RE: Canes schedule stacked with 9 back-to-backs
It's going to be like a playoff atmosphere every game!- Posted by juniorsk831
I agree, there is basically no rest in between games either as the schedule is packed tight. I like the Idea of the shortened season being ONLY games within your own conference. No big travel involved here except Winnipeg. That's a long flight in 1 day to get a game in ...... these guys have had plenty of off-season rest so they should be anxious to get back out on the ice.

Normally these type situations make me want to rebel against the sport, but I have to admit. I'll be there for every game I can. Thank you for bringing hockey back.- LoginTalk Smack Forums: Caniacs Corner
