“It’s as bad as the NHL and NBA.”

See my post #30. I recall reading an interview with Frank Mahovlich in which he said that when he played for the Montreal Canadiens team that he played on that beat the Chicago Black Hawks for the 1971, he figured that the playoffs went that too far into May for his liking (beat the ‘Hawks in game seven on May 18, 1971).

I vaguely remember a May playoff game (early 70s) between Rangers and Canadians that was cancelled because of fog in the arena.
