AZ is on mountain time.

... but because AZ does not observe Daylight Savings time, during the summer AZ is in the same time zone as the west coast, and is 3 hours behind the east coast, not 2 like most of the rest of the Mountain time zone.

While this was not the cause of the mix-up in your game, EST refers specifically to Eastern Standard Time. If your clock is set to Eastern Standard time then it's the same time that it is in Chicago or Dallas right now. If you are on the east coast of the USA you are currently on Eastern Daylight Time, which is an hour later.
I order to avoid this confusion I generally just schedule games by referring to "Eastern time" without reference to daylight savings, although this can (and did, for me, this week) create confusion when scheduling with people who are in places that don't observe daylight savings.
