It all comes down to ratings, I'm guessing. Buffalo = not a huge ratings draw, so NBC doesn't really care if 2,000 people show up to watch a game on the big screen. Pittsburgh = huge ratings, so they want to make sure they get as many people as they can so they can sell more ads.

Or they can just be a bunch of tightwads...

it's NBC we're talking about here. That company is anything but consistent (Conan O' Brian anyone?)

I understand. I just thought they might be saying it in this case as more of an excuse.

Besides, marathons usually start early morning and are done by noon. That's for everyone of course. Those folks that finish 26 miles in just over 2 hours... is amazing.

Why not just role the commercials on the big screen?

2-1/2 hours til they drop the puck in da Burgh!

The Habs have to be exhausted and I hope the Pens take full advantage of it.

I'll be a little late into this thread tonight, as I have a birthday party to attend at 6:00 and I'm going to sneak out around 7:15 or so.

LETS GO PENS!

Late to the thread but I said at the begining of the series I would love to face the hawks just because of Marion Hossa. It really would be salt in the wound if we took his team out again.
