For Eastern teams on west coast road trips, they're starting every game at 10 or 10:30 pm Eastern Time and the games are ending well after midnight. Sure, the games are normal start times for the home teams, but they're still going to mess up the rhythms of the visitors.

I think the problem with midnight hockey would be more for TV viewership.
The average fan isn't going to watch hockey at midnight. If I am up at midnight on a weekend I am not watching hockey
