Busy Florida sports weekend causing schedule issues for Leafs-Panthers series Florida MapleLeafs Panthers
What do you get when you cross Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, and Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews?While Toronto will be hosting the Florida Panthers for Games 1 and 2 on Tuesday and Thursday, dates for Games 3 and 4 on the road have yet to be announced.
Part of the problem seems to stem from the fact that the Miami area is already hosting two major sporting events this weekend: a Miami Heat-New York Knicks playoff game on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., as well as the Formula One Miami Grand Prix with testing and qualifying events on Friday and Saturday, and the full race on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday night is a traditional sweet spot for playoff hockey games — especially a big-market team like the Leafs, but it appears the logistical hurdles will be felt by both schedulers and fans interested in attending alike, with road closures and, well, a heck of a lot of extra tourists expected throughout the city.
"The F1 thing is a problem all weekend regardless," Florida Hockey Now's George Richards stated today. IF Game 3 is on Sunday, it will avoid going head2head with Heat-Knicks Game 3 in Miami — but will be going up against the F1 race at JRS/Hard Rock…The F1 thing is a problem all weekend regardless.
