I thought I was the only one who was allowed to start hockey threads this far in advance. I've seen others disappear for less than this.

I admire Nashville and Poile's body of work immensely. Team is full of drafted players with some actual hockey trades mixed in. Free agents frenzy? Nope-
instead Poile has been in on several of the biggest player for player trades in recent memory, and has made out like a bandit.
Would love to see a team built the right way (no tanking for talent) win it, to prove it can be done without going full Oiler (and others).

Looking forward to Ottawa making the finals, not selling out their building and the media storm that follows.

This is gonna be really tough for the Preds. Any team with Malkin and Crosby is scary as hell.

Still can't believe Weber isn't part of that Nashville Finals team.

The Preds will be the fresher team with the extra rest which I think will benefit them early in the series.

Gonna be a fun match up with NSH having such a huge advantage on D and PIT having an equally large advantage at C (and top 6 F in general). G are pretty close.

Normally I would agree but the Pens still get 3 full days off, and is it possible the Preds are too well-rested? Hopefully their practices are keeping them somewhat in game mode.

Ugh, wish this series would start sooner. Along with the frequent 2-day breaks, this is going to be take forever

The Pens get to sit at home for three days off before the finals start and there will be 4 two day breaks in the series. The extra Preds rest means nothing.

It means a lot when it comes to bumps and bruises and all the nagging injuries. Thise extra days the Preds had will mean something when the series starts.

I can remember back in the 80's when teams played back to back at home with a few days of travel when it switched to the other teams rink. There is no good reason they should be playing hockey in the month of June.
