Possible Stanley Cup Final Start Date?

[bcherbertlou]

Obviously depends how long the two semifinal series go, but curious what an estimated date for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals might be? Assuming one or both series go 7 games, are we looking at the 29th or 30th of June for the start?

The sooner Vegas and Tampa rollover, the faster we can all enjoy our summers.

The season timeline has July 9th as the last possible date of the Stanley Cup. In order to do that without having a back go back game, it would have to start 6/27. That would mean no rest for the winner of the VGK/MTL series which I can’t see that happening. My guess is that the first game would be June 28th (playing every other day), ending on June 10th.

Probably a 3-4 day break after the Semis finish.

The fact that hockey could go into July makes me smile in an ironic way

Not necessarily. The Cup Final game dates are usually pre-scheduled for television slots. Meaning if series end early we wait a few extra days.

Anyways, we should know in a few days when the tv schedules for NBC are published for the week of the 28. My guess based it starts the Monday, June 28.

Thanks for the comment. Move along if you have nothing to say. You must be miserable

One website originally had the 9th but now it looks like the NHL pushed it back to the 15th:

and this means last possible day?

July 15 would be the game 7 date of the SCF if that was the case. We won’t know until the semi finals end.

That would be quite the temporal leap…

I am miserable, it's 89 degrees in L.A. right now. Thanks for asking.

Whoops, typo. It would be great timing to give the guys a normal summer off like pre-Covid times in a magical Delorean kind of way.

That was my guess, I figured they go with Monday-Wednesday-Saturday-Monday-Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday schedule that have gone with past few seasons. In that scenario Game 7 is on July 14th

There were 2 famous episodes from Simpsons: Who shot Mr. Burns.

One closed the 6. season , second opened next season. And it was a huge success.

Imo, NHL should do it exactly so. Finals in September.

any update ?

update?

26th (Mtl-Veg) is the latest possible date for the semi finals. My guess is the Finals starts June 29th if that series goes 7.

If it doesn't go 7 wouldn't they start earlier? or is the date the date


and wouldn't they want Saturday night hockey

Probably garbage officiating and extended series

NBC has the second to last day of U.S Olympic Track qualifiers on Saturday the 26th. The Final will not start on on June 26, even if the other series finish early. Unless they switch the games NBCSN carries to Game 1 and another game, something that hasn’t happened in 13 years.
