well, we didn't even have individual NHL threads until Muresan's ill-fated decision to start one in the middle of that 1st round series. was their one in the 2nd round too (MON/PIT)? then after that one for each CF, and the SCF.
idk, the idea was that maybe one might be held for quality discussion and the other for LC/NC type in-game posting, trolling, and such. but you're right there didn't really end up being much good discussion, traffic and interest seemed to dry up as the teams got eliminated. probably should have expected that, i guess. but also this:

that thread is going to be a giant mess. it's going to be tough for any good discussion to take place in it, but maybe that's the way we'll go with it then. wonder how many posts/day there are going to be too, might be pretty tough to follow, but w/e.
