I just saw the strangest thing. The Panthers host the Devils twice in a row next week. I've never seen that in the regular season.
This happens against a few teams this season, its weird
I think they tried it for the first time last year or the year before… Taking a page out of baseball’s book.
Seems the PA has been all in for a couple of years and think it can grow the game or something.
Looks like they’re experiencing it more and more…
Maybe it’s all because of the 4 Nations yes, but pretty sure I read a column last year that talked about instauring those « back-to-back » in the season.
Cut the cost and fatigue, but also up the rivalries, that’s what they used as the main arguments.
