Mlb Finals Tickets
Why don’t the Stanley Cup Playoffs have a set date like the MLB, NBA, and NHL?
The playoff dates in the other three leagues are set. The next round of the Stanley Cup Finals are whenever the round ends. Why don’t they have set dates? Be more convenient so we can buy airplane tickets in ADVANCE.

hmmmm….reasons the NHL cant do what the others do…
1) (lack of)shared venues…Baseball doesn’t share it’s facilities (for the most part) with anyone else-some of the indoor parks have things like monster trucks and auto shows etc..but schedulers work to make sure these things never conflict.Ditto with the NFL.During the Lightning-Caps series they had to play on back to back nights….because of a graduation(The Arena was booked for U of South Florida commencement)
2) In the case of the NBA and NHL-in some places they share facilities(Celtics and Bruins for example).The NBA generally insists on having “first dibs” in the event of schedule conflicts-this is usually left up to the arena operators to resolve this.(it has nothing to do with Collective Bargaining Agreements)
3) TV…(and this probably the biggest)The NHL’s TV demands are different because the NHL has broadcast agreements with networks in both the US and Canada.What might be suitable for NBC/Versus in the US might not jive with CBC/TSN-RDS in Canada-this makes the whole equation that much more complex for the NHL. conflicts do happen-3 years ago there was a stink in Detroit because the Red Wings were in the finals at the same time the Pistons were in the conference finals-while they don’t share buildings,three games ended up going head-to head on TV(and there were empty seats in both arenas).Again..in that Pens-Caps series I mentioned-the 5th game was moved up to a 12;30 start-because NBC had rights to the game-but also had rights to the Kentucky Derby which was running the same day.
In a nutshell..that’s pretty much it..the NHL does have a cut-off date (June 17) by which all playoff series must be complete(that is in the CBA)
