... Quote: Appeasing TV gods costs NHL its dignity
Cam Cole, Canwest News Service
Published: Saturday, May 23, 2009
Every time you think the National Hockey League can't possibly sink any lower in its subservience to the great god Television, Gary Bettman's outfit gives us fresh evidence there is still plenty of grovelling room in the subbasement.
Here's the latest embarrassment: the league announced Friday that unless both the Eastern and Western conference final series ended in sweeps--meaning by Tuesday night, when the Pittsburgh Penguins would play their Game 4 in Raleigh, N. C. -- the Stanley Cup final would not begin until June 5.
Now, never mind that this could mean 10 days between games for the Penguins if, say, they were to sweep Carolina while Detroit took even five games to polish off the Chicago Blackhawks. The Wings, under that scenario, would go eight days between games.
It's worse than that.
After lollygagging through the first three rounds of playoffs with nonsensical extra off-days thrown in willy nilly, the NHL is prepared to play Games 1 and 2 of the Cup final on back-to-back nights, because NBC is weak in prime time on Fridays and Saturdays, and will deign to telecast both games if the NHL doesn't mind twisting itself into a pretzel to co-operate.
And in that case . . . well, do the math.
If they play on the 5th and 6th, and go every second day from that point on, they would play Game 3 on June 8, Game 4 on the 10th, and so on, meaning a possible Game 7 on the 16th, a day later than the NHL's written-in-stone pledge to have the season end by June 15.
So to keep its promise, the league would have to schedule another back-to-back within the series.
No two Stanley Cup final games have been played on consecutive dates since 1954, when the Red Wings played Game 4 in Montreal on April 10, and the teams travelled to Detroit for Game 5 on April 11.
And that's when the playoffs consisted of only two rounds.
In the modern era, such an idea would be considered preposterous: four rounds into the playoffs, when fatigue and injuries have mounted, playing on back-to-back nights--maybe twice in the same series?
Absurd. Unconscionable.
If the series begins June 5 and goes seven, it would be the latest-finishing Stanley Cup final in a non-Olympic year since 1999, when Brett Hull's toe-in-the-crease goal won it for Dallas at 1:30 a. m. Eastern, on June 20--after which I distinctly recall NHL senior vice-president of hockey operations Colin Campbell telling me the league simply had to find a way to end the hockey season before June.
But in the NHL's scruple-free administration, anything goes to appease U. S. television.
If the league's owners had the stones they were born with, they might actually rise up and challenge the commissioner once in a while when his desire to be bigger than he (or the league) really is-- regardless of the cost to its dignity --makes hockey look pathetic.
But he has led them this far, and they have drunk his Kool-Aid. Evidently, they are unwilling, or unable, to rally in the name of common sense.

They'll have a tent sale during the summer where they'll get rid of old merchandise that doesn't sell (ex. Naslund jerseys, ugly shirts nobody buys) and that's about it.

im pretty sure the win goes to osgood. i think the only way conklin would've gotten credit was if the hawks took the lead for a period after osgood left.
does anybody know if there's a requirement for the distribution of stanley cup rings? do players have to play a certain number of games and receive ice time? or is simply being on the roster enough?

The second the losing team ties the game after the goalie left, the 2nd goalie will get the win or loss depening on outcome.

The winning/losing goaltenders are determined by which goaltenders were on the ice during the time the GWG was scored.

Happened once in Colorado where Patrick Roy had to get off the ice (an equipment problem IIRC) so they had to put Craig Billington in for a whistle and didn't face a single shot. Coincidentally the Avs scored what happened to be the GWG and Billington got the win even though he only played 1 min.

Detroit is so ridiculously stacked...
even with Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and (Helm?) out they take a commanding 6-1 win.

I can't remember the exact number though. I might be wrong on this.
To get their name on the cup, they have to appear in 41 regular-season games or one Stanley Cup Final game.

The NHL makes exceptions for players who do not meet the standard because of injury or other extenuating circumstances.
As for rings that's distributed by the team and I don't think there are any NHL rules for that.
