JESUS,family,rutgers Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Does anyone know why The Frozen Four isn't held on Saturday afternoon/evening and then have the championship game on Monday night? The TV ratings must be terrible for a Thursday afternoon game. Is this always the format? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use to be one semi Thursday night, one Friday, a third place game Sat. afternoon, and the champioship Sat. night. They moved the semis to the same day to avoid giving one team the extra day of rest.

dagies Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm just thankful that they don't have the final on Saturday afternoon like they did back in 1997. At least it's a night game now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
