Do any other teams have their mandatory week off the same time as the All Star break?

[LeafsNation75]

When I was looking at next seasons schedule for the Maple Leafs I noticed they have no games to be played from January 24, 2019 until February 1, 2019 when they play the Red Wings in Detroit. I know the All Star Game in San Jose is taking place on January 26, 2019 so it seems like the Maple Leafs mandatory week off is happening at the same during the All Star break. So do any other teams have their schedule set like that?

The Jets do, no games in Jan 20 - 27.
But Jets have another 6 days off after their 2 games in Europe, in early November

Sens’ sched does the same.

Kings as well

Didn't they get rid of that week off?

But the sharks have the 22nd of jan to feb 2nd off also.

On one hand, that’s total BS that some teams get two full weeks off and others only get one.

On the other hand, the Canes are one of the 2-weeks teams and we also happen to lead the league in back-to-backs. That’s not a coincidence... the teams who take their bye week during the AS break have a bit more breathing room for days off.

Anaheim 23rd to 2nd
Coyotes same.
Bruins. 19th to 29th
Sabres 18th to 29th
Flames 22nd to 1st.
Canes 23rd to 2nd
Hawks 22nd to 1st.

Considering its about 10 or so teams already mentioned with just the week of the allstar game off as a bye week. I am going to guess that all teams only get that 1 week off.

Oilers last season had something stupid like 4 games in 24 days or something. It was pretty awful as a oilers fan tbh

The canes only have 1 such week off.

Did that not help cope with... you know, the Oilers?

Oh.

I'd be happy with that situation as a fan, I hate the week off. I hate the 3-4 day breaks that occur naturally in the schedule too. If the players could play every day i'd watch it.

Of course I realize that most other sports/hockey fans would not watch daily and enjoy having some free time here and there for whatever that thing called "a life" is.

Nah they should play twice a day like baseball

 

[Barrie22]

We used to play 2-3 games a day 3-4 straight days in hockey. These grown men in the best shape of most humans should be able to do the same.

I feel like the quality of play did get worse by the end of those tournaments

The Leafs had a dumb schedule this past season as well. It constantly alternated prolonged layoffs with stretches of condensed games. You'd get 3-4 games in two weeks, followed by 5 games in 9 days. Which is frustrating as a fan. I actually thought Matthews' first injury was during the bye week because he missed 4 games in two weeks. Turns out the schedule was just stupid.

 

[tony d]

I think all teams have a bye week now during the season, makes sense to have it around the All Star Break.

Canucks:

January 23
February 2

9 days off
