So people going to the game don’t have time to do anything after work except go straight to the arena?

Believe it or not the east coast is not the be all end all of the universe.

It’s Sunday tomorrow.

Also they always make the games at like 8 or 9 pm EST for the conference finals and SCF. Even for west coast games. They should do it for this game too.

I mean in general not necessarily today specifically.

East coasters whining about time zones and completely ignoring the people who actually live in those markets is a very east coast thing to do.

10-12 years and the east coast is going to be both coasts anyway.

My random guy on the internet prediction that will prove wise and true: either the Stars or Knights will win the Cup, stomping the Panthers in the Finals. I still have faith that all attempts to carry Fred Andersen to the Cup will inevitably end in tears, and the Oilers don't play enough defense to get through four playoff rounds.

Got a sneaky feeling the Stars are going to have to overcome refs wearing Kraken jerseys these last 1-2 games though. (Not watching the game, I'll do that tomorrow.)

But it's being played for the east coast time zone complainers. How dare you not help with the ratings.

Maybe it’s just me but having 2 of the best and most exciting players in the world play from 10:20 pm until 1 am on the east coast on a Sunday night is bad business. Just make the game at 8 pm eastern.

You're damned if you do damned if you don't. 10pm is 7pm in Vegas' home market. If you play at 4pm here people are at work and not watching.

Starting the game at 8 pm local is crazy -and pretty much every game the Oilers have had has been that late. My kids can maybe watch one period. Hell, it's a toss up if I can make it through the third myself.

It's a Sunday game and doesn't even make sense to start it at 10pm est. They didn't even announce the time until after the Leafs were eliminated so it's not like they were expecting a back to back. I am not sure what the league was thinking.

1. :respek: thanks homie. the wife was amazing and our older daughter (2 years old) is absolutely obsessed with her and it rules

2. Look man, she's gotta learn some hard lessons about the unfairness of life so what better way to learn than by being a Philly sports fan!

From the very beginning the only things on a screen that hold her attention are: bluey, sesame street, and sports which includes, of course, tons of hockey.

I successfully have her chanting "hockey, hockey, hockey..." when we go to put it on and she asks for it all the time now. Fatherhood is going according to plan :v:
