This start time.

On a Friday. Ok fine.

Imagine the NFL starting a game with Patrick mahomes when it’s 11 pm on the east coast.

You can’t imagine because they would never do that….

Hopefully Gary is getting lit up from all sides of media about how much his league is swamp.

Send in the clowns…

Very true.
And yet - so much more violent
Yes, also true.

The Ted Green-Wayne Maki stick incident remains as one of hockey's darkest moments.

Gary doesn't "do" public opinion.

His job is to increase revenues and he's very good at it--that's why owners love him.

True words right here. I really hate that slimeball.

I don’t see any reason it couldn’t have been 6:00pm.

Just speaking from my own selfish perspective.

It's a 750 puck drop for me which is absolutely fine.

And if the choices are a later evening puck drop versus morning/early afternoon, I'm choosing late evening puck drop 4 times out of 3

Took the dog for a walk last game and it led to me coming back to a 4-1 Oilers lead at the 2nd intermission.

Planning on doing the same again tonight. A 3-1 series lead with a chance to close it out on home ice sounds nice.

We start our games at 730. How big of a problem do you have with that
It’s another hour and 20 min later than usual, Oiler fans In the ESTare looking at watching hockey until 1:30am on a Sunday night. Seems pretty obvious why people would have a problem with it. There’s zero reason for this game not to be at 6:00pm.

And that’s fine, it’s not even a huge deal (although still stupid) for me in the MST but it’s literally just a big FU to the Oiler fans by the NHL/SN so they can make a little more revenue.

10:50 in the East. 11:50 in ATL, and thats if puck dropped happens as scheduled which it wont. Most likely, midnight in ATL, and 12:30AM tomorrow morning in Newfoundland. Pretty cool of the NHL scheduling to make this game harder for Canadians to watch than the Mongolian Falconry Finals on ESPN7.
The stupid thing is nobody (other than diehard Oiler fans) in the US cares about this series, the numbers they've been getting for this series have been brutal. SN is such a cuck that they can't even get a Canadian team in a featured time slot.

Wonder how much revenues would have increased with a commish that actually cared about the game and marketed its stars. I think a good chunk more than they have.

This is where a real contender steps up and puts the opponent in the 3-1 death grip. I liked that we did that against CGY, haven't seen that level of hunger from the Oilers since that series.

If you want to win the cup, you need at least one short series. Teams like 13-14 Kings are the outlier, and even they had a short series in the finals.

Game is Monday in Newfoundland
Gosh you’re right. That extra 30 minutes.

9pm in Halifax, 930pm in NFLD. Ha ha, the things you remember from your childhood. :)

You are 100% correct. Back to back games with feet on the throat, is what a contender does in this spot. And then finishes the
LA Golfers out on Tuesday at Rogers.
