As a Minnesota-raised person, I find it rather odd that the NHL is still playing in late MAY. It's like baseball games being played in snowstorms; the natural season for the game is long over. After all, icehouses have to be off the lakes by April 1, folks have put away their skates weeks ago, and are getting ready for the city beaches to open on Memorial Day (although nobody over 15 would dream of actually going into the water - too cold!).
