I noticed when the Leafs play the Canucks in Vancouver the game won't be starting at 7:00 PM EST/4:00 PM PST which is something their fans hated and blamed the Leafs for that always happening. Instead it's starting at 9:00 PM EST/6:00 PM PST since it's on Wednesday March 6, 2019. If anything I say it's worse for them because it's a weekday game, although they got their wish of no more 4:00 PM PST against the Leafs on a Saturday.
When Toronto plays in Edmonton that game is on Saturday March 9, 2019 at 7:00 PM EST/5:00 PM MST.
That decision was all about McDavid vs Matthews being on Saturday. Leafs games on Saturdays will always cater to the EST market. The Western markets just have to deal with it.
