I was kind of looking at this the other way, imagine if you are CHI or DET facing a back to back on the road in Boston.

I know the National TV stuff can complicate stuff but they have double headers at the Garden all year long. I don't think the Tavern owners will be bitching, maybe even squeeze a Sox game in at the Fens at 4pm.

(Just checked those holding tickets to the Sox vs Orioles at 7:10pm expect a time change on that one.)

So I think the 12:30 Saturday game is pretty much a done deal .

It sets up perfectly for me. I'm going to game 1. Then the bruins game 2 at 8. So pumped.

I'll have to stay in Boston the whole day. Hopefully the sox take sullys idea and move the game till 4. So I can catch the game at a bar or something.

I hope they play at 12:30, this will give KG more than 2 days to sit back and elevate/ICS that knee.

It'd be nice to see them turn the tables this year!


YUP! I watched that too, because my girlfriend's brother is a Bruins fan. Disappointing that they didn't get the upset. I've watched a few games this year too, and am actually looking forward to this year's series against Monteral--the seeds are reversed haha.

About the scheduling, that's a drag...isn't there some league rule about no back-to-back playoff games?

A 12:30 game on Saturday would be sahhh-weet. I have tickets for the Kings of Leon on Saturday night and a tee time at Red Tail 2pm Sunday. I have tickets to the C's and would like to go to all of them.

It has to be a 1230 game. The Bruins play Saturday night at 8 and Springsteen is at the Garden Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't think they'd give us Sunday and then Thursday.

I have noticed that tix to the first round aren't that bad on reselling sites. Reg season games against like Orlando and Miami went for much more. I wonder if it's because of the date and team uncertainty?

That 12:30 time really blows.
