Because the perfidious NHL schedule-makers are stacking the deck against Washington again.

Snively is too good so they are trying to cool him off

Leftover olympic scheduling?

Leftover olympic scheduling?

Other teams are though. Seems odd.

Other teams are though. Seems odd.

Probably depends on number of postponed games

I have work.

edit: Oh, you mean the Caps.

The NHL wants you to rest your liver

Because this was originally the Olympic Break in the schedule, and the games that are filling this time are ones that were re-scheduled after COVID cancellations or travel complications from earlier this season.

Didn't Caps have a few games postponed as well? I think I remember that.

 

[DrewGl]

i have no idea. just was looking at the schedule. maybe we need a break.

 

[Capitals40]

Because they originally had over 2 weeks off for the Olympics and then the NHL and players union withdrew from the Olympics. The Caps played some rescheduled games due to covid which left 1 week off.

The Flyers game they just played was a postponed game.

The schedules are weird this year because of Covid and the Olympics. I believe the Caps have played four games since the All-Star Break but last night was the Rangers’ first game since the break.

The Caps have played 52 games which is the most in the NHL while other teams in the division have played 47 or 48 games. It’ll balance out eventually.

I dunno but we can get a lot of good conversations going about which coach to fire and what superstar we can trade Hags and Sammy for... enjoy!
