The NHL wonders why the Cup Final is struggling to grab viewers. Another 2 days off between games. It just kills the excitement for the fans of teams not in it. Meanwhile trades and signings are going on and that's way more exciting if you aren't a Panthers or Oilers fan.

The #Canucks aren't building a team to win a skills competition. When you are in the same division as McDavid you are losing that battle every time. They are building a team to punch you in the mouth and soften you up for 60 minutes, allowing their skill player to do their job.
