After a long off-season followed by a competitive Training Camp and a surprisingly enjoyable preseason so far, we are more than ready for the Vegas Golden Knights to get the 2019-20 NHL regular season underway on Oct, 2 against the San Jose Sharks.
However, given we are so close to the return of proper hockey now, we took a look at the schedule and those first two weeks in October looks absolutely brutal. Let us repeat; absolutely brutal.
The Knights open the regular season with a back-to-back double header against the San Jose Sharks, before taking on last year’s Stanley Cup finalist in the Boston Bruins, a road game against Phil Kessel and the Arizona Coyotes before returning home to take on the Calgary Flames.
