Is it too late now to say sorry?
We’re closing in on the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs, as the Conference Finals are at their midway points, with just a few games remaining until the ultimate prize: the Stanley Cup. However, there’s a potential snag that could happen should the Eastern Conference Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Rangers go to a Game 7.
You see, pop sensation — and Maple Leafs super fan — Justin Bieber is scheduled to hold a concert at Madison Square Garden on June 14. Not too out of the ordinary, especially in the summer in New York City. But, you know what else could be happening that night? Game 7 between the Lightning and the Rangers… at Madison Square Garden!
If the Lightning-Rangers series goes seven games, Game 7 is scheduled to be played at Madison Square Garden on June 14.
Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at Madison Square Garden on June 14.
I enjoy anarchy like this.

This isn’t the first time concerts have conflicted with postseason sports games, as the Houston Astros moved the date of a Taylor Swift concert in 2015 for their playoff run. If the Astros can move a Taylor Swift concert, surely the Rangers can move Justin Bieber if the worst comes to pass?
Regardless, this must be Bieber’s revenge against the Lightning, who knocked out his favorite team the Maple Leafs in round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs. What goes around comes around!
