After teasing us yesterday with the home opener schedule, the NHL finally released the full schedule today. Let's take a look, and then do some breakdowns! My first reaction is that it is a very, VERY nice schedule!
There you go. First thoughts?
- First, the bad. By my count, 18 back-to-backs. What else is new? All involve travel, but by my count, only three involve a time zone change, and all three are from Eastern to Central. St. Louis, Dallas, and Chicago are the three I noticed, none of which is brutal.
- I like how it finishes.
