A letter to the west coast

Dear west coast hockey markets,

I hate having to stay up so darn late to watch games when my team is out there. By the time the game in Vancouver is over, it will be around midnight. I worked about 11 hours today (between babysitting and my actual job). I am spent and the puck doesn't drop for another 30 minutes. If you could be so kind as to make like Calgary did on Saturday and have afternoon games, I would be eternally grateful.

All the best,
Kelsey

Getting up and making it to work at 8 tomorrow seems highly unlikely after being up half the night. I am a grandma, and I enjoy, nay, need my 10 hours a night. There is no shame in that, and I know I am not the typical college student, seeing as how I am in bed by 10 almost on a nightly basis. Taking that into consideration, New Years should be interesting. This road trip is going to dramatically affect my sleep schedule. Ciara and I already decided there may be some cranky times in the car. It may be best if I leave my Blues jersey here at home and not push Kelly that far. haha

I'm going to go back to watching the Sharks play at a decent hour. By the way, thanks a lot 20 cent for ruining Nabby's shutout for my fantasy team.
