The NHL announced the schedule for the conference finals, taking into account arena availability issues in Tampa and the needs of its TV"partners."

Boston and Tampa Bay will be shaking off rust by the time they get started, on Saturday. The West will start Sunday at Vancouver, with the Canucks facing either the Detroit Red Wings or San Jose Sharks.  The Red Wings-Sharks series may end Tuesday or could go to a seventh game, which would be played on Thursday in San Jose.

Here's the NHL's schedule, with the TV options for U.S. viewers and with scenarios for Vancouver playing Detroit or San Jose. All times are Pacific. And games can be heard on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.
