So this isn't a lock but it's looking like if Boston beats Philly tomorrow, Game 1 will be on Friday. If Philly beats Boston, Game 1 will be on Sunday. If you missed my post a few pages ago, the reason is because A) The NHL wants all previous series to complete before the next round starts, so if Philly wins tomorrow, game 7 would be on Friday, and B) The HP Pavillion is hosting concerts on Thursday and Saturday, so the only viable dates are Friday or Sunday. I am guessing since the Hawks and Sharks will have the longest wait between series, Game 1 shouldn't be any later than Sunday.
