I understand the nhl with it's playoff scheduling and trying to satisfy the majority of the country,but to me it's bullshit.

Vancouver has earned their way to the Stanley Cup ,and by winning the president's trophy earned home ice advantage.

Why should the Canucks and their fans have to endure a 5:00pm local start to appease the rest of the country?

We've had to stay up late all through the playoffs to view west coast teams right from the start of the playoffs,and now it's an inconvinience?

Fuck Bruno Mars,and the rest of the galaxy family.

Vancouver earned home ice for the finals ,and the games should be played at a time most convinient to the team,and their fans.

Another thing to think about is the TV contracts...Bud Seilg had to fight for years to get the World Series out of prime time...and all he got were games 1 and 2 at 7:55

It is pretty horrible that they're having games at such a sucky time. I mean, basically, a deciding game may end for Van fans at like...8pm. Just, weird.

its fair I think. have to give them a chance to rest for the big dance. canucks will have 7 days off which is really nice. I dont think it matters at this point for rest over playing to keep sharp. its the finals so they will be ready. and kesler can rest his body. he will need it if its against boston or tampa.

its going to be one helluva ride

If it's against Boston of Tampa? Have you even stopped drinking in the Nucks won the west? :pound:

He made the post Thursday, Wayne.:)

My point was he said "if" it's against Boston or Tampa, like there was another choice, LOL. I was just joking because of his post earlier today when he said "aight, I'm sober now" lol.

Ah. Gotcha.:)

Hey, I wouldn't blame you guys for drinking for a few days. If the Bruins don't win the cup, I'll certainly be bummed, but I'll be happy for you Canucks fans. You deserve to finally win a cup. I just hope it's next year. :becky:

I do agree with the scheduling. You want to have both teams rested up for your championship series. All games in the Finals are usually always in prime time

You all do know it's the NBA Finals, it's the Cup Final, right?
