Might as well throw this in here too

 

[McMetal]

According to my season ticket rep, schedules could be out as early as next week. Not sure why so early and she didn't guarantee it, but said it was likely.

 

[LTC Pain]

Rookie Camp or Training Camp dates???

Rookie Camp or Training Camp dates???

Rookie camp dates are usually announced just after the draft. Probably first week of July or thereabouts?

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Schedule is posted in the Season ticket accounts. Fri 10.6 Flyers opener.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Schedule is posted in the Season ticket accounts. Fri 10.6 Flyers opener.

Can you post or send me a whole schedule? I would like to plan our annual Invasion trip

 

[RockLobster]

Schedule is posted in the Season ticket accounts. Fri 10.6 Flyers opener.

Would you be able to provide us (or me) some of the weekend game dates? Like if Fri 10/6 is the home opener, what do they play that weekend? (I'm trying to plan a mini-vacation to Denver to see some games)

 

[Avs91]

So there is only one road game available to see for now?

 

[Moby Stick]

Just looking over the home schedule for this year there are 21-games on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday versus 14 last year. Not optimal for season ticket holders, as Monday-Wednesday are harder to resell if you need to. I assume that means more late starts due to the 10 Wednesday home games, but also more nationally televised games.

	2018-19		2017-18
Sunday	1		5
Monday	6		3
Tuesday	5		4
Wednesday	10		7
Thursday	2		7
Friday	7		7
Saturday	10		8
	41		41

True, but some of the best teams (resale wise) are on these weekdays. NYE is a Monday too which should count as a weekend. Assuming the Saturday games are at night, thats a huge plus too.

As a reseller for a good chunk of the season, I was pleased at first glance.

 

[Avalanche]

Might try and head down for a week and hit up 3 games

12.15 Stars
12.17 Islanders
12.19 Canadiens

12.17 Islanders

Beat the Wild in the home opener and we make the playoffs, lose to them and we pick top-five the following draft

 

[ASmileyFace]

The Green Filth for our home opener? Nothing can go wrong there

 

[CharlesPuck]

So sick of opening against the Wild...

 

[member 116861]

Is there where I get to post like Wild fans? "Why do we keep opening against them? It's not even a rivalry, we don't even care about them, they hate us so much but we don't even care about them."

October 4th can't get here fast enough.

 

[Vaslof]

13 early games, sweet. A little treat for us EU fans.

 

[S E P H]

If you're going to give us that many two-day breaks off between games, why not just reduce the schedule to 72 games then? I am seeing a lot of back-to-backs because of it...

Link's broken in the OP.

 

[Papa Francouz]

10 B2Bs. I hope the boys are really hitting the treadmill and riding those bikes this summer.

My thoughts (judging solely on last season)...

OCT: Fairly easy, should have a winning record onto the next month.
NOV: Half winnable and the other half loseable.
DEC: Team bonding road trip with again half and half, but I think it looks tougher than November.
JAN: Western and Eastern Canada road trip, not a very easy month.
FEB: Crunch time with a lot of games, but doesn't look too hard.
MAR: One week of just pure divisional opponents, but a lot of home games.
APR: Not really happy that two of our last four games are back to back. We saw last year with Blues that when you're that deep into the season, injures will happen, bruises are common, and desire is at an all time low.

Well then I guess we'll just have to have our playoff position completely secure before that.
