Carolina vs Toronto 2PM weekday Start?

[ColdSteel2]

Chicago also plays games in the Summer when more people are on vacation

Erm, children and teens mostly.

Don’t forget millennials.

Here's the game page -

Toronto Arenas - Montreal Wanderers - December 19th, 1917

Don't see confirmation that it started at 2:00 though, I heard on 1050 that somebody dug it up and it actually started at 8pm..

???

That does, indeed, indicate an 8:15 PM start time. Full translation of that is

Tonight
at 8:15
on the artificial ice

Toronto vs. Wanderers
_________________
Admission (Wood Ave. Entrance), 50¢. Main Entrance. Amphitheater, 8(?)¢, and $1.05. Promenade, $1.30. Loges, $1.55

The tickets are on sale at the Arena.

The "Arena" they mention is the aforementioned Montreal Arena which was located at St. Catherine Street and Wood Ave. and would burn down 2 weeks later when its ice plant caught on fire.

CBC has a good article discussing it here

So it's actually the final game of the first 100 years of NHL play.

Somebody in the Leafs front office really screwed up. The timing is awkward and has no historical significance, and the opponent (with all due respect) is totally inappropriate.

I couldn't think of a more anticlimactic way to commemorate such a historic event.

I actually think it's sort of neat. I'll be watching, and I know most of my friends will be.

9 PM start here. Can't complain

How dare the NHL soil the sacred halls of the Air Canada Centre by allowing backward redneck filth such as the Carolina Hurricanes to defile the Holy City of Toronto. They are ritually unclean!

Gee whiz the elitism by some fans is just absurd. Carolina is a pretty fun team and it should make for an entertaining game for school children to enjoy.

If the Canes didn't like Dorothy in Kansas, wonder what they're gonna do to the kids at the ACC

? That was a tornado, not a hurricane. They're two different things.

I dunno, done medium rare with a nice side of grilled asparagus it's a rather nice meal honestly.

Fun at parties, you must be

Absolutely. I make killer desserts.

Depends on the wine pairing, I think. If it's a pinot noir or a malbec yes. Cab Sauv just overpowers it.

for the school children, i hope

The school children are the deserts. I mean why do you think they call them Girl Scout cookies?

I meant no disrespect to Carolina. They are an exciting team, but they have no historical ties to Toronto. It should have been against an Original Six team.

This thread is taking a strange turn. And I think for the worse.

 

[ffh]

Someone should have informed darling of the start time.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

It is mind-boggling that they didn't schedule this game to be against Habs. Classic NHL idiotism right there.

You are missing the point completely.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i'm glad that everyone can watch this game and see why our attendance isn't great

why would you want to pay and watch this inept franchise?

Sounds like a modest proposal.

 

[MR4]

2pm hockey is very entertaining

Does it really matter who the game is against? It's a regular season game. It would have been nice if the game was against a rival but I don't think there are any big regular season games until the very end of the season where they decide playoffs outcomes.

It would still be just another game if it was against the Habs.

What in Gods name happened to Justin Faulk? Got to fed up with his lack of production and cut him a few days ago for Heinen. I really thought this was going to be the year the Canes broke through with Faulk leading the charge with his usual 15+ goals but with a big bump in assists. Instead he's been one of the biggest disappointments this season.
