Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Blackhawks and Bruins last night was, in a word, awesome. Three overtimes, skilled play, and drama by the bucketload made for one of the most entertaining hockey games in recent memory.
However, there were some people who weren't exactly thrilled with the game. There were plenty of viewers who were more than upset that the long NHL game was delaying their viewing of Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon. The overreactions and complete ignorance to the situation was a site to behold. As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People…
Kevin Hart's on the Jay Leno show tonight…and I'm missing it because of this stupid hockey game

Is there anything longer than NHL OT? Waiting patiently to see @jeremyscahill on Leno.

.@jeremyscahill is supposed to be on Jay Leno right now but this hockey game is in double overtime *government conspiracy*

The Jimmy Fallon fans were juuuuuuuuuust a bit angrier than Leno fans…
If this stupid hockey game isn't over before Jimmy Fallon comes on. I'm gonna be furious..

— Jennetteeeee ♥ (@AllAboutMcCurdy) June 13, 2013
And then, there were the people that exemplified the phrase "first world problems" when their affiliates went to local news instead of immediately airing Fallon…
UGH THE NEWS THAT IS COVERING THE STORM IS ON INSTEAD OF JIMMY FALLON:(((((
— emily (@acciooponds) June 13, 2013

— jalon (@iLove_McCurdy) June 13, 2013
And finally, some people just don't understand how television rights really work…
