You spend just over an hour at your pregame spot before settling up and heading out around 6:15 - 6:30. Add in another 20 min to hop on the O-Train, head to Pimisi, and make the short walk to the arena gives you just enough time to get through security and grab another pint before a 7pm puck drop.

Calling it a 3 hour bender is a bit of a stretch. Seems like a complete non-issue, and keep in mind, many people downtown actually do work until 5-6pm (hence why rush hour goes til 6:30pm).

Combine that with the fact that most games (even on weekdays) in cities with downtown areas (like Toronto and Montreal) start at 7:00, not 7:30 and it becomes even more feasible for silly servants to go to games after work. I suspect that 7:30 starts are to make it easier for silly servants to travel out to Kanata.
