yeah, they are this year...

We had one many seasons ago against Vancouver....wanna say 02-03 or 03-04.....they should give a "Columbus day" home game to the team from Columbus though!

It was not in the afternoon, that seems to be the complaint

Two games in Boston this year gives me two shots to get down to a game Also looking at the Habs game...its a bit further of a drive but maybe make a few days out of it.

I have traditionally been in C-Bus between Dec 20-24 every year and always been able to get one game. Doesn't look like that will happen this year

We are just going to have to nail down the President's Trophy before April

The Lake Erie home opener is October 16, bummed that the Jackets also have a home game that night.

Any idea when the complete Lake Erie schedule will be announced?

Nice way to start a season.

I'd kind of laugh a bit of Nash gets traded. That would tarnish things a bit.

NHL seems to really like the CBJ/NYR rivalry that is forming.

To be fair, we do have Carolina, Toronto, and Buffalo in April.

August, late July at the earliest.

They have to wait on the NBA schedule. The Monsters and Rampage are owned by their arenas' NBA teams and could probably work from a draft schedule, but the Admirals wait for the Bucks' final schedule to come out so they can get every weekend date they possibly can.

Wondered about this.. enjoyed going last year and then heading out to a few parties after the win.

Weird schedule to say the least....
Still pumped for the home & home to start the season with NYR, and to finally get to see the Jackets play on Columbus Day afternoon for a change.

Amount of back-to-backs is ridiculous. Wtf is up with that? I was thinking the Jackets were a lock for a playoff spot, and capable of a top seed, but according to the schedule this will be another grind. That's becoming the CBJ way. Can never do anything easy

 

[JacketsDavid]

Maybe I'm wrong on this but back in the day the NHL gave teams options - play a lot of premium games on weekends and get more back to backs or less weekend games with fewer back to backs.

I did not count them but looks like a lot of home Friday and Saturday games. So I'm assuming the CBJ opted for that. It makes sense attendance wise, walk-ups for weekday games was usually much less (it appeared) than weekend games.

But that is my guess is the CBJ opted this year to take more Friday-Saturday home games, which leads to more back-to-back games.

EDIT: 19/41 home games are Friday or Saturday games.
