Finals

The Toronto Maple Leafs swept the best-of-five series against the New York Rangers three games to none.[1] The first two games were to be played in New York City but because the circus was in town, the second game was played in Boston. The third and final game was played in Toronto.[4] It was called the "Tennis Series", because the Leafs scored 6 goals in each game. The Rangers scored 4 times in their own building, twice at Boston Garden, and four more in Toronto.[5]

gollark: There aren't that many alternatives.
gollark: Personally, my suggested climate-change-handling policies:- massively scale up nuclear fission power, it's just great in most ways- invest in better rail infrastructure - maglevs are extremely cool™ and fast™ and could maybe partly replace planes?- electric cars could be rented from a local "pool" for intra-city transport, which would save a lot of cost on batteries- increase grid interconnectivity so renewables might be less spotty- impose taxes on particularly badly polluting things- do research into geoengineering things which can keep the temperature from going up as much- increase standards for reparability; we lose so many resources to randomly throwing stuff away because they're designed with planned obsolecence- a very specific thing related to that bit above there - PoE/other low-voltage power grids in homes, since centralizing all the AC→DC conversion circuitry could improve efficiency, lower costs of end-user devices, and make LED lightbulbs less likely to fail (currently some of them include dirt-cheap PSUs which have all *kinds* of problems)
gollark: You can get AR-ish things which just display notifications or something.
gollark: You can get limited AR glasses (nice ones you may want to actually wear as everyday ones) now, but it's expensive and not popular.
gollark: Yes, that might be interesting.
