Why are Detroit and Phoenix playing at 6:30 on a *weeknight*? Outside of the Olympics and holidays, I can’t remember a weeknight game ever starting before 7pm.
I think it was pushed up 30 minutes so TSN could also show Chicago/Nashville in its entirety at 9. Not sure what they’ll do if Wings/Coyotes go to OT, they won’t have TSN2 as a backup, as they’ll also be showing a game.
That leaves a bad taste in my mouth, personally. I think start times on weeknights (except for SCF games) should always be one of 7pm, 7:30pm or 8pm local time – nothing else.
Oilers were starting at 6pm local on weeknights during their 06 Run for TV. I assume Anaheim had some of those as well.
TSN2 is using the CSN Philly HD feed.
Especially bad starting at 6:30 ET considering that is, if I’m not mistaken, 3:30 in Arizona! I know the fans there “don’t count” according to some people, but that’s pretty rough. I can’t imagine local TV ratings will be very high for this one.
