There are some problems here by saying "9:30 Eastern Time, 6:30 local time" for the next Canucks game on Tuesday which Jim Hughson said several times on Sunday after the Canucks beat the Hawks.
1. There is no NHL team from an Eastern time zone in the Western Conference final. None. So why does this time zone get top billing?
2. Why is Pacific time denigrated to local time? Pacific time should be mentioned first because a team from the west coast is hosting the game. In Vancouver.
Canada has five time zones and even when major events are occurring outside the Eastern time zone, it does not seem to penetrate the consciousness of the media that seems unable to believe Canada has more than one time zone. The Vancouver Winter Olympics have been completely forgotten.
