Oilers 2024 2025 Schedule

[Oilers88]

I didn't see a thread about this anywhere, apologies if this is a repeat. The NHL has released their schedule, and the Oilers quietly posted it on their website:

https://www.nhl.com/oilers/schedule/2024/fullseason

Highlights include:

-We play on 21/25 possible Saturday's during the season. I think it is safe to say we're going to get a lot of nationally televised games this year.
-We open the season at home against Winnipeg. 6 of our first 8 are home games, which hopefully helps us get off to a quick start.
-Our first game in Utah is November 29.
- We have a 5 game roadtrip out east coming out of the 4 nations tournament. That's our longest roadtrip of the year.
-We have a pretty easy schedule in April to finish the season. Our of 9 total games, 3 are against the Sharks and one is against Anaheim. Other games are Vegas, LA x2, St. Louis and Winnipeg.

Only 4 Friday night games which is good for me as that is our D&D night!

Glad to see that the boys will be in Raleigh in March, and not November when things are typically at their lowest in Oil Country.

Hopefully it goes better than the last two games at PNC (outscored 13-5 ).

Looks like a pretty good schedule, have a partner now so I'll be fighting for the Chi, Utah (NYE) Rangers, Avs and Flames (Sat).

Flames i can see because they don't want to humiliate them further.

I think they just randomly alternate which divisional rivals you play 4 vs 3 games against every year. I'm pretty sure we played 4 against Calgary and Vancouver the last couple of years, so it's probably just their turn in the rotation.

22 National games, same as always with the 12-year deal with Rogers. 18 on SportsNet, 4 on Amazon Prime exclusively.

Last year around 30 regional games were "bumped" up to national. I would expect the same in 24-25. FYI Flames had around the same number of regionals bumped up to national.

I can’t wait to hear HFB claiming the Oilers have another easy schedule... all the way to the cup final

 

[CROTT]

These 2pm and earlier weekend starts can F off....

 

[RattsSSV]

4 games on Prime eh?

I like how the Utah team is just called The Hockey Team on my google calendar

Stupid name. Do they think they are British?!?!

They ended the canucks back to back opening home and away from the past 2 years. I was enjoying going to the first oilers away game. That sucks.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

That is a METRIC f*** TON of home games in December.

Should make for an interesting this month since this team is usually absolute dogwater in December/January.

 

[bellagiobob]

Not sure why we have to go to SJ for a solo game to end the season. Could have just scheduled it the week before when we were on our extended Cali trip.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

How do you watch a game on an app that sells books?

 

[The Trash Man]

Only 4 Friday night games which is good for me as that is our D&D night!

I know when you say that you mean this

But I can’t help but picture this

 

[cantthinkofone]

So excited after seeing this schedule. 26 home games fall on my days off. The first 4 home games fall of my week off with the battle of alberta on my birthday. I have always wanted to go to Florida for 2 games. This year they fall on my days off. We are looking for plane tickets already. I'm still riding the high from playoffs.

 

[KCC]

Way too many Saturday gsmes which means nails on a chalkboard Singh. Def will be watching the other team announcers a lot this year.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

82-0

So there are apparently 4 games on Prime only this year. Which means you can't watch them on regular cable. I have Prime, so it doesn't affect me much, but I still hate it. It's a bunch of bullshit.
