Are all times Alberta mountain time? Or is this eastern? I’m hoping that 9:30 game is eastern. It’s very tough for us in the east, and probably great for you way the hell way out there!!! |

I guess you’ve put in quite a few hard miles watching hockey over the years. We eastern time zone folk will take one for ya! I noticed a 5:30 game. That’s gotta suck for ya, are you 12 or 13 hours different from Central time? Always wondered that!!! |

Always wondered that!!! right now i'm dead opposite central time. when they change the clocks back i'll be dead opposite eastern time. 5:30 a.m. is fine by me, i'm up by 5 or earlier to do chores. 4:30's a tad on the early side though. hopefully we've seen the last of the early afternoon games during these playoffs....not a fan. |

How the hell do you drink and get up at that time? I know at 43 the drink makes it tough to get up early, let alone 5. Good for you for pulling off that feat. I guess you win the award for most hardcore fan in the world. Unless there’s another place that’s got a worse time zone and a hockey fan lives there!!! |

I'll be working it soon enough here, though... I wouldn't count on the no more early games unless you want to watch a playoffs sans the "hawks. you know nbc is gonna want them on the big network if possible. only good thing is playing in Edmonton makes it more likely for prime time viewing. further on they may make them play earlier on the weekend. |

Unless there’s another place that’s got a worse time zone and a hockey fan lives there!!! there's way worse time zones than mine so definitely not the most hardcore. being retired sure helps. the worst i had it was working in india. i'd knock off at midnite, paperwork, shower and eat, usually in the sack by 1:30. if the hawks played the games would usually be on around 2 am, and even though i could only just listen to john and troy (dead slow wifi), i rarely missed a game, and i'd be up to 5 am sometimes...then go to sleep til about 10:30, eat and go to work at noon. ass dragging the whole day. we did 2 weeks of days, then 2 weeks graveyards, i was glad to switch from days to nights because then i had to work during the games and would get a lot more sleep. |

Are the brackets going to be reseeded after this round? Meaning if the hawks win this series, Avs could be next? Or the 16 team brackets are set in stone and the next opponent would be blues/flames?

Unless we see the D/Crawford of Game 4, we're gonna get creamed. Vegas has O...and unlike Edmonton, has both G and D.
Good experience for the kids, sure enough. Let's see how they react.
Oh, and Debrincat needs to step it up bigtime.

not saying i wasn't excited going into the playin, but it just didn't have the whole playoff feel for me.
as i sit here now, on the brink of "round 1", i'm feeling it now...i'm feeling it the way it's supposed to feel.
yeah...we'll likely get creamed, but in the new season we're tied for first with 6 points.
who knows? nobody, that's who.
that's the fun part. : )

i wonder how long it's been since we went into a playoff series as undisputed underdogs?
took a peek...i'd say the 96/97 season, colorado (49-24-9) vs chicago (34-35-13).
we lost in 6 games.

i've been searching high and low all gawd damned day...looking for one online prediction saying we're going to beat vegas.
i haven't found one yet....if i was in N.A., i'd expand my search to the supermarket tabloids predictions. anyone?
best i have found from a blackhawk's perspective is we lose in 5.

To ease your pain a bit just go look up all the experts picks for the play ins and round robin's. The best went 4-4 all others failed miserably. I want to see a Hawks-Habs SCF just to see the nuclear meltdowns that would happen from fans who cry that these 2 teams should never have played. They're gonna be screaming for more asterisks than cowbells.😂 |
