as ridiculous as the 8 day delay would be if Detroit and Pittsburgh both take care of business, starting the SCF on June 5th would be nice for me, personally, work wise…

If the finals do start on the 30th, can I blame Gary Bettman for any work stuff I don’t get finished by my 6/4 deadline?

Heck, I may blame Bettman anyway…

So…ummm….what’s the schedule call for if either the Pens or Wings fail to close out in the next game?

i think they’ll keep the same schedule already posted, with the start on june 5th. but don’t hold me to that.

personally, i’d like to start this weekend. we’re on a roll, and detroit seems tired/injured. maybe we can take advantage of that (unlike the hawks).

regardless, lets go pens!

Crossing My Fingers It's May 30!

Detroit is really banged up right now. The Pens don’t need time to heal. Let’s get this series on, now! I guess we have to win Game 4 first…

All this schedule changing/confision whatever, is making it very difficult to commit to things and plan ahead… ugh.

I agree. I’m trying to get an idea when these games are going down so I can actually plan out other things. I didn’t watch all season just to blow off a potential Cup-winning game.
