    What a poor NHL schedule................

    ............I don't like the unbalanced schedule nor do I like the travel schedule.

    The Oilers played 3 games in four nights, with a home game in the middle? Earlier in the season they had five or six days off between games. The Flamers had the same type of break.

    Who is the nut making the schedule? They must have been dog tired last night.

    It's done on purpose.

    Something like 65% of games that are played on the 3rd day in 4 nights, and the teams winning % in those games is somewhere around 35%.

    Bettman may not be the sharpest knife the drawer..

    But he sure as hell realizes that this a gate-driven league, and home wins lead to better attendance.

          Here's the numbers from mid-march of last season:

          Of the 334 games so far in which one of the teams is on the back end of a B2B ... on 260 occasions it was the road team. That'd be 78%.. can't find the 3 games in 4 nights numbers, but that should give you a rough idea.

          .27 Goals/Game.

          That's the number a home team outscores a road team by if all things are even (roster, rest).

          .35 goals

          Would be the number a rested team outscores an unrested team by (B2B games).

          .31 goals

          Would be the number a rested road team outscores an unrested home team.

          The schedule is definitely formed to favour home teams.

          As annoying as it is, it makes a lot of sense for the NHL to do this.
