Notice to Montreal Canadiens fans: do not rely on the web for the schedule of the upcoming games in the series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The search engine is showing a clear error by listing Games 5, 6, and 7 all at 1:00 PM.
In the middle of the week, no less.
It was Maxime Truman of the site DansLesCoulisses who raised the alarm.
“Canadiens vs. Lightning: the start times for Games 5, 6, and 7 have not yet been determined.
But be sure of one thing: they will not all be at 1:00 PM.
Not during the week, either!
Google, are you okay?”
– Max Truman
There is no chance that Montreal Canadiens games would be played at 1:00 PM on a weekday.
The schedule for Games 5, 6, and 7 between the Montreal Canadiens and the Lightning remains to be confirmed
The start times for the upcoming games have simply not yet been set by the NHL.
The schedule will likely be influenced by how many teams are still alive in the other first-round series.
Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29 in Tampa, but the time is still to be confirmed.
Game 4 takes place tomorrow night at 7:00 PM at the Bell Centre.
If the Montreal Canadiens win, they will take a 3–1 lead in the series.
We are awaiting official confirmation from the NHL for the remaining games.
At the very least, Sunday night’s game will be the most important of the Montreal Canadiens’ season, and the most important game in the careers of several players on the team so far.
