NHL Reveals Several Key Dates that You May Want to Circle on Your Calendar
The NHL has released a list of important dates which are now set for the 2024-25 NHL season and playoffs that you may want to take note of.
As we approach the midway point of September, hockey is inching closer and I'm sure we're all chomping at the bit to be able to tune in and preparing to get hurt all over again.
Last season, it was a tough pill to swallow for the Maple Leafs, who were bounced, yet again, by the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs. This year, with the hiring of Craig Berube and a new coaching staff, revamped goaltending trio, bolstered blueline, highlighted by the arrival of Chris Tanev, a new captain in Auston Matthews and a potential infusion of youth on the way with players like Easton Cowan, Fraser Minten and Nikita Grebenkin pushing for roster spots, the hope is that the Leafs can make a little more noise and go further in the 2024-25 postseason.
On Wednesday, The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta revealed some key dates for the 2024-25 campaign that have been confirmed by the NHL's head office, including when the league's inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off will occur, when the trade deadline will happen and the first day of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs is set for, among additional dates.
The summer felt longer, I'm sure, for Maple Leafs fans than it did for the likes of Panthers and Oilers fans, who got to watch their teams compete well into June. The hope is that a better fate awaits the Buds in 2024-25, because this fanbase deserves something to cheer for after decades of pain and mediocrity.
