@johnstonphilip @danielholt It is an odd league...so many different trophies to identify greatness within the league in different ways. But for me the Cup playoffs are unbeatable.
@johnstonphilip @danielholt Not a chance! 😜 👍
@johnstonphilip @danielholt No playoffs are "fair" in that way, that's why just getting in gives any team a fighters chance. Did you watch the Rangers/Devils series? Rangers were too old and it was obvious! Kane and Tarasenko are past their primes and were not nearly enough of the threats they used to be and needed to be. NJ wanted it more and NYR need to shed some dead skin. I was rooting for Kane, but he looked lost at times. Seattle plays great as a team, try watching the Hawks.
@johnstonphilip @danielholt I never said they hate it, nor do they not try hard. But only in the playoffs does a loss send you home for the year. If you can't, nor want, to see the difference, don't buy a ticket.
@johnstonphilip @danielholt The regular season is similar to a 9-5 job. Some days are better than others, people come and go just trying to do their best for the company. Playoff time is for the players. They all want that chance to engrave their names on arguably the greatest trophy in sport. That's where it "means more".

If you're too young to remember much about Harry Belafonte, I'll share this. 50 Years ago, more or less, Belafonte played 10 shows over ten nights at the old O'Keefe Center in Toronto. That would be sold-out shows. Two weeks at the same venue, something you'd never think of now. That's how big he was. He also helped other performers by introducing them at his shows. Here's a nice story about that. Scroll down to #5

God Help The Opening Act

By Richard Flohil. All you need to know about choosing, hiring, feeding and taking care of the artist / band who’ll open the show Right now, of course, there are no shows at all. Here in Ontario, the bars are closed, concert halls shuttered, and live music is sadly almost non-existent, but maybe this is a good time to say a prayer for the opening artist, his/her role, the way they are treated, and how they can break through to wider audiences. Today, alas, opening acts are often presented to aud
