What is a watered down schedule?Just what we asked for, more watered down schedules and talent
I'm pretty sure they mean teams playing against each other even less often than now.What is a watered down schedule?
A calendar featuring lackluster light beers?What is a watered down schedule?
With regular-season ticket prices too.
34,664 announced attendance for the two games combined. No Canadian team playing, no Nordiques. Fan support isn't an issue. Maybe.....just maybe, this could inspire someone(s) to step up and become co-owner(s).
Perhaps it will attract others to invest. But even if a couple preseason games does get the money rolling, there are a number of other challenges with the QC market that don't exist in the other known prospective markets.Maybe.....just maybe, this could inspire someone(s) to step up and become co-owner(s).
If this is the case (I'm not saying this is your opinion CTHabs), this is something worth bitching about? I don't get it.I'm pretty sure they mean teams playing against each other even less often than now.
Tell me your team never had a rivalry without telling me your team never had a rivalryIf this is the case (I'm not saying this is your opinion CTHabs), this is something worth bitching about? I don't get it.
I'd think we'd still see the division rivals a million times a year anyway.
So that's a watered down schedule? Getting a better variety of games? This works both ways. Sweet! I get to see a Jackets-Islanders game for the 7th time this season?! ...said no one ever.Tell me your team never had a rivalry without telling me your team never had a rivalry
Yeah, less Bruins-Leafs, more Bruins-Kraken and Leafs-Ducks. Hooray!...said no one ever.
This complaint, while valid, is not the result of expansion. Team owners, who are members of the Board of Governors, made the choice to see every team in every building at least once per season. That's it.Tell me your team never had a rivalry without telling me your team never had a rivalry

Atlanta hosted sold out preseason games in The Omni in the early 1990s, leading to the Knights coming to town.
Maybe QC should have an AHL affiliate for the Habs.

The league, if they wanted, could expand to 60 teams and still find ways to maintain rivalries if they so chose. But the schedules today are crafted with everyone playing everyone else at least once in mind. I don't really like it any more than you do, as I've said. I want more rivalry games.
I thought the Thrashers would've had a nice rivalry with the Preds if they saw each other more often (and if they do it right, maybe that rivalry could finally happen once the Thrashers return), for example. Leafs-Bruins is legendary. But teams playing each other less is the result of scheduling, not the result of expansion.
