Back in 03-04 it sounds like a lot of us:

- were 20ish
- had no kids, possibly no spouse / SO
- jobs with fewer expectations
- had an abundance of time so that spending 4+ hrs in a bar / at the Dome every other day for 2 months was possible.
- had few financial commitments

I have none of those things now.
My wife and I got married between the WCF end and the start of the Stanley Cup Final Start.

Our wedding was planned well in advance, and as the Flames won the first two rounds, I remember looking at how the potential schedule was going to be made for the WCF. It was obvious that a potential game 7 was either going to be scheduled for the Friday night, or for the Saturday afternoon... which would have been right during our wedding.

Thankfully, that series didn't get scheduled for the game 7 to potentially be Saturday, and it didn't go to game 7 (which would have interfered with our rehearsal dinner)
