MattPie Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) You ain't kidding. Take a page from the NFL or NBA. I'm surprised we don't have NFL games every night during the season. (I know logistically it won't work) but they are like, "you guys want Thursday games, how bout two?) they don't ###### around. Meanwhile the NHL is like, what's wrong with 7 games all playing at once then 5 days without games. Bette Midler concert in Tampa's arena tonight. What was the NHL to do? To expand a little: generally, NFL arenas are only really used for football and concerts. The NHL plays in more mixed-use environment. Also, it's easy to say: don't book on these weekend dates in January. The NHL needs: don't book too much in the latter half of April, all of May, and most of June. The NHL might need to squeeze 3-4 games every two weeks that you won't know the schedule until a day or two before it starts. I'm now wondering if the arena is required to leave days open no matter what. Does the F'N Center have a bunch of dates empty in June in case the Sabres went to the SCF this year? (OK, maybe Buffalo is a bad example since I'd guess the center isn't that busy, but somewhere like MSG...)

At least FNC just has Sabres, Bandits, Concerts. I am disappointed there was not a game yesterday but I will live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Actually there was a great playoff game played last night the Erie Otters vs. Oshawa Generals. I was rather disappointed that it wasn't on the NHL channel. They have been putting on OHL games when there are no other NHL games being played.

TrueBlueGED Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just gonna drop this here: :) Travis Yost @travisyost · 48m 48 minutes ago Corsi is Dead. (Except every remaining playoff team out-shot their opposition over full season, half season, *and* last 25-games.) On a more serious note, looks like no hockey until the weekend, and they're both going to be afternoon games. I hate the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Don't the Capitals play the Ranger tonight at 7:30? Unless there is sarcasm and Ranger hockey is hardly hockey.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 goal game would be nice. Washington 3 Rangers 2. Edited May 13, 2015 by Woods-Racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm actually shocked. A penalty against the Rangers in a game seven. :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last Game 7 was a good game as far as I remember it, and the Sabs would have won, had they even three NHL defensemen. That's a little harsh. I'm mildly entertained. Exactly. There should be nothing mild about a game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
