[Bill Brasky]

does anybody know the schedule for the next round yet?

i'm assuming since game 1 will be friday it will be:

fri 5th - @ ottawa
sun 7th - @ ottawa
tues 9th - @buf
thurs 11th - @buf
sat 13th - @ott
mon 15th - @buf
wed 17th - @ott

[Demon]

I think i read somewhere that Ottawa has the arena booked both Saturday and Sunday.

So i'm assuming, Friday Game 1, Monday Game 2, then Wed and Fri back in Buffalo. But i have no clue... lol

[PUCKER]

I dont know if you saw Ebs thread or not,but their arena is booked this weekend with Dora so Im assuming it will start out as Demon mentioned.

[Michael82]

I really wonder what they are going to do with the schedule. There is a bunch of conflicts....

Ottawa - Dora the Explorer on Saturday 5/6 and Sunday 5/7.

Buffalo - Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert on Friday night 5/12

Buffalo - NLL Championship on Saturday night 5/13

[Michael82]

I've heard before that Ottawa is scheduled to open the series on Friday night, May 5th...and thats why it's a good thing the Sabres didn't go to a game 7. Maybe the Sabres will get back 2 back homes games on Wed and Thurs? :idunno:

If this is the case....

Game 1 - @Ottawa - Friday, May 5th
Game 2 - @Ottawa - Monday, May 8th
Game 3 - @Buffalo - Wednesday, May 10th
Game 4 - @Buffalo - Thursday, May 11th
Game 5 - @Ottawa - Saturday, May 13th
Game 6 - @Buffalo - Monday, May 15th
Game 7 - @Ottawa - Wednesday, May 17th

I think they are more likely to spread the series out then give anybody back to back games, especially since you have to figure TV into the deal.

It looks like that is what is going to happen tho. They'll say that it's because of the long break from game 1 to game 2.

[SabreEleven]

I can't find any thing official yet. I bet they are waiting until after tonights game to annouce it.

[generalmills]

does anyone know when the games will be played yet? It's almost Thursday!!:tap: :tap:
