darksabre Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Wow, very Western Conference heavy in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPommerFan Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Only 11 back to back sets! 22 in 2010-2011, 21 in 2011-2012, and 11 this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 My very unscientific count picked up 8 sets of back to back nights. I hope people are a bit more happy with that. There is one case where they have back to back games on the west coast, then get 4 days off to prepare for a back to back home and home set with the Flyers. That one will be tough. It's early in the season though, so they should still have plenty of legs at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 So, if realignment gets done in the new CBA....do they still use this schedule or does it change? I'd imagine they have to use this one just due to time constraints, unless they already constructed an alternate in the event realignment gets approved.

nobody Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 7 of 1st 10 at home and 5 of last 8 at home. So the teams needs to get off to a quick start and will have a decent amount in the end if needed or to get some home cooking in before the playoffs.

TheMatrix31 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Brutal opening 3 games, but at least it looks like the back-to-backs are significantly less this year. November 16/17 home-and-home with Philly should be fun. We play Philly 4 times in the first two months. That seems odd. Home-and-home against Boston in February. Wish they were coming to LA this year. Probably gonna have to drive down to Anaheim if I wanna see the boys. February 18 - March 10 looks like a pretty brutal stretch. All on the road, except for Nashville and NYI, and all except NYI and CAR were playoff teams this past season. Oof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just checked it out and noted the drastically lower amount of back to backs myself. Very welcomed change. Is it just me or are there a lot more Sat/Sun games this season than previous years? If i remember correctly the majority of our back to backs this past season were Fri/Sat?

I don't think there is any way realignment happens until 2013-2014, plus, they'll probably hold off until they find out what Phoenix is doing.

CallawaySabres Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Only 7 Friday games all year, don't like that at all. I would much rather go on a Friday night than Saturday night (especially during Bills season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather go on a Friday night than Saturday night (especially during Bills season) I think that was the trade-off for fewer back to backs. I prefer Friday games, but I'd give them up in a heartbeat if it gave even the slightest competitive advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Game on: Monday: 6 Tuesday: 18 Wednesday: 5 Thursday 17 Fridays 7 Sat: 20 Sundays: 9 A lot less Friday games, hence the back to back being lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
