that's cool ..I just scored 2 tickets for the Buffalo Sabres -San Jose Sharks next Saturday...the NHL schedule is way off base... this is the first time the Sabres will be here in 3 years !!!...I'm way up in the rafters but just being at a hockey game is a joy...I actually like being up a few levels to see how the plays move down ice......

awesome: They agreed to balance the schedule a little more at the recent GM meetings,I'm tired of playing the SENS 8 times a year and not seeing the western conference

Jim Dandy:

that's good to hear...there's no reason in an 80 game schedule they shouldn't play every team at least once home/ away...I can understand forming regional rivalries, but they went overboard...it can't be a travel issue...basketball pulls it off ...

awesome: The Leafs should be playing The Wings and Hawks at least once a year,the schedule (as is) ruined our rivalry with the Wings.There is talk of going to an 84 game schedule to help balance things out.On one hand,I already think they should cut 10 games from the current 82 game schedule,but on the other hand,I'm aware that isn't going to happen,and if 84 gets the Wings,Hawks,and a few western teams in town,I'm all for it.
