So, I'd say there's a good chance the Flames will get HNIC that night.


LA also has a concert on Friday, so there will be a two-day break in the Oilers-Kings series when it shifts to LA. Luckily, both the Lakers and Clippers missed the playoffs this year, so the arena is free the rest of the time.



It's nice that Dallas and Nashville aren't big tv draws in the States (nor are LA or Edmonton), so Sportsnet should get priority for scheduling and we shouldn't get stuck with any stupid weekend afternoon games in the first two rounds at least. That was always an additional annoyance of playing Chicago or Detroit in the playoffs.

Just don’t give us Saturday/Sunday afternoon games please.
