Regardless...
Every year we get 82
Gotta win more than the other teams in our division.
Worry about what you can control.
So schedule plays no part in win/loss? Evenly spaced schedule that allows test and practice versus a sporadic schedule with games hand together followed by many days off are equal?
Disingenuous to claim that it's not possible to have a difficult schedule within an 82 game time period, IMO.
Personally, I just want the schedule excuse to go away.
This. Weekend games please.Please, oh please, can we have some damn Saturday night HOME games this season? Particularly in the first half of season.

Here's an idea......let's start with the NHL schedule and build it out to be customer friendly then nice that is done let the AHL fill in around it.
Pre season........
-2 games vs. Edmonton
-2 games vs Minny
- 2 games vs Calgary
- 1 home game vs Ottawa
Same old same old........ same teams in pre season all the time.
My only question: are we going to get hooped again on the schedule side? Last season was ridiculous.
That is definitely question #1 , question #2 for me is when do the Jets play Vegas in Vegas so i can book my Vegas trip .My only question: are we going to get hooped again on the schedule side? Last season was ridiculous.

The NHL could improve their schedule and cut their travel costs by following some of baseball's practices.
Every time a team goes to a city, play 2 games. They could play 2 in 3 nights or they could go a step further. They could play 2 in 2 some substantial part of the time, even all the time. That would lead to more b2b games but neither team has the advantage of playing a tired team.
There would then be more days off between sets. There would be more practice time, less time on planes. It would be easier to schedule the 5 day break. Most games could be played on Sat & Sun.
