Hockey and Time Zones

This probably isn't interesting to anyone else, but the Avalanche play evening games this year that from the perspective of the Eastern time zone, start at 7pm, 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30, 10 and 10:30.

Eastern is what's listed on the ESPN schedule, but I thought it would be interesting to break it down with local time, and Mountain time.

7pm Eastern
Games at New York, Philly, Tampa Bay, etc
Local Time: 7pm
Mountain Time: 5pm

7:30pm Eastern
Games at Detroit, Montreal, Florida, etc
Local Time: 7:30pm
Mountain Time: 5:30pm

8pm Eastern
Games at Chicago, Minnesota, etc
Local Time: 7pm
Mountain Time: 6pm

8pm Eastern
Games at Denver
Local Time: 6pm
Mountain Time: 6pm

8:30pm Eastern
Games at Dallas
Local Time: 7:30pm
Mountain Time: 6:30pm

9pm Eastern
Games at Denver
Local Time: 7pm
Mountain Time: 7pm

9pm Eastern
Games at Phoenix
Local Time: 6pm
Mountain Time: 7pm

9:30pm Eastern
Games at Denver, Edmonton
Local Time: 7:30pm
Mountain Time: 7:30pm

10pm Eastern
Game at Denver (this happens once, scheduled for NBC Sports TV)
Local Time: 8pm
Mountain Time: 8pm

10pm Eastern
Games at Vancouver, San Jose
Local Time: 7pm
Mountain Time: 8pm

10:30pm Eastern
Games at LA, San Jose
Local Time: 7:30pm
Mountain Time: 8:30pm

Notes
Local time is fairly consistent. Usually 7 or 7:30, with some occasional 6pm and 8pm games in Denver in the mix too. Mountain time varies from 5pm to 8:30. I prefer a start time of either 6 or 7pm, Mountain Time.
