Screw them.

Doesn’t matter to me as long as it’s not done last minute

Screw them.

Logical move by TNT as the Red Wings seem poised to to become a player in the Atlantic.

NHL has a 21-day window so.....

The Celtics are in Orlando that day so no arena issue. From a national ratings standpoint it makes sense.

Considering I'll be at the OU-TCU game at noon I would love if the game got moved so I can tune in right after the football game and also not have to stream it.

Pens getting the snub? cue a call from Mario to Gary.

Can hear the whining from Pittsburgh all the way here in NH. Not sure if Mario was a better player or cry baby, was great at both.

I hope not, I was supposed to take the toddler to this one :|.

I'm not "cool" enough to bring him to a game that starts right before we normally start bathtime!

Any idea why the Celtics can never get a home game on Christmas and it’s always on the road?

They did it a few years ago but it may be as simple as the team and Garden want to give everyone the day off.

The black Friday matinee is a tradition, stupid TNT trying to screw with it.

Pitt and Buffalo produce very good ratings , better than Detroit. I am surprised they would do that just because Detroit has gotten off to a good start and Buffalo hasn't.

i hope not.
I like to bail out of work that day and watch the game at a bar.
