Cup Game
When is the Stanley Cup game usually played?
I know it varies due to how many playoff games are actually played, etc., but could you give me an estimate on when the game normally is? Or when the championship playoff games start?
HA! I wish a wedding....haha
Anyway I'm actually getting tickets for something else for my boyfriend, but I just wanted to make sure it didn't interrupt with some serious playoff games.
The NHL has the longest playoff season in pro sports (and season is the right word) at two months: there are four rounds and all are best-of-7 series unlike the NBA (5, 7, 7, 7) or baseball (5, 7, 7). At an average of 14-16 days per series, that's two series per month and four rounds over two months.
For decades, the regular season usually ended at the end of a calendar month. When the NHL had 21 teams and fewer regular season games, that meant the season ended in March and the Playoffs ended in May. Now the regular season ends in April and the Stanley Cup is awarded by the end of June.
Back in the six team era, pre-1967, teams played 50 games per year (10 games per month) plus a two round playoff, so the season was only seven months from training camp to the cup. Now it's a ten month marathon and players stay in shape all year.
I would bet many players were actually glad to have the 2005 season off; it may have taken a year out of their careers then, but it probably added a year to the end of their careers, especially to players who might have missed games in 2005 due to injuries.
