If there are 3 games in an arena, the times locally should be 12-4-8, with 4 being the RR, so....yuck for most folks.
Edmonton supposedly will delay by up to 30 minutes to wait for a Toronto game to finish.
NBC on the weekends knows they can schedule the RR at Noon and it fits the network window.
Sportsnet/CBC will want Totonto in prime time with Vancouver to follow - notice only 2 games in Toronto that day.
This is a made for TV tournament - PLUS they also know Red Sox at NYY is on at 7
