2013 Schedule Discussion

[Becel]

Only 4 sets of back to back games and at least one day off at each the start and end of every road trip. That should minimize the impact of flights.

Not much practice time though.

I count 7 back to backs. 6 on the road and 1 at home.

I have failed.

Hmm i'm really thinking about going to the Panthers & Lightning games later this month if that schedule is right.

That would be a great roadie.

Cool that we're one of the three games on TV to start the season.

We get a whole 3 games on TSN this year, the Leafs get 10, Habs 8, and everyone else but us 6.

14 days ago this felt like it might not happen

No Saturday night games at home. Us and Ottawa seem to be CBC's main ponies for their additional Saturday afternoon games.

And as predicted, game 2 is a Monday matinee at Boston on Martin Luther King Day.

I still can't believe it. There are days I am doing something and then it hits me that the game is back. What a great feeling it is. And you know what? After we were said by ownership to be a mid-cap team to Chipman now saying with the new system we could be closer to a cap team, as many hoped and predicted, this lockout/new system was clearly good for the Winnipeg Jets now and longterm.

 

[Soble]

I can see one change from the "leaked" schedule - the Feb 3 game at Buff got moved to Mon Apr 22 creating another back to back (@Wash on Apr 23). Feb 3 is Super Bowl Sunday so perhaps that was part of the protest from one of the teams.

I hate those 2pm start times. I hope in the future that we go back to some Saturday nights starts.

I am also not a fan of 6pm and 7pm home games. I much prefer the 7:30 starts. It leaves more time to get downtown and grab some dinner and drinks before the game.

I am glad to be a STH but the start times are horrible.

Ya, we are getting the Saturday Night Shaft! Come on 2:00pm brutal.

At least we have the opportunity to be shafted these days. Life is still good.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

That sucks, hate the homestand right at the end of the year. That's during exams for me! Urgh, I'll manage I guess...now to start putting together my list for the ticket draft lol...

I hear you Blues and your opinion, but I have an opposite one. I love a 7pm start. The couple of times I might be able to take my little guy and not have us get home at 11pm or later.

Also, for many that are close to or working downtown, 7pm is a really nice time to make the choice to stay down after work. That said, I truly see it both ways...

Damn Bills fans...

Actually I'm fine with this. I thought it made no sense in the leaked schedule that the Jets went from Montreal down to FLA and TB and then come all the way back up to Buffalo.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Wow, I seem to be the only one who likes those Saturday afternoon start times. But yeah, not a huge fan of moving the start times to 7:00 from 7:30.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I am annoyed that the CBC is giving pretty much all the prime time starts to Montreal and Toronto. It's to be expected, of course. I mean, those are the two biggest draws for Hockey Night in Canada, and gives them ample space to make a double header out of it with Vancouver, Calgary, or Edmonton.

The other problem with the 2 p.m. start times is I work nights, so the games fall right in the middle of my sleep cycle.

I'm actually really pleased with their being less Jets coverage on CBC this year.

1 - We don't have to watch as many games with CBC's dreadful coverage. More TSN Jets coverage with player interviews and press conferences pls.

2 - By not following the standard Canadian team "must play on Saturday" mantra they have ended up with a much better schedule. Less back to back games.

Pretty sure this is a one year only thing to help the eastern teams.
Once they move to the central I think it will be moved back to 7:30


The afternoon start on MLK day kinda sucks.

 

[King Woodballs]

Earlier the better
7pm starts are good. 6:30 is even better
2pm saturday starts are good too

 

[SCP Guy]

Love any weekend time.....don't care if it's 2 pm or 11 pm ....

 

[wpgallday1960]

Love that late April home stretch. Should be a key to locking up the SE. LOL!
