As Thursday night's Blackhawks-Blues game, which started at 8:40 p.m. Central, was approaching midnight on the East Coast, Foley said: "This is the third time in five games that a start time of 8:42 (p.m.) local was mandated. I can say with certainty, players cannot stand these late starts, coaches cannot stand them and, most importantly, the fans can't stand them. So if we approach midnight Eastern, again, on a work night, on a school night, a simple question: An 8:42 puck drop serves who?"
