PromoTheRobot Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Only 4 games that happen the same weekend as Bills games: Oct 20, 2006 HOME Hurricanes 8:00 PM ET (Patriots 10/22) Nov 4, 2006 HOME Maple Leafs 7:00 PM ET (Packers 11/5) Nov 24, 2006 HOME Canadiens 8:00 PM ET (Jaguars 11/26) Dec 16, 2006 HOME Senators 7:00 PM ET (Dolphins 12/17) What sucks is 3 of the 4 are canadian teams, which means "gold" pricing and hard-to-get tickets. I should point out that Nov.4 is also the UB/Kent State game, so you can make a NCAA/NHL/NFL triple-header that weekend. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agilen Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 For some relevance to the Bills... On Friday, Oct. 13 the Sabres play the Red Wings in Detroit, then that Sunday, Oct. 15th, the Bills play the Lions in Detroit. Seeing as my girlfriend is from d-town, we are probably gonna make the trip there for that weekend. Also, once again like last year, the Sabres play the Canadiens on the day after thanksgiving, Friday Nov. 24th, and the Bills play at home against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 26th. I'll also most likely attend these two games. All-in-all, the schedule worked out really well for me, as we also play the Rangers at MSG on my birthday!

F___ the Caniacs!!! 722041[/snapback] That's true, but how great will it be to hear the let's go buffalo chant as their banner is being raised to a position of prominence behind all the NC State basketball banners. Something tells me you might see a bit of good old fashioned goon hockey for this one. I'll be there, and tickets won't be hard to come by.

EZC-Boston Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Pros - @ Bruins some games besides Saturday nights. It cost me a fortune going to those games last year. Cons - Last Saturday night game at the Habs is January 20th. It will be pretty cold up there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Sigh, no Stars this year in Dallas. 722206[/snapback] Did I miss something? Since when do all teams not play eacohther at least once during the regular season? Is this part of the "new" NHL thing? Who did the Sabres not play this past season? I was really hoping the Sabres would be playing in Dallas...oh well, likely I will go home the weekend the Bills play the Jags, and the Sabres play Montreal....

To accomodate that, they went to playing 1 home game vs each team from 1 opposite conference division, 1 road game vs another division's teams, and skipping the 3rd division. Sabres skipped the worst division in hockey last year (St. Louis, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, & Nashville) and are on the road against them this year. So Buffalo will travel to LA, Dallas, SJ, Phoenix, and Anaheim next year but don't play them at all this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they used to play every team in the West twice? I think the NBA still does this, and they're still able to play more games vs. division opponents than everybody else. 8 games vs. 1 team is a lot and I don't see the need for it. Lets face it - rivalries are made in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it - rivalries are made in the postseason. 722351[/snapback] They played everyone at least once and had home and homes with 3 teams in the Western Conference under the prior system. (They just played home or road vs 12 teams.) They played 6 vs in division rivals and 4 vs the other teams in conference. Personally, I'd rather see them keep the 8 games per season vs teams in division (lets face it, it's more fun to go to a TO game than a TB game) but drop the in conference schedule to a h&h and have h&h's with the west as well. (Or at least drop it to 3 in conf and h&h with 1/2 of the west.) Heck, as it stands now, if I miss this year's Calgary game it'll be 2009 before I get a chance to see Phaneuf play in person unless the Sabres meet them in the Finals.
