The big break between games isn’t the end of the world but I don’t like it for a couple reasons:
A) part of the reason the Cup is the hardest trophy to win is the playoff grind. 4 7 game series and playing every other day. With this break the Knights will have rested for quite awhile which takes away a bit of the mystique around the tenacity required to win the Cup.
B) many including myself complain that the season is too long in the first place. This playoffs could have ended earlier by a few days. Dragging hockey into June has always seemed a bit ridiculous. I think it’d be better to open training camps earlier in September and start the season mid September and end the season at the end of May rather than into 1st/2nd week June.
Again, neither point above is the end of the world.
