I assume they wanted the game in prime time. Plus the entire hockey night in Canada thing which is the only reason the games taken this long to get under way.

Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts generally start at 7 pm. So this 8 pm start isn't for their benefit.

Are the Boston fans still freaking out? It's FINALLY game day...

its so the games start at 5 in the west. For the weekend, I don't know why it matters. During the week it makes sense.

First game of the series, it might take 30 minutes to get started.

I'm counting on that since I won't get home until about 5:30 (8:30 for you people on 'real' time).

GDT wound up being more abbreviated than hoped...I was on deadline all week and apparently I got a bit stressed and wasn't feeling up to doing anything but lay in bed yesterday, so I had to cram the non-stat stuff into the morning...now off to work!

LGP!
