arenas have to keep the dates open just in case it does happen.

The Flyers are going to shock the world and go on a 24 game win streak to the Cup.

I second that..

I am pretty positive there are contingency plans in place in case an arena needs to be used for a playoff game.

For example, if a Boston show at the Garden is planned, there is definately a deal in place that if the Celtics make the finals and a game needs to be played, that the concert gets moved to a different time (possibly at the end of the tour).

Too many chemistry problems on this Ranger's team for them to make it far into the playoffs. That's too bad considering the jack they spent trying to make the team a contender. Maybe they should've gotten a center that likes feeding the puck to Jagr.

What really worries me is they'll have to consider Knicks playoff dates...

Rangers clinch playoff berth
The Rangers snapped a three-game losing skid and moved three points within the second-place Penguins in the Metropolitan Division with a win over the Blue Jackets on Monday.


How do we guarantee they lose via sweep in Round 1?

I cannot afford a travel change.

Playoffs start April 13th

What would happen if they make it passed the first round? This is a very concerning question, as I have already requested off work, booked flights/hotels ect.

mwplum

Me too, all non refundable, and coming from Vancouver....I'm terrified of this. Is there potentially the same problem in Philly (as the Flyers one of 3 teams vying for the last 2 playoff spots?)

The playoff games will be scheduled around when the arena is free. Simple.

You really think that they would move a game that is supposed to be played on May 1st until the 3rd? It has happened before but having 3 nights off in the playoffs during a series is almost unheard of.

chitownp76

There has to be a rhyme and reason as to how this works. They would have to play a Thursday and Saturday game. Or maybe im just think positive.

Here is what happened in Tampa

Happened in Philly as well for the Miley show (not that anyone cared) but it appears as though it would be rescheduled

MSG is notorious for scheduling events without taking into account that their teams that play there might actually make playoffs. The year they started renovations, they had them scheduled to start in may when the Knicks where close to making playoffs I think. I went to a boxing match there in summer of 2014 where if the Rangers who I think were in the conference finals, hadn't won the previous game, would have been scheduled to host game 7 the same day the boxing event was. It was something like that, I don't follow hockey so don't quote me on the exact round or game scenario Also, I believe same thing could have happened for a Clapton show in April 2015. I believe there was a show where this did happen recently too. I want to say phish, but think it was some other hippy band. I don't know of any other arena that does this. It's pretty piss poor that 1. They have no faith their teams make the playoffs and 2. They don't care, and just book shows anyway for the money. They'd for sure cancel the concert.

A Raptors playoff run could end up conflicting with the Toronto dates at the Air Canada Center. They look good enough to make it to the conference finals this year.

chitownp76

NHL Playoffs are scheduled to begin April 13. First round should be over April 26th. Lets just hope that if the Flyers win Round 1, they will start Round 2 away. If the Rangers win Round 1, hope they are home to begin Round 2. If they both lose round 1 there are no worries, even if the series goes 7 games.

^^^^Hope that made sense

You'd have to worry if they make it to the second round, which last year saw them at home the Thursday before, away the Saturday before, but back home the Monday.

"For the first two rounds, the higher-seeded team has home-ice advantage (regardless of point record)."
And that means home games for Game 1, 3, 4 and 7 (if necessary).

This is true, but looking at last years playoff schedule, they allotted two days(in some cases) in between games to teams had to travel. So if the rangers were to make it to round two, Hope they are the home team. Get their home games out of the way April 28th and 30th and get out of town!

I understand, I hope they go far into the playoffs but hope it doesn't mess with the dates. I'm in the same boat with Toronto.

The Stanley Cup finals in New Jersey were delayed for a day due to a Radiohead concert back in 2012.

It's hockey. Nobody cares.
