This game starting at 8 shows just how stupid the NHL is. Almost no one in Edmonton wants this to start at 8, and no one in T.O. wants it to start at 10. Also, almost no one in either city wants it to start late so they can watch some other game before this one. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Every game should start at 7pm in the home market, 100% of the time. Let the people who want to watch multiple games sort out using their PVR or replay streams on Centre Ice.

I like that Leafs fans have to suffer for their hockey team once in a while. Normally all others have to shuffle around so they may be catered to. However, this is the perfect opportunity for the NHL to experiment with scheduling. Why not start Flames - Sens early so we can have a compressed Monday night triple header in Canada? Maybe see if the people would enjoy being able to watch more hockey.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
