I'm not to impressed with the 8:45pm puck drop for a game in the mountain time zone. Why can't these pregame ceremonies be before the scheduled game time? The Oilers had a full extra hour to have all the home opener pageantry. With all the extra channels and PVR's why do we need to have a later start time after the Leafs game? Have the puck drop at 7:00 pm local time, the diehards that need to watch both games in there entirety will PVR the western game and catch up after the eaterm game is over. The rest of us who don't care about the eastern matchup can watch our teams play at a decent hour. How many kids in Alberta got to watch the battle of Alberta? Very few I'm guessing. It was all I could do to keep my eyes open until 11:15pm.
