Turns out secret police rounding up foreigners is not great for international event attendance.
On the bright side, i may have to pick up some cheap tix to World Cup.
Happy start of best competition on Earth for all who celebrate!
Yes it is the hardest. Number of games x hitting/physicality. It’s a 2 month battle.

As much as fans, coaches and players hate the NHL playoff seeding, I think I know the unspoken reason why the NHL loves it:
More parity in early rounds means longer series in early rounds. More games when there are 8 or 4 matchup means way more revenue in sales and ads.
The conference finals may be less interesting with this format, but way fewer people/markets are watching as a whole by this point anyhow.
It’s always about the money.
It sucks but likely won’t change for this reason. They’ve done the math.
The press, ideally, is to be on the side of objective reality. That is all.
Not right, nor left, nor patriotic or not. Just the facts.
It’s never perfect, but it should be the goal.
