Blackhawks 2013 Schedule

[UsernameWasTaken]

We don't get to see the schedule until the memorandum of understanding has been signed...but a photo of what apparently is the "unofficial schedule" is floating around on twitter:

assuming it's accurate 10 of our first 12 games are on the road. It only has us facing Detroit 4 times (but St. Louis 5 times). Does that sound right?

we have home/home series against nashville and the avs.

we finish the season in St. L. ... which potentially could be quite exciting

HAHA, I like the typo on April 14th. Definitely will be an 11:30am NBC game.

 

[CapitalistInfidel]

That's a rough start! Gives the team time to bond on the road during that 6 game road trip

 

[Bubba88]

ugh... that first 12 games look bad for us. Then again, we will have a 7 game home series

Hi Gang... just passing along that the Kings/Hawks game on the 19th will be televised by NBC as well - regionally. No word on whether or not they'll be exclusive in-market (meaning CSN/FSN would not be able to broadcast the game in the Chicago and LA markets respectively)

"It's been long-rumored that NBC will open up with a Flyers vs. Penguins national game at 3 p.m. ET on Jan. 19. It appears, however, that NBC will return to the old practice of regionalizing -- half the country will get one game, the other will get another.

The other game? NBC's listings page confirms that they'll be airing the home opener of the Los Angeles Kings, as they raise their banner against the Chicago Blackhawks. The likely result is that NBC will either split the country into east and west, or possibly add in a third game (New York Rangers vs. Boston perhaps?) and further split things up, ensuring a boffo rating."

If it's on NBC it won't be on the RSNs. They didn't spend $200M a year to not have people watching the game on their network.

it is consistent with the leaked wings schedule

With an 45 minute to an hour drive back from the office, I'm really going to start getting ticked at when I have to work late on game nights now....

The first game must be a mistake in terms of start time since its going to be at 2 and not noon as it states on the piece of paper.

maybe that noon is central time and the 2 is PST...I think the game is in LA, no?

Schedule will be released tonight officially, as per Pierre LeBrun

Got tix vs Wild in March.

Well....another year the Hawks don't visit Minny on a weekend. ****ing ridiculous. Guess I will watch it from my hotel like last year.

This is going to be weird...no games against the Eastern Conference and only 2 games against VAN.

After the first quarter of the season (12 games), the Hawks will have had the same number of games in Phoenix as in Chicago.

Maybe Disney on Ice will also have a lockout.

Pretty sad isn't it? The Hawks are going to have to make hay on the road early. If they do it could end up fantastic for them. If not they can perhaps make some up at home. But I would prefer to see >50% on that long road trip.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

14 points in the first 12 and they are fine, people...

 

[Sarava]

So the schedule is official and the lockout is now over. So umm, when do the trades begin?

 

[CPHawksFan]

What's even more weird is that we might see playoff hockey lasting into the beginning of July!

Thought I saw that game 7 of the Cup Final was slated for June 28th.

Oh, just realized.... 2/1's going to be a bloodbath. Half of the Nucks are going to be targeting Keith's head, and it's only that low because the other half of the team will be targeting his groin.

Seriously scared about that game. Shaw, Bollig, and Carcillo all better be healthy and in the lineup.

torres will be back for that second game against phoenix. i doubt he has anything to worry about...i don't think we have anyone on the team who will really step up.
