they always lose the first (and usually the last) leafs game. nothing to get worried about.

How can you be sure?  There are so many games that they aren't even meaningful until after the Superbowl.

I should be going to Ottawa on Dec. 10th, a Canucks game, with Canucks fans.  :)

Good stuff, I expect an AAR!

The Superbowl? Try March. Any team  that gets into a winning run from March-June can win the whole thing. Which is why I'm no big fan of North American sports and the whole playoff format.

the playoffs start in April.  So yeah, any team that gets into a winning run from March-June can win the whole thing since the Stanley cup is won around the half of June...  A team that doesn't get into a winnin run from April is usually eliminated, it's the principle beyond the playoff... :P

Yeah but those European leagues just hand the title to the team with the best record at the end of the season.  But I guess that makes more sense to them with all those extra tournaments their clubs play.

Damn the Caps would actually have some NHL titles.

It makes limited sense in a regulation format.

Personnally, I hate that titles can decided before the last day of the season/playoff & that other teams are playing at the same time.

I watched the last of the Premiership back in May(I think). Why were there any game between teams that didn't compete for anything? Why did ManU play when it had won the title for 3 games already.

Did anyone catch the party going on in Winnipeg during the pre-game show / intermission?

They had tens of thousands of people out at the Forks with the entertainment being Zombie Randy Bachman.  Of course the crowd went nuts anytime the word "Jets" was mentioned.

Probably the same reason the number 1 seed NHL team has to play a few games even after they have the best record wrapped up.  Or the worst teams get eliminated from playoff contention with 10 games left to play or whatever.

FOR THE GLORY!  Well...ok for the money.
