Why don’t they have this game on HOckey Day in Canada?
THey put this on a Sunday, which supposedly the NHL is promoting as Hockey Day in America.
It makes absolutely no sense???
Anyone notice the game time was changed from 6 p.m. (ET) to TBA right after the NHLPA approved the game? I guess the players are worried about playing at 4 p.m. local in the freezing cold.
For comparision purposes, the Canadiens-Oilers game started an hour later in November.
