The Leafs already did this once, during the ALCS. Now two Toronto teams are doing it again. 

Hoping to avoid conflicts with the much higher profile Jays' World Series games, the Leafs are moving the start time of their Sabres match on Saturday by two hours to 5 PM, and again on Tuesday to 6 PM when they face off against the Flames.

And the Raptors, who were to tip off vs. the Rockets on Wednesday, will now be doing it at 6:30 PM. 

(They frame this as helping to promote the Jays and so fans don't have to choose what to watch, but my guess is that advertisers on the broadcasts won't get the eyeballs they want if everybody turns into the Jays games.)

Interesting that only one of the games rescheduled is on Sportsnet, the Leafs on Saturday. The other two games are on TSN.
