NHL Playoff 2011 is upon us and the schedule has been announced for the rest of the first round of the playoffs. The games will no doubt bring alot of hype and excitement, and it can be expected that it will not be a short series.

Of course, Game 1 will occur tonight in Vancouver 10 PM Eastern on the Versus Network. Also, all the games will be played on Comcast Sports Net in Chicago for local coverage.

Tampa-Pittsburgh, Phoenix-Detroit, and New York-Washington will all be before the Canucks and Blackhawks face off, and should present an exciting night of hockey.

Friday April 15th will also see a 10 PM EST start in Vancouver for Game 2. After that game the series will head back to the United Center for a pair of games.

Games 3 and 4 will be 8 PM EST starts in Chicago before a national audience before heading back to British Columbia for Game 5. That would be only one of two games that evening on the 21st.

Game 6 would be on Sunday the 24th at 7:30 PM EST in Chicago, and would be the primetime game with three games during the day leading up to it. The time of Game 7 in Vancouver on the 26th has yet to be announced, but it can be assumed that it would be front and center on Versus.
