They want to protect all the Flames fans from watching a Black Friday massacre.

Something to do with Thanksgiving I'd assume.

Flames just like to drink and play golf when they're in California, hangovers will still be present at puck drop.

It's their "Father's Trip" road trip where they all bring their dads as well. Cammallari and Jones didn't practice today, had it off as a 'maintenance day' Suuuree. haha.

I can see the news lines tomorrow. "Matt Stajan placed on injured reserve after rolling golf cart into a pond"

Yup...The U.S. is pretty important and even a game involving a Canadian team where tomorrow is not a holiday gets scheduled for the afternoon.

I like it since I finally don't have to stay up till 1am to watch the flames choke in the last 18 seconds.. Can get my game in and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

I guess I'll be watching the highlights when I get off work. Such a stupid time for a game to be on.

Good for me. I've had to miss the last few games because of this play I've been apart of. I can actually catch the guys in action. Its felt like forever since I have seen them play.

It might be a blessing in disguise for those that can't watch. Afternoon game + Game in Anaheim = probable debacle of monumental proportions

Curse breaker tomorrow. Hoping they get the win and get rid of these curses and set the table for next season.

This years Flames squad, breaking curses one game at a time.

The Habs at Capitals game is also at that time which is 1700h Eastern. The Jets at Flyers game is at 930h Mountain Time. The Canucks sometimes played on the Friday at 900h in an eastern american city.

I figured I'd take a chance at 2.75-1 on the Flames. Figured it would be better than that, but here's hoping...!

I love being able to crack my first beer at 2:00. This is promising.
