2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs thread

Arsenal is the Gunners. That might be my favorite.

 

I, for one, look forward to watching the Utah Mom Influencers play hockey.

Shit. Some minor league baseball team is going to take that idea for real.

 

Four goals on 12 shots for Edmonton? What about Bob?

 

He gone.

 

Oilers know they can’t win the cup on aggregate points, right?

 

The Hershey Bears and Coachella Valley Firebirds head to California for Game 3 of the AHL Calder Cup finals, tied 1-1. Defending champ Hershey won 5-2 tonight at Giant Center after a 4-3 loss Friday night.

 

And people bitched about an Edmonton-South Florida road trip. This one's gotta be an all-timer. A multi-hour bus trip BEFORE the plane ride.

 

There is an airport in Palm Springs, so it won’t be too bad at that end.
And a lot of nearby Indian casino hotels.

 

OK, but that's a drive to Philly, then a flight to LAX, then a flight to Palm Springs. Could be a layover in there.

 

I would wager they're flying out of Harrisburg International. 20 minutes.

 

I hope they're flying in separate charters.

It's 2,504 miles between Giant Center and Acrisure Arena. That's one hell of a bus ride, even for minor league hockey: 35 hours of driving time, not including stops for food, gas or driver switches. However, that's nothing compared to taking the Zamboni instead. At an average speed of 9.7 mph (according to Road & Track), you're looking at a drive of just a little more than 258 hours -- although traffic right now is "light." So you might pick up a few minutes here and there.
