How is a back to back SCF fair?

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Forget the complaints from the organization. ( The Lightning) How is a back to back in the SCF a good idea? I get money talks and they need to get out of this bubble, but on ice product is important also.

This game tonight between TBL and NYI was gross. Both teams ran out of gas.

C'mon NHL, us fans deserve good hockey.

It's a television progrm with $$$$ involved.

The NHL is eager to end this season.

They also don't want to go up against the NFL. Actually, they can't go opposite the NFL because NBC broadcasts that too.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

because get this f***in season over with already, there's free agency and the draft to get to!

I have to check but I believe both teams will have to engage in back-to-back.

 

[Doctor No]

Fair?

The fair comes to town once per year, usually in the summer (and not during the pandemic).

 

[Kane One]

f*** fair. We’re lucky to have hockey during a pandemic.

 

[jcs0218]

It is fair, because both teams have the same conditions.

As for whether it is a good idea?

They want to save money and improve ratings.

Honestly I'm not mad. Its Game 4 & 5, so the wear and tear from the last series shouldn't have as much of an effect on the back to back.

I think OP is talking about it not being "fair" to the fans. Not about it being fair to the teams involved.

Which is still a weird premise.

I always thought it was a part of the game. Healthy and rested teams don't win the SC. Tired and injured teams do.

That's part of the fun.

Sauce for the goose Mister Savik. The odds will be even.

If you are going to have back to backs do it during games 1-3 instead of 4/5 which can be cup clinching games.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Really no such thing as fair right now

 

[Sky04]

They're not even traveling, it's not that big a deal.

Tampa was spotted game 1 against the isles because of the short schedule. It is what it is. NHLPA signed off.

 

[Master P]

No fans is bad enough. You think the NHL is gonna tangle with Football on Sunday?

I have to check. When I made the post I said teams aside.

I’m talking about the quality of the on ice product

I’m not talking about fair to the teams. I’m talking about the quality of the gameplay

Oh I thought it was Tuesday Wednesday

Thank you for quoting TWOK. My daily quote minimum from this movie and Ghostbusters must be at 1 each per day the rest of my life.

Haha y'all must be younger than 30. Back to backs were a common thing even as "recent" as the late 80s/early 90s when I was a kid (I'm in my late 30s now). They want to go home to their families already.

You are wrong.

Both teams played fine.

They get more rest in the bubble than they would traveling from Florida to Texas and back (and commuting from arenas to hotels) with days in between.

Prediction - OP is a liar and there wont be a back to back in the finals.
