frisky Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 11 of 14 games from 1/1 - 2/2 on the road with a block of 4 solid then a home game and then 6 on the road again. That last 6 has them going all the way south then all the way west. That's a tough stretch for us. Similar to the mid-season schedule last year. Another in Anaheim again. Yay for me. I'll get to see them ice girls and get more popcorn and peanuts thrown at us. Hope they have a better showing this time around instead of getting their handed to them. The first 41 games are slightly more home heavy with 23 home games. 18 homers on the back stretch with mostly 2 game home stands. The longest is 3 homers in a row in mid-Feb. on that back half. It probably would help them considerably to get in the playoffs if they started out fairly strong before that brutal mid-season road trip. I'm going to predict again ending up between 7th and 10th.

nucci Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Schedule seems more compact this year. Not too much time off between games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Is the Marena booked for the circus for two weeks or did the nhl choose to schedule that trip? In the old days before the balanced schedule, there was always one lengthy west coast trip on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 It was a long shot, but I was really hoping that the Sabres would be in Florida while I am down there to see the Bills in Miami. Last year, I missed them by a couple of weeks. This year...not even close. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 How about the 12 roadies in 17 games from Jan 1 to Feb 7 Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Our first meeting vs. Ottawa has Versus written all over it. Besides the horrid road schedule after the new year, it's nothing too bad. I think March and April are very favorable for the Sabres though.

BuffalOhio Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 When I was adding the schedule to my Outlook calendar (so I don't schedule reffing games to conflict too much), I noticed a ton of back to backs. I haven't counted them, but it really seems like a lot of Friday/Saturday back to back games and 3 in 4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't counted them, but it really seems like a lot of Friday/Saturday back to back games and 3 in 4's. Back to backs dont bother me too much, I think it helps keep the focus. I thought last year had too many gaps of 3/4 days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awill29 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 So they'll be doing another home back-to-back Nov. 21-22. I remember they had one in 06-07, but before that they didn't have one for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 From the Buffalo News story today ... Back-to-backs: The Sabres led the NHL last year with 20 sets of games on consecutive days, partly because they?re adamant about getting as many Friday home games as possible. They got 17 sets this season, including a rare double dip at home Nov. 21-22 against the Flyers and Islanders, respectively. So fewer back to backs than last season ... can't hurt.

Team Strike Force Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm disappointed that Chicago isn't coming to Buffalo. It may be juvenile, but I'm looking forward to crybaby Campbell coming back and getting booed each time he touches the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 From what I could see, we are not hosting a single afternoon game next season. <_< I guess the only exception may be that final game of the year with the TBD, but that's anybody's guess right now.

X. Benedict Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 The only home and home series appears to be NJ Dec 13 and 17. (not sure if NJ has a game in between.) I always liked home and homes. Only 1 is kind of a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Per USA Today, EVERY team is playing on Oct 25th.. Awesome. I need to find a bar with Center Ice and at least fifteen TVs. I want Total Hockey Overload. I want to eat pucks in between drinks. This could be the most complete display of utter hockeyness, ever. Wow, I'm loving summer, but I need the season to start soon!

FogBat Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 (I keep thinking that I'm going to quit this board one of these days, and then it hits me that there may be one more important thing to say...) :chris: Is anyone looking forward to the game on March 12th? It will be the first time that the Sabres will host Florida this upcoming season. I'm thinking that it would be a wonderful opportunity to welcome Richard Zednik back after what happened to him this past season on our home ice. After all, I think we'd rather see him than Brian Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
