Great falls on the scheduling NHL, not to mention flames first game after near 2 weeks off
Just someone throwing shit at the wall.What? We play 2 games this week, have the same mandated week off every team gets for the all star break and then play 3 games the week after. They also play Arizona on the 4th so that’s 6 games in that 3 week span starting tomorrow, so where are you getting these numbers from?
We played calgary sat, we have 2 games this week then 2 weeks off pretty much played Calgary on the 11, play them again on 29th with only 2 games before. So do the math your self.

Why not? It lets the boys get away somewhere warm for a 8-10 day holiday with their wife/gf and then a day or two to get back in to the swing of things. What’s wrong with that?We played calgary sat, we have 2 games this week then 2 weeks off pretty much played Calgary on the 11, play them again on 29th with only 2 games before.

My point is no team should have the mandated week off tied into an extended break like Christmas or new year's and of course all star weekend

Well to be fair most programs take a break during over the holiday seasons, at least regular TV shows.For one thing its the middle of Siberia time in Edmonton during all that break. If theres one time you really want to see some hockey its when theres little else you want to be doing going out in -40
If one has the notion (and a lot of Canadian kids and adults do) that playing and watching hockey is one of the best ways to get through interminable winter then the NHL schedule and ASG week long break (which is a relatively new thing) is ****ing annoying.
But for Oilers fans that don't see many playoffs, and are almost always in hockey withdrawal the long breaks always suck.
I like it fine when theres a game every other day mode going on.
How would people like it if Netflix took a two week break off during the Emmy's or some such ****?
We’ll be fine. Have a glass of rum. Relax.
Mmmmm love me some dark rum!!!The Oilers are my usual reason to drink..
Ahhh, nice, dark, rum.

Every team has their mandated 5 day break either just before or just after the ASG, so it's fair to everyone. Flames have the same days off as us, except they play St Louis on Jan 28, the day before they play us, so we may have some rust, but they are playing back to backs, so should be in our favor.

Appletons.
The all-star weekend sucks as does the mandated week off.
Might as well put them together and just have one longer stretch of suck.

Or is normal TV not a thing anymore?
Maybe it's just me, I hate binge-watching so I stick to regular TV as much as possible.
Nor do players that have anywhere from 2-4mths off a season require extended vacay breaks DURING the season. This is NHLPA directed "just for us" dictum that doesn't benefit the league or its fans or any corollary business that depends on some of the revenue. Anything from restos, bars, hotels, service industries are impacted by the lengthy breaks. Its extended compromised revenue time.
El Dorado 12yr!Not really a dark, thats an amber rum and not too great. Albeit Appletons makes one popular reserve aged rum. But not what most people think of as Appletons.
Standard Darks would be Kraken, Old Port, Old Monk, (both east indian rum and widely available here)None are bad choices. By all means though buy the east indian rums on sale instead of the overpriced Kraken.
Steps up would be Baron Samedi, Trader Vics, Myers Plantation, Coruba, Gosling Black seal, Mount Gay, Flor De Cana aged 12 or more (all reasonable choices and better than standard swill.
Better still would be Pyrat, Zacapa, Angostura
Wines and Beyond is a great place and they do some samples if you ask and at different times theres testings for those that really want to try different varieties.
Gosling Black seal is often on sale and probably the best starting point to try a rum with a decent reputation that offers more than a standard rum experience and more complex flavors. Its reasonably priced. Drink that and you know why you never buy stuff like Captain Morgan or Lambs. By all means never buy Malibu, that's what giggling girls or Matthew Tkachuk drink.
For a decent mixer, always on sale, try Amrut Old Port. A nice dark with complex flavors. Better imo than the better selling Old Monk which is more like black molasses. 25 bucks and you get an attractively unique labeled Black rum that somehow speaks rums days of lore, and that can impress anybody from a novice to somebody that appreciates good rum. Its my darkhorse, pun intended.

Isn't this a relatively new thing that shows like The Walking Dead started doing so they could drum up interest by claiming a season premiere twice in the same season?Well to be fair most programs take a break during over the holiday seasons, at least regular TV shows.
