King Henry the 2nd asked:
After a 7-8 game preseason, followed by a 82 game schedule, and 4 grueling minimum 16 games Playoff series? Once, Steve Yzerman said after a heavy favor Stanley Cup winning Detroit team was eliminated in the 1st round by San Jose ” at least we can enjoy the summer, because lately we usually play into late may or early June, and have to come right back to camp in September”
Not to mention BOTH teams went through the same process last year……Stevie Y must have said that later in his career because he certainly had plenty of tee times in the early going.
Atleast Crosby, Lidstrom and Datsyuk got the all star break rest (LOL…oh, that can of worms!).
I’ll trade places with them…
I guess thats your punishment for being a good team haha
