[...] Alex Ovechkin’s hit on Brian Campbell, which left the recipient with a broken collarbone and an super-sized off-season, has been adjudicated by NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell and his trusty pile of chicken entrails. Two games off seems to represent an understanding that there was no intent to injure, but that A.O. is not a first-time offender as well. It’s not a large enough sentence to sate the trolling haters to whom we shall not link, and it’s probably too severe for apologists like Mike Milbury and everyone hanging out on the #Caps hashtag. So now we all get to be grumpy! [...]

It seems that for Caps early morning Sunday NBC games are always sleepy time, since the same happened against Pens (remember 1:4 and 5:4). As an excuse for Semin it should be noted that he got 2 penalties and Hawks score one goal, but at the same time, he owned 2 penalties and Caps score two goals (counting Baks. goal also) and Caps won, which matter most. Not so bad ratio at the end of the day.

Let me try to map this out.

At gametime:
In DC (where the Caps came from) – 11:30 became 12:30
In Chicago (where the Hawks were more or less adjusted to the time) – 10:30 became 11:30

In Chicago it would have felt like 10:30. But in DC (where the Caps were coming from), it would have felt like 11:30. So if anything, it would’ve been a disadvantage to Chicago, who were still essentially on Central time, despite having played a quickie in Philly the day before. That is unless the Caps flew in right after the TB game and quickly got adjusted to Central time.

This is the dumbest argument ever when talking about hockey. haha!

No Chris, it would have felt like 10:30am to them – like I said in my article – because of Daylight’s savings the night before.

Oh, my bad. Then it still would’ve felt like 11:30 to them. Still early I know.
