Any idea when the NHL decided that 4 games in 5 nights was OK? I don't recall ever seeing it before. The league has done all manners of loony things with the schedule, but has never (again, to my recollection, and I do pay attention to these things) okayed
- 3 games in 3 nights
- 4 games in 5 nights
The Flames do it
twice this season: December 27/28/30/31, and January 5/6/8/9. (That also makes 9 games in 14 nights, which I would also submit is unusual.)
And the second one is four games in five nights in four cities.
ReplyDeleteIf they're going to pull this shit, maybe we should have double-headers?
ReplyDeleteBlame the Olympics...Iginla, as many as 3 Flames D, and possibly Kipper & Jokinen, will get no rest.
ReplyDeleteCertainly never seen that before.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the 4 cities in 5 nights part is just plain nasty.
Yikes
ReplyDeleteI think it'd be neat, especially in the travel heavy Western conference, if they had some divisional back to backs where the home team stays at home for both games. 3 games series a la baseball is probably pushing it, but I don't see the problem of showing up to see the Flames or Wild two nights in a row.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the problem of showing up to see the ... Wild two nights in a row.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do.
And No BofA's to end the season. Or even after January. Did I read that correctly?
