Year after year, June after June I want to get on with my summer. I mean get on with your summer. And then at night if the Oilers are still in it, you get to watch some hockey at the beach or whatever I know it'll never happen, but there could be benefits to starting the season a couple of months later. No competition with MLB playoffs and the NFL to start the season, no NBA playoffs at the end of the season. You run it Jan-Sep.

With baseball, they have a start time, and unless there are extenuating circumstances, they stick to it. To the minute. Want to have all your ceremonies and banner raisings and whatever else? Awesome - have it done before the stated "puck drop" time. I don't know if you'd want to play a lot of hockey in Vegas and Dallas and Florida and Utah in July and August. Some of those places have a hard enough time with the ice in Winter!

Their ice is bad enough in May and June. Our ice gets bad in April and May. The league doesn't care about ice.
