Game 5, if necessary, would likely be an 8 PM start. Interesting ... thought they were focusing on having the seeding round-robin games for the afternoons, in part because the regular season O/T format provides more confidence for the next game to be close to on time. Guess 4 and 5 being back-to-back they want to give a bit more time between games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seeding games never have to go back 2 back (they only have 3 games instead of a possible 5 as well). It also ensures the NHL will have games on every day, even if all the other series had ended in 3 or 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Also Leafs Game 3 is Thursday at 8:00 pm and Game 4 is Friday at TBD The Leafs Game 4 is very likely to be Friday at 8:00 pm, cause I don't think they will want teams on a B2B with an afternoon game after a night game. (In fact this is even prohibited in the CBA. You can't have an afternoon start off a B2B if the first game is a night game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
