When does the bye week officially end? I'm assuming they aren't permitted to practice during that?

Yeah, no official team practices during the 5-day break. The team is off from the 27th to the 31st.

What a dumb time for a break. Let's schedule 8 in 14 nights or something prior to the break then jam more games in after!
No, how about doing away with the stupid break and using the extra days to schedule less back to backs...

i dont even care about the back to backs. The asinine travel schedule is worse. High I am going to play vancouver, then nash then phoenix then florida....

I'd rather they just shrink the season down to 74-76 games and keep the break.

Both the travel and the b2b's have been a factor. I can understand somewhat on the road, but even our home schedule has seemed to benefit our opponent more than it should.
I enjoy every game, so shortening the schedule I wouldn't be a huge fan of. Perhaps starting the season a week or two earlier and doing away with the break would afford more opportunities for travel days.
I think they should go to a 76 game schedule. For a 32 team league, I think that makes the most sense and is the least complicated. Four divisions of eight, two games against non-divisional opponents and four against divisional opponents.

It does make sense, but I can't see the league losing 6 games per team. That's millions in tickets and tv deals.
Probably not. I'm sure they will go with some needlessly complicated scheduling system.

Good. Let's see what he's got now. Not getting my hopes up based on his attitude but I'd love to see a top four caliber Vlasic.

I really hope PDB does not do what he said a few weeks back. i.e throw Vlasic right away against top comp.
Players contracts are based on 82 games also so they too would be taking a hit.......ain't gonna happen

For a similar reason, I dont see the players being willing to not only cut their offseason by 2 weeks, but lose their 1 week break too.
The Sharks' schedule in February is actually pretty good.
Agreed, but the salary cap is driven by revenue so the players would end up taking a hit.

They added a team, they are still ahead in scope.
They could do this and add another a wild card best of 3 playoff round. Pure money for owners
I think maybe comparable to what it would be if it remained an 82 game season but they wouldn't lose money from what they currently make because of it. It would be more than compensated by the addition of Seattle plus the natural revenue growth that has been happening for a while now.

Fewer regular season games the better. The 2013 season had some good hockey as the players were rested.
It will never happen, though.

With his current play and where the team needs him for the playoffs is more like another 2 or 3 levels.
