Can’t say I’m a fan of the 2pm start whatsoever. I’ll have more on this series match up after I’ve turned in a couple big papers this week. Go Wings!

What don’t you like about 2pm? At least it’s 90 minutes before Master’s coverage starts. I was dreading having to switch back and forth between them.

Do the interns work the playoff games too?
Cup Finals, game 7, Christy says: “I have to go to work AGAIN?!” We’d feel real sorry for you.

A matinee start like that is just a screwy time for the players. And 2:00? That “Ironman Triathlon” at 5:00 better be one helluva broadcast! Though knowing how much NBC abhors the NHL, if the game runs long, watch them move the broadcast to Versus.
My favorite is Game 4: “Joined In Progress?” Exactly what decade are we in now?
Christy: Will FSN Detroit will pick up the non-NBC games in this round? IIRC, their exclusivity doesn’t start until the conference finals.

I have tickets to Saturday’s game…and I also have to work, in Kalamazoo, a baseball game that starts at 1. Needless to say I’m a million times less than thrilled about the 2 pm game too. Crap.

Steve- Yep, I work all the playoff games and I obviously don’t mind at all working every game! It’s a lot more stressful trying to get everything done in time for the game. We have to get X done 2.5 hours before the game so if it’s at 7:30pm, we just have to have it done by 5pm (and I get in at 9am). If it’s a 2pm game, we have to get that same stuff done by 11:30am and get there between 7-8am. So our stress level just goes up because there isn’t as much time to get tasks accomplished…
Joe- FSN Detroit will pick up the non-NBC games in the first round.
Steph- Yeah, that really sucks. Is there any way you can get out of work?
