cmjoyce113 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I just saw on wgr that the schedule will be released today at 2 p.m. I am a little excited to plan on which games I'm going to head to and see what the first month of the season will look like for us.

IF the Sabres lead the league in back to back games again we know the fix is in.
Claude_Verret Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 It will be interesting to see the SE division teams nightmare travel schedules with all those trips up to Winnipeg.
beerme1 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Planning a train ride road trip to Montreal for 8 of us and desperately want a Saturday night game.
cmjoyce113 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 I am hoping we don't get stuck with a late season road trip that last 8 to 10 games again.
dEnnis the Menace Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 IF the Sabres lead the league in back to back games again we know the fix is in. yeah, I really hope we don't get shafted again. Although, the Friday Saturday combos allowed me to go to more games with being so far away. I liked going to the games, but in the end, I can deal with just a Friday or Saturday or even Sunday game here and there.
spndnchz Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 It's up: http://www.nhl.com/i...on.htm?team=buf Carolina at Buffalo Friday Oct 14th first home game. Winnipeg at Buffalo Tuesday Nov 8th and Jan 7th at Winnipeg Jan 19th and March 5th. 7 game road trip last half of January. March the busiest month with 16 games in 31 days.
Drunkard Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 http://sabres.nhl.com/club/schedule.htm Schedule is out and it looks like we got shafted by the schedule. I counted 21 back to backs which is basically half our schedule. I guess they lost whatever memo Ted Black sent to the league requesting fewer back to back games. Maybe I should pull up some other teams to compare.

thesportsbuff Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 2011-2012 Sabre Schedule Here it is. +1 for being 10 minutes ahead of everyone else hahaha
carpandean Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I counted 21 back to backs Ha! I counted 19 in my first run-through. 15 may be the number of Fri/Sat back-to-backs, but there were some others. I'll try it again ... Edit: 20 the second time. There are a couple that are on the last day in one month and the first day in the next month. Edit: 21 the third time. Drunkard is the winner ... guess I need to drink more. Note: in the last 14 games, there are only two (both F/S), and there is only one more (well, one and half) earlier in March.
Drunkard Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Just looking at our division the Sabres have 21 back to back games, Montreal has 14, the Massholes have 13, and Toronto and Ottawa both have 17. I declare shenanigans on the NHL.

thesportsbuff Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I don't care, I love back to backs. I also love this: "Buffalo’s busiest night of the week is Saturday, with the team playing on 24 of a possible 25 throughout the season." Nothing beats getting wasted for a Sabres game on a Saturday night! ...except for getting wasted Friday AND Saturday for back to backs! But really, do we need to bitch about the back-to-backs? They have three b2bs in the last FIVE weeks of the season... I don't think that's going to wear em out down the stretch or anything.

I declare shenanigans on the NHL. Honestly, when I was a kid, playing double-headers in the same day wasn't a problem and I was far from a professional athlete. I guess the travel situation involved needs to be looked at but the number of back-to-backs should mean longer breaks between other games and may not be a terrible thing. Haven't looked--interested in how many are home and homes which would further negate the effect.
Eleven Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks, NHL, for giving us one (true) home game in the first seven.
ubkev Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Gonna wear out the DVR again this season! 7 total games on sundays and mondays (my nights off). And the worst part of it is i dont have the patience to wait til i get home to actually watch the game! Oh well, at least i get to see the Bills play live. Actually that could prove more depressing than anything else...
Claude_Verret Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Two Friday night games here in Carolina. This is the first time in a very long time that the Sabres don't play here for a Saturday or Sunday game. It looks like we will all just need to take half days at work to keep our pre-game pillaging efforts to at least 4 - 5 hours.

Corp000085 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 FYI, the ical schedule seems to be broken right now. I'd suggest not importing it yet.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 That was probably requested by Carolina. Those pussies!!!!!
