Gooooooood to know!

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

What if the unexpected happens and it's one of the 4 other possible wildcard teams?

 

[NeelyDan]

Gross,but I’ll love HNIC that much more with an opening win under our belt

 

[smithformeragent]

It's like they asked me, "Mike, when would YOU like Game 1 to start?"

So, thank you.

School vacation next week too, baby!

Ugh. A semi-matinee against TBL. Not my ideal scenario to start the playoffs. Although they are better in afternoon games over the past few years than they have been for most of my life. In any case, it is somewhat distressing to have a start time that is different from every game in the regular season.

Wouldn't want to upset the Celtics. Who cares about the quality of the ice the dumb f****

Very true. The NBA is the top dog.

Did you mean to say dog shit ?

 

[bruinsfan1968]

How about using actual facts instead of speculation!

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

5pm. Man o man the starting times get odder and odder each year. Feels like the starting times when they had the Covid bubble in 2020……

 

[Johnnyduke]

I find a 5 PM start offensive

Yeah it's super weird. I like to go out for dinner on a Saturday then come home and watch the game.

 

[Hairz]

I see the Celtics are on Sunday, so make sense we are Saturday/Monday but where is the 5:00pm coming from?

 

[DKH]

Bruins can likely get out of the 5 start by losing last 2 in regulation

That Monty let his kid do the PP tells me he’s already in playoff mode

Probably TV.

A few afternoon games and a few evening games allows more people to watch.

 

[lopey]

Please be i jury free

Monty looked pissed talking about PP

Pretty clearly marked as NOT OFFICIAL so I don't see the problem.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Very true. The NBA is the top dog.

Not in Boston they are not especially when the arena is owned by the Hockey teams owner.

Shitheads period

Ya me too . That’s 2:00 afternoon here on the west coast . So much for my sunny afternoon on a pub patio .

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

There are plenty of fans of non playoff teams that would love a 9 am start for game one of the playoffs

 

[EverettMike]

Not sure how this works but they're already down a goal to Tampa.

This is simultaneously impossible and true.
