Games 5 & 6 skip over Fri and Sat night. Again, weekends are for hockey.

A possible game 7 on June 12th is 3 weeks away from today which is way too long. Boston won Eastern finals on May 16.

Sportsnet does like this schedule because they get games on their three marquee nights (Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday). Overall, Friday nights are not a strong night for ratings. Sportsnet is also showing NBA Finals games and the two sports do work together to have each others games on different nights.
