Exactly -- instead of having a clearly defined system, I'd rather have some judgement used, and see the Isles play each Western team at least once.

At least with regards to teams in other conferences, it is a change of scenery. Wings/Panthers may not bring much to the table, but at least you get to see them once. Wings/Predators, or what have you, will likely get boring after a while.

I'm in favour of the schedule. The best games have always been against divisional rivals. I really don't care if Toronto, Montreal, or New York don't play us every year, let alone Florida or Carolina. If I want to watch someone in particular (Crosby), it will definitely be on TV.

What happened to the 3 minutes of 3-on-3 after the 1st OT that I heard about somewhere?

It was an idea that was floated, but not implemented.

We'll see if you still think so after watching Minnesota eight times. Rule changes or no, you know Lemaire's going to find a way to make his team boring. Nice to know that the western teams will only have to put up with a building full of annoying Ontario-refugee Leaf fans once every three years, though. |

I agree for the most part. I have nothing against 8 games again both Chicago and St. Louis. It will be nice to rekindle those rivalries. I think a Detroit/Columbus rivalry would be great, should be natural given there is some groundwork already for that given the whole Michigan/Ohio State thing. Not sure if I will ever get excited by Nashville, but you never know. But more Colorad/Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton, Tonronto/Ottawa, etc. That's all good.

Good point. I still think 24 games against Vancouver, Edmonton and Colorado will make up for 8 against Minnesota. |

I think the whole Det/Columbus thing is heating up for a few reasons: 1) Columbus is becoming much more competative, and are a couple good D-men away from the playoffs (Aucoin, Rafalski??????) 2) Most of the hockey fans in this city were Red Wing fans and Detroit fans travel well down to Columbus, so we've seen the building full of red too much. 3) The ending of the last couple games in 03-04(Maltby putting Klesla into the door to the bench AND the Wings fans throwing octopi on the ice in our building, then the CBJ's beating Det up at the Joe to end the season) 4) Ray Whitney, thanks for saving us money 5) tOSU v. Michigan However, we've been heating up with Nashville as well (Tootoo biting Wright's finger), and I think these extra games will help. Last edited by TurnerONU22 : 07-25-2005 at 09:44 PM. |

They won't be able to fine the idiot commentators or idiot fans, which will be the biggest problem.
