That would actually start at 7am EST. which would be 5 am here, 4am west coast. And that's literally the best case scenario. The gold medal game gets played in the afternoon so that would be actually the dead of night. That's so so damaging to getting ratings and eyeballs.
Maybe you're right, I didn't bother to check daylight svaings differences. But still, you need live, primetime hockey to attract the casual fan and "grow the game". There's no way to explain away the brutal time difference,
