Stanley Cup Finals Schedule: Penguins vs Red Wings

This appears to be bankable, finally. I hope the situation improves next year so that we don't have to have our championship held hostage by an indecisive and reluctant television network.

vs

Game 1 Sat. 5/30 Det 8PM NBC, CBC, RDS
Game 2 Sun. 5/31 Det 8PM NBC, CBC, RDS
Game 3 Tue. 6/2 Pgh 8PM VS, CBC, RDS
Game 4 Thu. 6/4 Pgh 8PM VS, CBC, RDS
Game 5* Sat. 6/6 Det 8PM NBC, CBC, RDS
Game 6* Tue. 6/9 Pgh 8PM NBC, CBC, RDS
Game 7* Fri. 6/12 Det 8PM NBC, CBC, RDS

*if necessary

all times Eastern

Game 2 was either going to be at 7 PM or 8 PM, depending on whether or not the NBA series between the Lakers and the Nuggets went far enough to cause an overlap. Since a seventh game in LA was not necessary (the Lakers took the series on Fri. 5/29), Game 2 from Detroit will start at 8 PM Eastern, just like all the others. (Confirmation here.)


NBC will not allow the Pens to put up the outdoor screen for games they broadcast. Versus has been allowing it up till now, so if past history holds true, the only games where you will be able to watch from outside the Igloo are Games 3 and 4, which are home games. Sounds like a bit of a parking mess. If I hear anything that changes this, I'll edit this paragraph.



Teams that the Red Wings have beaten to win their most recent Stanley Cups:
96/97 - Philadelphia Flyers
97/98 - Washington Capitals

01/02 - Carolina Hurricanes

07/08 - Pittsburgh Penguins
Substitute Them for Us in the above list, and you have this year's chronological run of our opposing teams through the postseason. Portentous, or Pointless? We report, you decide.
