Man, that playoff schedule sucks for the home games.  Saturday afternoon 3:00 p.m. and then Monday evening at 8:30 p.m.... c'mon nhl.  

My personal gripe is that the my kids and I have to be two blocks away from the arena and one from True North Square at 1:15 on Saturday. It's going to be a nightmare.

I can live with the Saturday afternoon game, but having an 8:30 start on a Monday night is complete bullshit.

Our schedule coincides with the Leafs, so they get the prime time, we get the afternoon or late time. The Oilers will draw more eyeballs than the Jets so the powers that be would not want to double stack them with the Leafs on the same day for TV ratings purposes.

Exact reason why it would be so nice to see Tampa, LA and Winnipeg head off into the second round as a big FU. :)

We are the west. Leafs are east. Eastern games on first always. Or prime time if you will. 

Boston 

Tampa 

Carolina 

NJ 

Dallas 

Colorado 

LA 

Winnipeg 

 

Those are my legit 1st round winners

True, but for a double header it makes more sense to have Leafs/Tampa early (6 pm Central - 7 local, and Edmonton/LA 9:00 pm Central - 8:00 or 7:00 local depending on home team) rather than starting Winnipeg late, but Sportsnet wants to maximize ratings on every day, so split up the sexy market interest of Toronto and McJesus.

Yup and when Matthews scores his first goal in the post season we will once again be met with Matthews can actually walk on water as well as McJesus. This talk will carry over to other games as well. For example, Winnipeg will score and at the intermission replaying the goal they will reference Matthews and McJesus talents to describe the goal scored by the Winnipeg player. The only saving grace to this is when TO gets punched out, their tears will taste delicious.

I want to hear Sportsnet call Blake Wheeler "Mark Wheeler" to his face again.  That was funny.
