I was confused at the occasional two days off each series would get, but yeah, I see what you're saying and I agree. I'm certainly not a Montreal or Boston fan, but I don't think it's very fair to make them play back to back. This probably means, then, that the NHL try and force the Conference Semifinals round on Friday instead of this weekend.
In my team's series, certainly the Red Wings are not going to enjoy the travel, and fans out east are not going to enjoy more very late games.

I'm wondering why the schedule for the WCSF isn't out yet.. every series out west is finished already, and the rest of the ECSF will be determined tonight.
