I never understood the 2 week break before the SuperBowl. It dissipates all the momentum and makes the season seem like 16 years ago.

In what other sport is there a rest before the championship. This should be the end of the grueling road. Two words: Doug Gilmour.

I agree that there shouldn't be a break, but I don't think this is too late in the season. And don't forget the ProBowl, for the ultimate anticlimax!

I think they tried a one week break a couple of years ago, and reverted. My guesses are: give the 2 competing cities a chance to.....what, buy tickets and hotel rooms? But you would guess those sold out long before. Then maybe it is simply greed: try to build anticipation and millions in ad revenues.
Jaysus, the Bruins lost hugely to Buffalo....

I always liked the exclamation "Jaysus", especially in combination with the words "Fer de luv o'".
