Looks like the winner of Bruins vs Wings takes on the winner of Lightning vs Habs. My prediction is that the Wings will have to go through the Bruins, Habs, and Penguins just to get to the final. If they were to make it to the final, with their luck, they'll probably have to face the Blackhawks.

Detroit Red Wings Fans rejoice !!!
NO games starting at 10:30 est !!!!!
They too are slated to play back to back nights for games 6 and 7, fortunately it's only a few hour flight.
Now Tampa and Montreal, I don't know the mileage or flight time, but that appears to be the longest ...
Nothing like the Wings going to San Jose or LA every year.
At least these teams are not going against the Time Zone changes.

Round 1 playoff schedule.
G. Buttman has done quite a few blunders in his time. Renaming divisions, adding small market teams, adding the instigator penalty... but
WEEKEND AFTERNOON HOCKEY SUCKS!
We've been stuck inside for months, now with the weather breaking, the NHL even has some games scheduled for NOON.

Ain't that a no-sh*tter! I get up at 4:00 AM so I can actually get some sleep during these Stanley Cup Playoffs. Conversely, we're going up against a very good Boston team while we're going through a rebuilding process...so I hope it's not an early exit for the guys in Red & White. Regardless, we're playing the past few weeks and our youngsters are starting to show some maturity. Go Wings!
I remember in the early 90s....oilers and kings going deep in the third OT. I got up for school and the game was still on

You're really missing my point here. There's no reason teams should be playing back to back nights in the playoffs, whether the games are in the same city or not. The fact that it's game 6 and 7 and there's travel involved only makes it worse. Hypothetically speaking, what if game 6 goes to multiple overtimes and then the teams have to play a winner take all game the next night? Very stupid!!
The Red Wings-Bruins series has no back to backs. In fact, they are playing every other day starting Friday.
It will be a huge disappointment for the Bruins if they should lose to the Wings.
I agree with you entirely on this ....
Can you imagine if game 6 goes OT like you said and they have a Day game scheduled for game 7 (if it's a weekend, that could happen)
Is this post not correct ? this is what I went by for my post.
edit:
I see that this schedule has been changed, game 7 would be Wednesday, according to NHL.com
my first round predictions:
Bruins over Red Wings in 6- I've said it many times, there's no organization in all of sports that I respect more than the Red Wings. They have ALWAYS gone about business the right way. That said, I think the Bruins are just a little too deep for the Wings. Would an upset shock me? Absolutely not, but I think the B's have too much here
Canadiens over Lightning in 7- Two equally matched teams, but I give experience the nod in a 7th game
Penguins over Blue Jackets in 5- Kudos to the Jackets. They're a great story, but I think the Pens will be a little too much
Flyers over Rangers in 6- Flipping a coin here. Just a hunch that the Flyers get it done
Ducks over Stars in 6- The Ducks offense will be a bit too mighty for the Stars
Kings over Sharks in 6- In Quick we trust
Avalanche over Wild in 5- not sure if the Wild have enough scoring to keep up with the Avs
Blackhawks over Blues in 5- having a hard time picturing the struggling Blues suddenly turning it on against the defending champs

Habs over the Bolts in 6. Advantage MTL because Bishop is out

Last time when there was only one Canadian team in the Playoffs, The Habs won the Cup.
