Enjoy some late nights. No respect

Not surprised at the 9:30 start times. I was pretty much expecting it

Well you go win-less in the round robin you don't deserve good starting times. lol

Hah. Tell that to Boston who got the 7 o'clock primetime slot

yeah that's really shitty. i guess we're not the "home" team so there you go.

That's why they should've won yesterday. Never good to be playing the Western most remaining team.

OK, that just seems to be unfair.

Oh well, time for the Blues to fucking suck it up, put on their big boy pants and do their fucking jobs.

Yep. That's the price for failing to win even one game in the round robin.

+1. Canucks earned the respect to get the Pacific prime time viewing for their fans. Blues earned nothing for their performances (or lack thereof). All disgruntled Blues fans can take their complaints down to to 14th & Clark.

Represent, DPW!

I'm not thrilled, but I think I prefer this to the alternative of mid-afternoon starts where I have to DVR the game and watch it after work. I have more discipline to stay up later than I do to insulate myself from the outcome of a game that has already ended until I can sit down and watch it.

That's bullshit....we're the defending champs and deserve the respect of such. You think if Chicago or Pittsburgh were the champ and they went 0'fer in the round robin they wouldn't still get the prime time games?

It's just ratings guys, no need to take personal offense. The only series with a team on the west coast gets the bulk of the late games. It sucks, but its not a sign of disrespect, just geography.

Please stop with your level headed bullshit!!!

I find the 4:30 CST game a bit offensive though.

It's a clear sign of disrespect. I am disrespected. Actually downright offended. Cancel hockey!

For the record, Boston lost all three round robin games and the got a 7 PM start time. Wait just a minute..............sorry, that's an 11 AM start time on Wednesday assuming CBJ and Tampa are done by then.

Just another game a lot of Blues fans won't get to catch the end of. Cut us some slack for at least ONE game, please. You have two mountain time teams in Arizona and Colorado playing each other, for Gods sake make them start at 8:30 local time.

Nope; keep them all late starts. The only win the Blues have is on a late start. The odds are now in their favor.

Its 930 cst. Its 1030 est. I haven't seen an end to s game in days.

LOL, I fell asleep on the couch last night during the second intermission...woke up with around 12 minutes to go in the first OT. Caught my 3rd wind and managed to hang until Schenn scored the OT winner lol at nearly 2:00 am for us.
