Will there be a schedule out by then? I can't buy tickets until I know which day the game will be on!

No. The earliest we can find out who we will play is Saturday night if the Penguins win. But even then, I don't know if they can schedule the games without knowing when the other series will be over.

The Bruins/Leafs series could end tonight. The earliest that the Caps/Rangers series could end is Sunday but will probably go 7, so they'd end on Monday.


It's most likely that we'll face the Penguins and, let's face it, if they get semi-decent goaltending it'll be over tomorrow. But even if the Caps/Rangers is over early (Sunday) then the first game in Pittsburgh would be Tuesday (even if the Caps/Rangers ends on Monday). Checking the CONSOL Energy Center's schedule, they've only got a couple of arena football games scheduled the next couple of Saturdays, so nothing next week until the weekend. I predict games 1&2 Tuesday/Thursday in Pittsburgh, and game 3 in Ottawa on Saturday.

P.S. You could always sell the tickets.

We will have to see who as more pull, NBC or CBC. A Saturday night game in Ottawa would be what CBC wants yet we all know that NBC prefers to have the Pens in the afternoon.

Because I am starting to call Gonchar Karlsson (and vice versa) after listening to him for 5 games.

That was bad news. I thought old man Cole did okay for the most part, but damn....one is RIGHT handed and the other one is LEFT handed. Is that sooooooooooo hard, or does he need new spectacles?

Caps and Rags play Game 5 with the series tied 2-2.

What a ridiculous play.

Reimer has better stats than Price in the playoffs.

Dammit Boston.

wprager wrote:Wow, Leaf hang on. Boston outshoots them 19-4 in the 3rd but Reimer steals one. Back to the ACC.

Love it. Let's hope the Isles do the same tomorrow.
