Now that the Eastern Conference Final is set, the National Hockey League has released the full schedule for both the East and West series.
The Western Conference Final begins Sunday at 8 p.m. on NBC Sports Network, TSN and RDS as the Los Angeles Kings take on the Phoenix Coyotes. TSN will air Games 1-3, then CBC takes over starting with Game 4 through the rest of the series. NBC airs one game of this series next Sunday.
Then on Monday, the Eastern Conference Final drops the first puck at 8 p.m. as blood rivals New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers square off for a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. The last time the Rangers and Devils faced each other in the ECF was in 1994 and the Rangers won that in a dramatic 7 game series and went on to beat Vancouver for its first Stanley Cup since 1940. And if I remember right, just like last year when the Bruins beat Vancouver, the city rioted. Some things never change.
Anyway, CBC and RDS will air all of the Eastern Conference Final. NBC Sports Network airs all but one game. NBC takes Game 3 next Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
We have the schedule from the National Hockey League.
