Monday's Game

[Drake744]

So, I got curious after so many of my fellow Preds fans (both friends and family) were unaware of this.....how many are aware that game is a 2pm start? How many will be able to watch it? I know not EVERYONE is off work so that's odd on Colorado's part. I assume they'll have a lot of fans there but........I dunno, just weird to me.

Ill be at work.

 

[golfmade]

That means a 4am start time for me, yuck...

 

[kypredsfan]

I'll be sleeping. I'll record it and watch it when I get up around 5ish

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Working. Just saw the commercial for it on NHL Network.

 

[Seth Lake]

I knew. I'll be at work.

 

[PredsV82]

Presumably this will be one of those games they try to get a lot of school kids to attend....

 

[predfan98]

I knew. It's a holiday.

We play in Detroit the next day, so it's a good thing it's early for the team

 

[gratefulpred]

Well, looks like I will have the opportunity to catch this one on the radio in the truck as I to will be working. Be kind of cool, I have only heard bits and pieces of games from the radio crew.

This means we will be well rested when we welcome the Forces of Evil the next night.

They started early on Presidents Day last year--seems like we played NYI. I was at the beauty parlor and annoyed the heck out of the stylist checking on scores. Will happen again but I'll be close to done by 2.

 

[Cashville]

Yes I noticed and it's total fail. I have never had President's Day off and likely never will. Financial services industry sucks for holidays.

New Year's Day
Easter (Friday or Monday observed)
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas Day

No other official holidays.

I have tickets to this game! first preds game of the season for me on monday

 

[ThirdManIn]

I'll be getting out of Arabic class at 2:05. I actually may leave early

By the way, this should be a lopsided poll. Anyone who wasn't aware of the start time will be upon reading the poll question

I guess technically, "currently aware" is before finishing the question haha

And as for me, I'm currently unemployed and looking for a new job so......yeah I'll be able to watch it. "Lucky me."

 

[PredsFanFromla]

I will able to watch since i get off of work at 1:00

 

[doug88]

I'll be watching it at home since it will be like 9pm back home in switzerland hehe perfect schedule

 

[Pinguinla]

Christmas Day

No other official holidays.

And then there is everyone who works in the Armed Forces and Emergency Services which have NO holidays off. And the slave industry (Retail and Food) which are lucky to have Thanksgiving and Christmas at this point, although having Thanksgiving off is becoming more and more rare, and some places (Waffle House, Hardees, Walgreens that I know of) work on Christmas.

All of these people also work weekends, and work hours outside of the 9-5 world.

 

[Legionnaire11]

for the record, when I was lucky enough to work a 9-5 office job, we rotated each year between MLK and Presidents day.

 

[thecloser]

Urgh don't remind me! I only got Christmas off over here, plus I'm there all day until like 7 or 8 on some days
