live! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 I don't mind the late date, but on the condition that the other series is the reason for it. Like I've said before, other than the Cup, there's nothing better than basking in your awesomeness for a while, waiting to see who else will join you in the next round. My enjoyment of that last round was limited to the 3rd period and OT of Bruins-Canes Game 7, I'd like a little more this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michgal89 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 I really hope it's sooner rather than later. My camp counselor job starts on the 10th, and I won't be able to concentrate on ANYTHING if I have to miss the Cup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted May 22, 2009 That basically means both series' need to be a clean sweep in order to get the Finals on the 28th. If the Canes or Hawks win a single game, it's June 5th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoe 165 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 From an injuries perspective it could help those guys that are hurting. From a waiting around come on lets go perspective it sucks. From a competing with other leagues arnt we usually done before basketball, they will catch right up. I thought Betman and co wanted to grow this league not come second to basketball, Im pretty sure down in Florida sports bars all but maybe 1 screen would be showing basketball cept the small screen in the corner by the washrooms. Geesh after the cup cerimonies they may as well just have the cup parade route roll right up to the draft table. Right now though from a wings perspective with Pavel and Draper and Lijia and Im sure a handful of secret injuries we could use a june 5 start date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
