Hey, we have a start date now. In fact, we have the full slate of the first-round schedule. It is remarkably consistent: The Islanders play Stanley Cup Playoffs hockey every other day. What a beautiful sight.
It also looks like the NHL finally started to stagger the start times—which means we won’t have to watch intermissions. We can just watch more hockey. The Battle of Florida runs on the same nights as our series, and we can actually catch some of it.
The New York Islanders begin their first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday at noon on NBC.
