The Stanley Cup playoffs in a lot of ways are like the 1978 Journey song, “Wheel in the Sky.”
When you listen to the lyrics it’s almost prophetic in which the chorus bellows out to the listener, “Ooh the wheel in the sky keeps on turning. I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow. Wheel in the sky keeps on turning.”
You might be asking, what does this have to do with hockey?
The Stanley Cup playoffs are a grind, a long dusty road that leaves teams fighting, clawing, to survive until tomorrow. When a round ends, another begins, thus, the wheel of playoff hockey keeps on turning.
