I hope this doesn't mean we occupy the 2pm time slot.

Also, what's up with the B2Bs?

The previously released list of start dates said qualifying round begins July 30th, which would've avoided B2Bs completely.

Rangers/Canes, Coyotes/Preds - 3 games in 4 nights immediately after a 5 month layoff? Should be interesting.

So we win Lafreniere on August 10th



just kidding. We prepare for.... probably Boston

Who knows. Could be any of them.

 

[Rob Brown]

Any word on the time slot for our games? I assume 8pm for them all.

I doubt the league is going to put a team like the Leafs on at 2pm

They need every eyeball possible watching these games so I'd imagine the biggest drawing teams are going to get the most advantageous start times

Unless they put the Leafs at the earliest slot cause they know it will draw a big audience anyway.

Last year for Game 6 against Boston remember how that was a 3:00 PM start time because of NBC.

I know it’s a loser excuse but I knew we were losing that game because of the start time. If you compare the amount if afternoon games both teams have played in the last 5 years it’s laughable.

I agree because Boston did have some advantage since they played more afternoon games compared to Toronto.

The only afternoon games Toronto played during the 2018-19 season was on January 3, 2019 at 2:00 PM against the Wild since it was that Next Generation game. Their other one was March 9, 2019 against the Oilers since the game started at 7:00 PM EST/5:00 PM MST in Edmonton.

I would be really surprised if Leafs don't get prime time, so the 8 PM slot, or at the very least 6:30 slot.

Lets goooooooo

Toronto isn't scheduled to play on the same day Montreal is supposed to play, so that should make things easier from the Rogers point of view when it comes to the start times.

FWIW the Bruins board has a post that Bruins- Flyers on Aug 2 goes off at noon on NBC. So my guess is the Leafs - CBJ would be at 4 or 7.

 

[glue]

Yay! So training camps begin next week?

Playoffs??

There is no 4 or 7 slot. If the Bruins post is correct, the Leafs would then get 6:30 or the 8 PM slot. Unless the league does something strange, and gives them 2 PM.

 

[AcerComputer]

Honestly I think you could see some upsets here. Too easy for a team to come out flat, and get 2 games behind early. I don't feel confident the Leafs will be ready Aug 2nd.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Wow an actual date.

August 2nd we back fam. Feels good.

 

[Brown Dog]

Not getting a Saturday game? Weak.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Less than a month. 23 days to be exact.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Timing couldn't be better!
