Never realized it till last year though. Selling a Tuesday night game against the Islanders was a bitch!

Selling a Sat night game against the Islanders, and a Tuesday night game against Montreal would have been a lot more profitable!! Never happened.
Hah yeah, it's always been like that. Can you imagine Hockey Night in Canada with the Leafs taking on the Panthers!?!? What a waste viewer-ship that would be lol

Another reason for the disparity in fortunes between the big market and small market teams.
