Coconuts

Maybe for them, most people I know out this way are still working at that point and they hate early games as much as I do. 

Toronto and Montreal are among the teams that bring in the most revenue.  From Forbes earlier this week:

The league’s five most valuable teams—New York Rangers ($1.65 billion), Toronto Maple Leafs ($1.5 billion), Montreal Canadiens ($1.34 billion), Chicago Blackhawks ($1.085 billion) and Boston Bruins ($1 billon)—accounted for almost a quarter of the league’s revenue. Without them, the league would have lost $50 million.

Those league elite enjoy fat local cable television deals that make up for the NHL’s paltry national TV deals (the U.S. and Canadian packages payed each team $20 million combined last season, compared with $260 million per team in the NFL).

The Canadiens collect more than $50 million, followed by the Maple Leafs at over $40 million. The Rangers’ cable deal delivered slightly less than $35 million. And while the Blackhawks and Bruins are not among the top quartile in cable television revenue, they are the lone hockey teams in their huge markets with rabid fan bases.

I mean it wont be a bad thing to come home from work to the Canucks beating the Leafs
