Nosferatu comments in Puck The Media on the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals schedule.
Unfortunately, there are some serious NBA conflicts ahead for the NHL Stanley Cup 2009 finals schedule, which will likely mitigate any ratings success they might have otherwise had.
Most notable: Game 2, which is in a prime slot – Sunday in primetime – would go against Game 7 of the Lakers-Nuggets series on ABC (and we all know how powerful the Lakers are in attracting viewers).
And Game 4 on Thursday, which will definitely go against Game 1 of the NBA Finals. This is a pretty dreadful thought: that game, on Versus, going against a possible Kobe-LeBron matchup on ABC.
