So. I found out the dates I'll be away on this college thing...with no technology and no contact with the outside world...
May 22 - June 3
Which is awful, let me just say. BUT...I've been looking at potential schedules...and I might be okay, if a few things fall into place.
First thing that needs to happen is the Red Wings need to win tomorrow. That pushes Game 7 to Thursday, which pushes the Eastern Finals start to Saturday, May 14th, and presumably the Western finals to Sunday the 15th.
Ideal scenario is a quick Bruins win and the Western Finals going 7...schedules would presumably look like this:
ECF Game 1 Sat May 14
ECF Game 2 Mon May 16
ECF Game 3 Wed May 18
ECF Game 4 Fri May 20
ECF Game 5 Sun May 22
ECF Game 6 Tue May 24
ECF Game 7 Thu May 26
WCF Game 1 Sun May 15
WCF Game 2 Tue May 17
WCF Game 3 Thu May 19
WCF Game 4 Sat May 21
WCF Game 5 Mon May 23
WCF Game 6 Wed May 25
WCF Game 7 Fri May 27
So if Boston closes it out in 5, I could see all of that series. But I'm not as worried about that. One of the two series NEEDS to go 7 though. That would make the Cup Finals schedule something like this:
SCF Game 1 Sun May 29
SCF Game 2 Tue May 31
SCF Game 3 Thu Jun 2
And then I'm home the 3rd...hopefully avoiding technology alltogether, cramming to watch any ECF and Cup Finals games I missed.
GO DETROIT!
