Keep in mind, we have no idea how long the West Final is going to go... but the earliest the Final will start in Saturday, May 25.
I saw this same question as a response to that tweet, but wouldn't the 25th be the latest start date for the finals?Keep in mind, we have no idea how long the West Final is going to go... but the earliest the Final will start in Saturday, May 25.
Copied from game thread last night - Jim Ed Rice did some homework on past series, and it looks like if teams have gone 7, they have given them more than just a day off in the past.I saw this same question as a response to that tweet, but wouldn't the 25th be the latest start date for the finals?
The schedule is the 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd for games 4-7 in the WCF. Would the NHL really wait 6 days from the end of that series if it ended in 5 games?
Man, I read that post too - thanks for the reminder.Copied from game thread last night - Jim Ed Rice did some homework on past series, and it looks like if teams have gone 7, they have given them more than just a day off in the past.
2016: Pittsburgh/TB goes 7, ends May 26, SCF begins May 30
2017: Pittsburgh/Ottawa goes 7 games, ends May 25, SCF begins May 29
2018: Caps/TB goes 7, ends May 23, SCF begins May 28
If you want to make a thread for when the Final is set, go right ahead. I saw a possible start time and wanted to start a new thread. I will change the title of this thread to a news and discussion thread for the time in between rounds.Man, fuck you.
I already had great thread titles for either team we met in the finals, and you had to jump the fucking gun and make a thread before the Conference finals are even over.
Just find that date hard to believe if the Sharks win the next two. Six days off would be a lot.

SCF games are not going to be played during the day time (they haven't the last 2 years). It will either be Saturday or Sunday night.Will the SCF be on Sat or Sunday? I assume NBC would like the 3PM Sunday slot for SCF not Sat night?
You have to go back to 2013 to find a year that didn't have at least one 7 game series in the conference finals. The Blackhawks won game 5 on June 8th and the SCF started on June 12th.Just find that date hard to believe if the Sharks win the next two. Six days off would be a lot.
The last 3 finals have started on Memorial Day night so it seems like they like that slot as opposed to the Sunday night. Which would make sense since Monday is the Holiday so Sunday evening ratings and ad revenues are probably less than a normal Sunday night.Will the SCF be on Sat or Sunday? I assume NBC would like the 3PM Sunday slot for SCF not Sat night?
That 3pm slot would be perilously close to the Indianapolis 500 on the 26th, if it overran at all.Will the SCF be on Sat or Sunday? I assume NBC would like the 3PM Sunday slot for SCF not Sat night?
What seats?I spoke with my Bruins rep and they have the following pricing available (significantly less than ticketmaster and their fees). TM starts at $550 before fees for the same seats. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll order them.
Game 1 - $400/ticket
Game 2 - $450/ticket
Game 3 - $550/ticket
Game 4 - $700/ticket

Would just go back on my card, yes. So I'd just send back your paypal or venmo or whatever you paid me with. Yes, STH here.How do games 3 and 4 work - if they don't happen, do they credit your account? I am assuming you are a season ticket holder?
Note to self, next time don't let the combination of drunken euphoria force you to buy tix immediately. Would have saved around $500 had I waited a day.I spoke with my Bruins rep and they have the following pricing available (significantly less than ticketmaster and their fees).

Yeah, I don’t get this too much rest thing. They’re pro athletes playing a game they probably started at age 5. If they can’t get up and stay sharp for the SCF, they don’t deserve to win and probably wouldn’t be here in the first place.I love the panic about "You have to go back to 2010 (I think it was?) to find a team that swept the conference finals and won the cup!" thing. Well no shit. How many times did a team even sweep to give a chance of winning a cup to begin with?
I see you've never met Tyler Seguin.Yeah, I don’t get this too much rest thing. They’re pro athletes playing a game they probably started at age 5. If they can’t get up and stay sharp for the SCF, they don’t deserve to win and probably wouldn’t be here in the first place.
I actually did at that Ferrari dealership off 128. A friend works there so I used to pop in and try to get test drives and he was there browsing once.I see you've never met Tyler Seguin.
The center of the hockey universe for Game 7, what's wrong with that?I’m in fucking Toronto on 6/11 and 6/12 ... FML.
Only if we lose a few.lots of days off in that schedule.
A corporate awards dinner, that’s what.The center of the hockey universe for Game 7, what's wrong with that?
Avoiding the NBA, no doubt, plus travel. But yeah, it's gonna be a long long time.lots of days off in that schedule.
