I go downtown for work sometimes.  Did the Monsters really have a game last week at like 10 in the morning?  No wonder nobody goes to see them.  Dumb!

What I like to do is respond to posts a month and a half later after the gravity of the message has settled in.

No, seriously, for some reason it never flagged this post as New to me, so I never saw it.  Until now.

The Monsters (And all of the AHL) are given their schedules based on how the NBA schedule is.  So they have to fit in days/times that don't interfere with the NBA schedule.  And then there is a lot of changes based on travel arrangements because they try and keep the costs down in the league and not spend all the money flying the teams to Manitoba and back, etc.

So, given that there are 40 home games in a regular season, sometimes you get an odd day/time.  Most people don't go to those games.  Basically your Friday/Saturday game are your big night out games.  The rest of the week are for your die-hard hockey fans.  I went to all 40 games in their second season, but it was too much.  I just go every-now-and-again now.  Maybe if I lived closer to downtown I could see doing it, but in the winter with the snow and shit, it ain't easy to get downtown and in your seat at 7pm after you got out of work at 5:30.

Must have been a slow day for you Kevin. You have all kinds of posts today...lol!

I get that and I know that the Q is going to tell the Monsters to get lost when it comes to scheduling against the Cavs, but I think that game really was at like 10am on a weekday. They seriously couldn't come up with a better date or time for a game than that?! Like I said before man, dumb!

I kinda remembered marveling at that myself at the time so I went back and looked.  We played Hershey at 10:45 on a Wednesday morning.  Yeah, the place must have been packed.

Oh yea, it's dumb.  But I'm just saying there was probably a good reason for it.  It's very rare to have one like that. 

And yea, I figured I'd come in here and see what was happening.
