Oh, NHL... How I Loathe Thee

I will not repeat my frustrations with the NHL for various showcases of stupidity the past couple of years... y'all already know how I feel about all that. But now I have another thing to be unhappy about. It's 11:22 PM and the second period of a Pens game is not over, because it's in California. And a quick peek at the schedule reveals that there are several more western conference games this season which the puck will drop at 10 or 10:30 pm. Now... I know with the time zones western conference games kind of have to start a little later Pittsburgh time... but... 10 or 10:30? That means games are going past midnight. I'm sorry... I can barely keep myself awake that late for playoff hockey, I'm NOT gonna do it for non-playoff hockey! What's the deal with the uber late game times?

Not that it matters I suppose. I am fairly sure that in some way somebody at the NHL has caught wind of this blog for all my ranting about their insanity and that they don't like me any more than I like them right now. So whatever. I HAD at one time planned to get the special extra money (a LOT of extra money) NHL cable channel to keep on top of things with the Pens (and to get to see more of other teams) once I move in with the boyfriend, but the whole biting thing wiped that right from the plate anyway.

Anway. I've stayed up for what I could stand to stay up for of this game but I am exhausted... it's off to bed for me. And as for you, NHL... well... I don't even know what to say about you anymore.

I know, eh? It's CRAZY how the games have been starting so late. Roger has to work, so he can't even watch most of the games, and that's really been frustrating for him. He's a huge hockey fan, especially when our team is playing, and the late games are just awful for him, because he has to miss them. I have no idea what the NHL is thinking, but I sure hope they wake up and smell the coffee soon...
