The NHL's version of the 'Frozen Four' is already underway!
The conference final weekend got started today when the Habs got destroyed at home 7-2 in game 1 of the Eastern final to the Rangers. Rangers lead the series. They play again on Monday.
The Kings are back in the Western final for the third straight season, in a rematch with the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks from last year.

Both series in the US are on NBC and NBCSN. All seven games of Habs/Rangers on CBC, while CBC will get the Hawks/Kings from game 3 on. TSN will finish their NHL campaign with the first two games of the Western series.
TSN's final NHL broadcast will be in that Kings/Hawks game 2 from Chicago on Wednesday. It will be an end of an era until 2026, so watch those two games for now. TSN has done a lot for the NHL, but they have an even stronger relationship with the IIHF, the sport's governing body. Will miss them, but will continue on a regional basis next season.
