ECHL Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 This was a graph of the Sabres schedule for back to back games. Worse in the NHL. If this was talked about before it is okay to erase it. http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2010/8/9/1613353/nhl-schedule-feeds-some-teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's a marketing move at the league level. NHL gets better attendance and better TV ratings on weekends. 37 of our games last year were on Friday or Saturday nights. 36 this coming year. 13 of our 15 back to back games this year are Friday and Saturday night pairs (3 of those Fri/Sat pairs are home both games). Strictly according to the analysis in the article (which ignores lots of other important factors), the Sabres are statistically disadvantaged by about 1/3 of a point by the end of the season. We're going to win the division again, so ###### that article. Edit: And I'd rather get the better gate and TV revenue to improve club (and league-wide) finances than worry about some small-order schedule inequalities.

Robviously Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Not to fear. Lindy knows how to get his guys to play back to back games. That's probably his best skill, although handling goalies is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 What is it,22 back to backs? Has anyone checked to see how many of the 2nd games are against rested teams or division rivals that are also rested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 What is it,22 back to backs? Has anyone checked to see how many of the 2nd games are against rested teams or division rivals that are also rested? The Sabres request Saturday home games from the league. They come at the expense of back to backs. OSP deals with it by counting their money from all the sell outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the guy has let me know I'm creepy, drink hot chocalate (not beer maybe?), and make grammar mistakes.

You are correct, I need to be more tolerant of others. It affects me personally and professionally. I apologize for the critique and I'll be more context aware than syntax critical.

It seems arbitrary and excuse laden. Someone intellectually superior to me needs to research this phenomenon to validate it. I think it's more myth than reality. I could be wrong.

I think it's valid, but it also seems to me that a team built for the playoffs is more apt to win on that second night and that's what we are really complaining about. That's not what she said.

The better teams are the ones that win both of the back to back games most of the time. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
