hopeleslyobvious Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 If Edmonton and San Jose is decided in 6, I see no reason why the Eastern Conference Finals Shouldn't start on Thursday. But, no one left it up to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm surprised to see Game 7 of the Eastern Conf Finals scheduled for June 1st. According to the RBC Center website, Sesame Street on Ice is scheduled for a 7pm performance that night. http://www.rbccenter.com/events/upcomingev...nth=6&year=2006 I wonder if the NHL got Sesame Street to move, or if the NHL will adjust their schedule. I suppose playing back to back games at some point during the series would be the most logical means of fixing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Along The Watchtower Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I see no reason why the Eastern Conference Finals Shouldn't start on Thursday. NHL execs did not want to go up against "Will and Grace" finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
