4/12 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

With the NHL & AHL Playoffs starting later this week, I will show the start dates of the different playoff series. Also in the Major Junior, 5 of the 6 League Semifinal Series are known right now as we had 2 game 7's in the OHL. Plus the Brandon Wheat Kings knocking out the Saskatoon Blades last night in 6 games where it will be an Eastern Conference Finals Rematch against the Calgary Hitmen where the Hitmen swept the Wheat Kings last year.
