Flyers are here Feb 12 and Apr 6th according to one Flyers writer and Jets are in Philly Feb 23rd . Any truth from what you guys have heard ?
Also, quote from Harts,,
Sam Carchidi@BroadStBull
Hartnell says Winnipeg's schedule will be a "disaster" because of all its traveling compared to East Coast teams. #jets #Flyers
I figured every team would have somewhat of a disaster schedule, but yes Winnipeg even more so. Looking at this schedule though I don't think its completely awful...
-2 games in 2 nights vs Boston and Washington
-4 games in 6 nights vs Montreal, Florida, Tampa and Buffalo - kind of a weird route.
-a quick there and back to Ottawa, but 2 off days after.
-5 games in 8 nights in NE US
-4 games in 6 nights in FLA, TB and NJ - not bad
-2 more 2 game trips
-one home game on march 30 after coming back from PIT then right back on road to NYR, NYI and MTL.
Really only 3 long road trips and 2 bad quick turnarounds when they go home-road-home or road-home-road. Going into this everyone was expecting to have to play every other night and that's what we have here. Only 6 (probably 7 once we can see the rest of the NY trip) back to back games. 5 (or 6) will be on the road and Washington at home. It makes sense with the multiple back to backs on the road due to the travel distance in my mind.
