The teams do have a fair bit of input into the schedule. Sportsnet does run all day hockey sometimes, but there are teams who aren't hindered as much by afternoon games compared to the Flames and they are the teams likely to get the early slots in an all day game setup. Flames more likely to be playing on a road trip in the east in such a scenario and end up at 5 pm, or the 8 pm slot at home or away to Pacific teams.
