Second, Jack Hughes was always going to be bad his first NHL year. They should have sent him back because he is the prime example of physically just not being ready. I think that really hurt him as he couldn't keep physically with the basic demands of NHL hockey. Hopefully having the extended offseason allows him to add 15-20lbs because that is what he will need to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I never gave it much thought, so I was learning for the first time that it was in the shape of an animal. I did find myself shaking my head at the OP who was *nerding* out on how utterly amazing the logo is (like, the best in all of sports?). I guess, from a design professional's standpoint, there's a lot to admire. As a fan/consumer, I think it's an unappealing mess. Also, it looks more like a bear than a wolf to me. But I think the designer intentionally made it ambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only caught snippets but a 24 team playoff doesn’t breakdown to a two team final. My guess is eight of the 24 will get knocked out of contention to bring it to a normal sixteen team playoff. However they do this it’s a lot of hockey in a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 7 hours ago, Eleven said: I haven't kept up with everything; what is the round robin all about? The round robin is to seed the 8 teams that received a bye into the next round. It also allows them to get some games in, instead of sitting idle while their competition gets battle hardened.

There's no need to reseed these teams, just like there's no need to expand the playoffs to 24. The NHL really just can't get out of its own way sometimes. But I do see how some warmup games are a good idea. Edited July 12, 2020 by Eleven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
