It's a good thing these guys love to play hockey
Have you seen the schedule for men's hockey at the Olympics? It's more like the schedule for a concert tour--or a baseball team. Here's Canada's schedule: all the men's teams all play on the same days.
Also of concern--especially in Western Canada--for those of us who blanch at the idea of cheering Canada to the Gold drinking coffee: what to do? Hit the bottle before the sun is up, or start at 11:00 on Saturday night and just stay up really late? These are the things that keep me awake at night.
- Wed. Feb. 15 - 1PM local (5AM MT) - v. Italy
- Thu. Feb. 16 - 8PM locat (noon MT) - v. Germany
- Sat. Feb. 18 - 330PM local (730AM MT) - v. Switzerland
- Sun. Feb. 19 - 9PM local (1PM MT) - v. Finland
- Tue. Feb. 21 - 430PM local (830AM MT) - v. Czech Republic
- Wed. Feb. 22 - Quarterfinals (start at 430PM local)
- Fri. Feb. 24 - Semifinals (start at 430PM local)
- Sat. Feb. 25 - 830PM local (1230PM MT) - Bronze Medal Game
- Sun. Feb. 26 - 200PM local (6AM MT) - Gold Medal Game

God I love being self-employed. I think I will just carry on drinking through the night and watch the games BEFORE falling asleep. The greater question is: what will this do for business at western Boston Pizza locations? I should run my house as a hockey speak-easy for two weeks. All the smoking, drinking and hockey you can handle. No face paint required.
That is a brutal schedule.
Where was that list of which teams have XX number of Olympians? They are going to be dead tired for the stretch run.
