Because I seem to enjoy the whole “this is a weird time to be starting the playoffs” thing, I went back to see when the last time I made a playoffs preview post at what would usually be considered the normal time of year for it. In 2019, my Stanley Cup Playoff preview post was published April 19, so we’re just about a month later than we usually are for the beginning of the playoffs. Well, as they say, better late than never, and considering how close we were to it being “never” last season, I believe we will definitely take it being late for the second season in a row.
