Speculation was rampant as to when the Blues would start the second round against the Dallas Stars. Thursday was where the smart money was, and Thursday it shall be. It’s good scheduling, because there’s no Cardinals game downtown for conflict or traffic.
However, because it’s the NHL, there’s also a scheduling problem. While the day is perfect, the time is... less than so.
The game is scheduled to start at 8:30 Central. Puck drop should be closer to 8:45. Barring overtime (God forbid), fans should be leaving the Enterprise Center between 11 and 11:30.
