That's actually (frank)ing horrendous.

A total of 3 Saturday games, combined for all series. And 2 of them are only if the series gets that far. And none for the Leafs. Laughable scheduling.

- GreatGigInTheSky

Ugh the scheduling.
Ah well, so i have a game on my bday and game 7 ill be watching over the Atlantic

F1 race is on Sunday, so they will be competing against it.

The race they are avoiding is the Kentucky Derby.

A lot earlier in the day on Sunday, though. (Hopefully) Much of that crowd should be thinned out some by the time those coming up from the south are trying to get to Sunrise.

If it crashes the hockey game, it must be the Everglades Derby

The Bolts had their road to Cup smoothed out both times. Taking on Dallas or Montreal in the Final is far from a worst case scenario. (No offense Scabeh). Leafs could have had a rougher road this year maybe. Time for this core to take advantage.

Well it's a little less rough than it could have been...

Sunday is still the weekend
Granted, it is a “work night”, though.

I am sure Panthers ownership likes the 2 day break and Sunday night game so less of a chance for leaf fans to be there.

Also I read the Panthers owner owns something in the races Saturday night? Idk...its stupid

- Santo_44


Yup. He'll be at the Derby, so Saturday was no good for him. He appreciates the NHL juggling things around so that it makes absolutely no (frank)ing sense, just for him.

Just another part of the Bettman conspiracy

I imagine the US tv partners, who both carry the NBA, had a say in the scheduling, too. Not to mention F1 is racing around Dolphin Stadium this weekend. Traffic going to be a nightmare down there this weekend, I can see that being taken into consideration, as well.

The reasons for that city to not have a franchise just keep growing!

NHL doesn’t want the Panthers playing the same day as the Heat.

You may not like it, but it’s sound reasoning.

Rogers gets Oilers at 7 ET on Saturday and Leafs on Sunday. They’re happy

My post above this one keeps adding more reasons to the list.

All these years of hearing about how NHL media coverage is in the bag for the Leafs, meanwhile they make the second round for the first time in two decades and can't get Saturday night because the other team's owner wants watch his horse race in the derby. Incredible

Or more like they get to play a 7th game.
- dakotamoe


They always play 7 games in the playoffs, the novelty is playing 2 teams.

Samsonov took a shot off collarbone late in warmup…was stunned. We will see if it turns into anything

Funny how many people don’t let not knowing what they are talking about stop their gums from flapping, or fingers from tweetering.
I guess it gets them the desired attention and even some rah-rahs from the herd.

Sports scheduling is high up there among first world problems, with ordeals like not being able to hear the TV because my potato chips are too crunchy. Why do they have to make life so inconvenient?
