I also saw on TSR that there are fewer Value games this year than last.

Buftex Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 W/ the "new" NHL, they increased the emphasis on division rivals (8 games in division like back in the mid-'80's, vs 6 games pre-lockout). 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. 722306[/snapback] Wow, I watched nearly every game this past season, between December and throughout the playoffs, and never realized that the Sabres did not play a whole division...thanks for the info...I feel dumber than usual....
Buftex Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Yup, its part of the new scheduling. More divisional games and all that. 722269[/snapback] I ain't talkin' to you, pokerface!
