Planning a vacation in early May (May 5-11)- Playoffs

[Jabroni]

I went 2 years ago to Bermuda (saw all the playoff games)

and last year to Turks and Caicos (saw all the playoff games)

In Turks and Caicos (I was there as well), there was a bar/pub that had DirecTV which had MSG. I'm sure they had NBCSN as well.

Basically, if you can find a bar or pub with satellite, you're in good shape.

Cool, thanks, that makes me feel better!

BTW, you ever gamble at the Grand Biloxi? I used to work with casinos. Biloxi and Tunica are two of the more casino heavy areas in the country.

That was the first Casino I ever went to. I still frequent the GB but, the Hard Rock has become my favorite. The only reason I go to the Beau Rivage is because of their great hotel rooms and pool (the casino's there are WOAT).

Would a sports bar in Cali have a random Rangers game on? Cali is not exactly Montreal.

2 years ago I was in Hawaii for the playoffs and the Outdoor Sports Bar at the resort I stayed at had the Ranger games on...it was actually pretty cool watching a 7ET game at 2 in the afternoon.

So I'm guessing it was either Jimmy's Dive bar or Danny Buoy's? haha I spent most of my time there, hammered. My name is now on a ceiling fan blade in Jimmy's Dive bar.

It was Danny Buoy's.

When the Rangers are on and I'm away, I try to catch the games. This particular vacation I only caught 1 of the games.

I live on Maui and can get the sports bar out here to play games. I am sure they will in Cali.

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I almost feel like this isn't thread worthy, but not sure where to put it. I'm thinking by May 5th, round 2 would be on the way and that means I think all games will be on the NBC channels. If the Rangers are fortunate enough to still be alive, do you guys think all of the games will be on TV in any hotel room? Do most have NBCSN? I really want to go on vacation, but I also would hate to miss the Rangers in the playoffs. Since I started watching I've only missed 2 Ranger playoff games and they both came last year against Boston when the Rangers were already down 3-0. Should I bring a laptop for a stream or will I be able to find the Rangers? I want to go to California, btw.

Bring a laptop no matter what and streamo that stuff if need be

When i lived in LA i went to Buffalo Wild Wings and watched NYR play all the time. If you ask, they will put on whatever game you would like to watch

I was at a pretty nice hotel in Florida that didn't have NBCSN during the beginning of the olympics. Luckily, I called ahead and asked and was able to stream on my Ipad. My guess is unless you are somewhere pretty remote, you'll be able to find a bar with the games if your hotel doesn't have them.

With the variation of expectations from the HFboard here, and my personal expectations on the Rangers this season, I'm quite concerned on how far this team can really go into the playoffs if some of the right pieces fall into place.

That said, I am travelling to Europe from May 12 through deep June and I am troubled in my ability to find any remote places to watch/stream the ECF or even the Finals. I have the NHL gamecenter app on my android which streams fine around here (NJ/NYC) when I'm not near a television (unlimited data on VZW or Wifi). The last three years Conference games started May 13 - May 16.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where games may possibly be broadcasted in any of the major cities in Europe? Or should I just hope my trusted app gets me through some games on wifi? Any help would be appreciated thank you!
