Last year, the start times for Games 1 and 2 were announced on Monday, October 3 which is the day after the regular season ended. For this year, that would be Monday, October 2 if they stick to the same schedule of announcing this information. I think it's too late if you wait until the WC games are over (late Wednesday night) and the WC teams aren't going to be hosting Games 1 and 2 anyway.
