Yeah...Friday is super unlikely.
Thursday works well because we then have alternating WCSFs (Th/Sa/Mo/We) with ECSFs (F/Su/Tu/Th).
Most sources indicate Thursday start.I don't know about that, I think they are keeping this series as a benefit for the late games. On days with NSH-WIN they start the eastern series at 7pm Eastern and then have 9:30pm Eastern starts for them. Then on days with VGK-SJS they do a 7:30pm or 8pm Eastern start and then a 10:30 Eastern start for the late game. So really don't think they would like to have both West or East going the same nights because we all know the sports leagues treat other times zones than the East like they are a nuisance.
Leafs tie it up and Caps advance, but OV has never been past the 2nd round. Is he a top 10 winger all time?

Nice work. Sounds like we arrived at the same conclusion (Knights play Thursday) different ways.TV always dictates that we'll have one Western game and one Eastern game each night throughout the week - makes it easier for double-headers. Plus, the Washington arena is booked Friday, and you KNOW the Leafs will be on Saturday night if they advance.
Because of arena availability and the NHL not wanting to have teams play on back-to-back nights, I’m fairly certain the final three games of the Predators-Jets series will be as follows:
Game 5 in Nashville on Sat, May 5 (arena is booked May 4 and 6)
Game 6 in Winnipeg on Monday, May 7 (arena is booked May 8 and 9)
Game 7 in Nashville on Thursday, May 10 (arena is booked on May 9)
Based on this, I’m guessing Knights-Sharks will wrap up like so:
Game 5 in Vegas on Friday, May 4
Game 6 in San Jose on Sunday, May 6 (arena is booked on May 7 and 8)
Game 7 in Vegas on Wednesday, May 9
I imagine Vegas-SJ will begin Thursday, and Nash-WPG will start on Friday to fit this timeline, which would allow each team to play every other day for the first six games.
Nice work. Sounds like we arrived at the same conclusion (Knights play Thursday) different ways.
Really like what you've done.
Thanks! I feel bad for Winnipeg, as they're going to most likely have 8:30pm local time puck drops for all three of their home games.
Same for Nashville, Central and Mountain time teams usually get these later starts.
Boys and girls I've drafted a GDT for Game 1. Taking the screencaps of the story and drafting captions for the theme took a fair bit of work so I'm putting in the claim on the GDT now.
