So...how about that GM Jack Eichel?

Probably shouldn't have given Jeff Skinner an 8x9 contract, but what do I know

Horrible contract and that isn't hindsight. It was horrible the moment it was signed.

Doesn't help that Skinner has a career year playing beside Eichel and then is moved off his line the next year

With no fans at the games, timezones don't matter

Do you think the league would start some games at 10am / 11am local time?

I would love that since that would be 5pm/6pm my time here in Europe.

Catch a game at 6pm, another one at 10pm.

Mild wild, unedumcated guess is this (all times EST):

1 game at 4 pm. maybe a little later.

2 games at 7 pm (maybe stagger them by a half hour, in the hopes that people channel hop in between periods)

1 game at 10 pm.

Although I could certainly see them doing no overlaps, and just play three games a day. I'm not going to do the math, but I'm guessing this would add 3-4 days for the first two rounds.

But to directly answer your question, not a hope in hell.

They need to maximize TV ratings. No way people will watch at those times.

They will play the games when Sportsnet and NBC want them played.

Strategy might work if his base equaled Democrat’s base. Black vote sitting at home killed Hilary. Do you think any blacks are fretting over Biden’s “if you vote for Trump you ain’t black” quip right now.

If these riots in urban cores scare suburban mom’s who are now moving away from Trump and towards Biden, maybe this helps. We’ll see but I think the prevailing view is that people are sick of the bullpoop and that they equate the bullpoop with Trump. Nobody is more normal than Biden.

- Canada Cup

His slogan is, "I promise I will do absolutely nothing to upset anyone for 4 years."

And I don't think that's a bad strategy.

The one thing I always hate about being on the West Coast: sports ends by 10 pm. Boom, thanks for coming out, you are done.

I remember in 2009, we had rented a place in San Diego (depth of the US depression - 3 bedroom, 3 bath on Pacific Beach, bordering the Pacific Ocean - $175 franking dollars a night - bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!).

Anyhoo, the entire family goes to bed. Wedgie sneaks out, walks down the boardwalk to a sports bar. it's about 9:50 pm. Order a beer, ask the guy to put a game on - any game. I'm guessing he figures I'm from the East Coast, as he laughs and shakes his head.

I sat alone for the next couple of hours, watching basketball highlights on ESPN.

I hate basketball.

I disagree with your statement as games could start at between 1pm ~ 4pm EST which isn't ideal for us or the east coast.

I can't see them starting any games that early.

Remember: this is 100% about TV ratings. You can't get people to watch the games at 1 pm (except weekends, of course).

Or maybe you misinterpreted what I was stating:

It doesn't matter where the games are played. If the Leafs were playing the Lightning, you don't have to play it at 7 pm on the East Coast. You can play it at 4 pm on the West Coast - as long as it's played at 7 pm EST, the actual location of the game doesn't matter.
