Twins & Wolves TV Schedule could be 1st Round problem.

With the Twins season getting underway & the Timberwolves still playing in the regular season, it could affect the Wild TV Schedule for the first round. FSN North has a lot of Twins commitments & 45 still has 3 Wolves games to air. The only first round games FSN North could air are games that would have to fall on the 13th, 20th & 21st. The Wolves have games on 45 on the 11th, 15th & 16th plus an FSN game on the 9th. I hope Versus picks up the games that have the conflicts. 1st round games on Versus are subject to blackout but if there is no local television I think the blackout would be lifted.

If the Wild make the 2nd round, this should not be an issue. Versus has exclusive rights to 2 games of every 2nd round series & 45 won't have any Wolves games to deal with. I expect FSN North to air any game that does not have a Twins conflict though.

45 Would most likely tell the T-Wolves to Screw off, What would the fans rather watch Wild Playoffs or the Crappy T-Wolves?

If 45 did do that, that would be just fine with me. I'm sure most of Minnesota probably feels the same way, I just wonder about the reality of that happening.

im sure if there is conflict, the twins could be moved to WFTC. Also, with the games in colorado the start times for wolves and twins could be pushed up or the wild pushed back
