I think the Canadian division only starts Tuesday. Not 100% sure. I read Wednesday I thought. They were talking of moving a Van/Cal game to an earlier start so it could be followed by the 8pm early game 1. That would make sense, they likely don't want to fall to far behind US series.

there's only one playoff game set on the schedule so far..... Boston versus Washington Saturday night
i honestly can't imagine the ratings for Vancouver versus Calgary midday midweek to wrap up who finishes last in the less than great white north .... i'd rather watch 2018 European Poker

Habs - Leafs ...........Oilers - Jets . All Canadian plus All in the Same Region ....Bonus ...Sharper Rivalries .....Bonus ....Time Zones same in one ...only an hour difference in the other ....Bonus . As a Habs Fan I don't like our chances but that's why you play the Games ......Goaltending like most Playoff Series almost always is the Key and these Teams do have Question Marks in that Area .

Weird wrinkle this year...Vegas is the only team in the Pacific time zone. So there will be limited double headers. Luckily the schedule being spread out SHOULD make for a better experience for us in the Atlantic time zone.

They're going to have to do that. No way they start Edmonton games at 10 and risk viewers for McDavid being lost to an early start OT game.
