Ugh, biggest game of the season and it's an 11:30pm puck drop for me. Thanks NHL.
Guess I'll just be catching the highlights in the morning.
OOTS didn't do us any favours again last night, so just keep winning.

I've never understood why the NHL lets west coast teams start their games at 7:30 local on weeknights. Wouldn't it make sense to hold them to 7 to make natural doubleheaders with the 7 pm eastern starts? There are five 7pm eastern starts tonight followed by one 7pm pacific and two 7:30 pacific starts. It makes no sense.

It appears the scheduling is for US national TV again. Knights @ Trashville starts at 6PM our time which pushes Oilers on ESPN back a half hour.
It isn't a league-wide issue. Nearly every Leafs home game starts at 7PM local and the whine would be loud if that ever changed. Same with most eastern time zone teams. They just push around the western teams to squeeze in double headers. Sportsnet is at least as bad for it as ESPN and TNT.
