Top 150 Moments? Great! How about a Bottom 150?

The Wiggles debacle happened in the 2004 playoffs. The Argos had to play the East semi-final against Hamilton on a Friday night at SkyDome. Over 37k turned out and the TV ratings on CBC were great too so a Friday night playoff game wasn't the worst thing to happen although it wasn't the #1 choice for when to play that game.

Ever since then I have been longing for another Friday night playoff game. Friday Night Football is TSN's signature, and if they had just one game to show, it could start at 8 or even 830 and be hyped as an event, akin to Monday Night Football down south.

I remember this being a pretty memorable event and unique with it being on a Friday night, Depending upon how the Saturday playoff games are received this year, maybe Friday playoff games could be tried next season, alternating between East and West.

It may make more sense to have one game on the Friday night and the other on Saturday afternoon come playoff time. I question going head-to-head with Hockey Night in Canada in primetime on Saturday nights as they will be doing this year.

Back in 2004, when the Argos played that Friday night playoff home game, playoff games were typically played on Sundays with the early game being at 3:30 pm EST and the late game at 7 pm EST. I know that there were concerns about attendance but 2004 set a playoff record for attendance and TV ratings tended to be very good back in those days too - all be it on CBC, with a much larger reach than cable.

I agree with you Ravi about going head to head with HNIC. They should do 12:30 and 3:45 start times for the playoffs on Satureday and be done by the time Hockey is ready to go at 7:15. This is also my argument against those that want to start the season in May. Going head to head with NHL playoffs (whether Canadian teams are still alive or not) would be nuts.
