The NHL is slowly leaking the schedule for the first round playoff matchups piecemeal which is frustrating as hell but luckily the entire schedule for the Toronto Maple Leafs' series with the Boston Bruins managed to make its way to Greg Brady:
So, G1-Wed, G2-Sat4, G3-Mon6, G4-Wed8, G5-Fri10, G6-Sun12, G7-Mon13

That means that the series will be as follows:
Game 1: Wednesday May 1 in Boston
Game 2: Saturday May 4 in Boston
Game 3: Monday May 6 in Toronto
Game 4: Wednesday May 8 in Toronto
Game 5*: Friday May 10 in Boston
Game 6*: Sunday May 12 in Toronto
Game 7*: Monday May 13 in Boston
* denotes that these games are if necessary and will only be played if the Leafs fail to sweep the Bruins.
So it looks like there will be no Saturday night game in Toronto in the first round which is a shame but beggars can't be choosers. This is happening and that's pretty great. Plus, there's always the second round.
Go Leafs Go!
