Today’s recommendation is stolen directly from a superior league. Today I want to fix the daily schedule. The beautiful thing about the NFL is I always know when a game is going to be on. Thursday after dinner, Sunday at 11, 2, and 6, and Monday night. Easy. Occasionally they trick me with a bonus early game in Europe or on a December Saturday. Which is nice. But they always have their basic schedule. It’s dependable, predictable, and comfortable.
So, NHL, the time is now to give us schedule consistency. I’m starting with Saturday and forcing all teams to play in one the following four timeslots: 11 am, 2 pm, 5 pm, or 8 pm. Every Saturday is an NHL quadruple header. We’re doing the same thing on Sundays. Games start at 11, 2, or 5. Obviously, this schedule is going to be thin during the NFL season, but the point is to build predictability so when the NFL ends the NHL is ready to own Sunday sports TV.
Weekdays are a little trickier because fans are less likely to bend their schedule to the league if they play with puck drops in different time zones too much. So while my preference would be to play games at either 5, 6:30, or 8 I’m not sure how feasible that is. Instead, I’m telling fans there will be a game starting at 5 pm and 8 pm every single night. There are enough west coast teams now that this shouldn’t be a problem. Yes, mountain time teams like Edmonton will get screwed with an 8 pm local start every once in a while, but not one cares about us. Every night we’re getting a double header.
tldr: We're fixing the schedule with predictable and consistent game time slots. Hockey every weeknight has hockey starting at 5 and 8. Every Saturday is an 11, 2, 5, and 8 o'clock quadruple header.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
