[Schalkenullvier*]

I hate it, it's called work

yeah i can See why you North americans wont like it, but for the european Fan it's a relief.

10 Games is a lot though, more than 20% of the schedule.

another good thing, all the rags games are done by feb 12!

i love These First 3 days so much... First the Hockey orgy with pens-flyers, bruins rags and ducks-canucks, then sunday the flyers-sabres Matinee and monday the bruins at 7 pm our Time! wohoo!

That's bad. Leafs do not have any games scheduled for Sunday or Friday. Fourteen Saturday games.

every weekend game in march is afternoon...

Um, what happened to playing Montreal 5 times? I count 4 games against the Habs. Unless I'm losing it...

EDIT: So we play Ottawa 5 times and not Montreal? Are you ******** me? Why this schedule wasn't 7 against Divisional teams and 2 against Conference teams is mind-boggling. They made it so unnecessarily complicated it pisses me off, but in the end I'm just glad hockey is back. Drop the puck.

Yup I recaped it a few posts back.

 

[NORY]

I assume the afternoon games are because the Garden is booked up?

 

[bigbadbruins7]

I agree it is weird we only play Montreal 4 times. Maybe they wanted to kep that series as an even home split. really excited that it is back and camp opens tomrorow. I wonder how expensive the first game against the Rangers will be? would love to go

 

[PrisonMike]

anyone know what time they are on the ice for tomorrow ?

Every afternoon game the Bruins play at home is a Saturday or a holiday (MLK). After the new year, the Bruins play their Saturday home games at 1pm, and have for decades. They also always play a matinee at home on MLK. Matinee hockey has been a tradition for ages here, and I'm kind of surprised people are surprised about it. Whether this season started on time or not those Saturday home games were going to be at 1pm. Can't speak for the road games, but TV always plays a factor and with a condensed schedule I'm sure the league wants to get as many games on National TV as possible. Plus those afternoon dates are weekends as well.

Gonna be weird playing on Easter, and Patriots Day but not being a playoff game

Love the Pats day game. I take my son to the early sox game every year. If there's a B's or C's playoff game we do a double header and walk the last mile of the marathon on the way up to the Garden. Unfortunately there was no nightcap last year. Love it when we can finish off with the B's! And we aren't even gonna have to wait till a week before the game to find out! We usually wear the B's jerseys to the Fens!

Heres the training camp schedule

[Trap Jesus]

Doesn't seem like a bad schedule. I was expecting way more back-to-backs. I only counted 7, which doesn't seem too bad.

Way too many matinees but what are you gonna do.

That 4 game home-stand at the end of the season could be key.

When is the cybear club ticket pre-sale?

Black and Gold Intersquad Scrimmage presented by AT&T

I see that Ticketmaster has Boston Bruins vs Providence Bruins on Tues Jan 15 at TD. Guess that will be the entire pre-season.

I got $4 on the Boston Bruins!

Post above mine says it's an intra-squad game. I would put more stock on Bruins site than ticketmaster.
