Morning Skate: Pivot

The middle of the week is upon us!

Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight, with the series between the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning tied at a game apiece.

This is, of course, being described as a PIVOTAL GAME, which has always struck me as funny. It’s the playoffs. Isn’t every game pretty pivotal?

Game 4 will be played on Friday, then the NHL is embarrassing itself by playing Game 5 on Saturday.

Insane.

There is absolutely no reason for the league to have games on back-to-back nights during the Stanley Cup Final.
