Not my usual column or ranting, but merely a request. Does anyone know when the 2007 NHL Conference Semifinals begin? I looked up on ESPN.com, NHL.com, Versus.com, even Wikipedia, and no one has the answer. They all know the latest the Stanley Cup Playoffs can go to, and that's June 11 (Game 7 of the Cup Finals, if necessary), but not about what's happening now. I guess the semis might start Wednesday, since all the conference quarterfinal series end either Monday, Apr. 23 or Tuesday, Apr. 24, if they went the full seven games. Could someone give me the correct answer? You will get my thanks, and not be called a rube, or anything worse.
