Nice time slot.

Was the Sunday 4:18 AM time slot after “Beastmaster” and before a 15-year-old rerun of “Arliss” already taken?

Ya, they were all first round picks, every single player on the roster.  And no team other than the Pens and Caps have ever built through the draft in the history of the NHL.  Why post here if you are just going to complain? 

And that is really crappy timing for the program, but as a fan of the NHL, it’s par for the course.
