So, is that an unbalanced schedule? ZERO games with the East? Hmmm.... I wonder if Buttman had his hand in this.

I'm just glad the Griffs are on the road for the opening of deer season. I always hate that conflict.

My biggest complaint with the schedule is also no Eastern Conference teams but we have known that since the league announced the schedule format back in June. The other thing that I do not like is the game on the night before Thanksgiving.

A couple things I noticed...
No Friday night games during HS football season. The first Friday is Thanksgiving weekend by which time all but a handful of schools will be done.

December will be a busy hockey month at the Van.

Travel seems easier this year.

I also wish they'd play more Eastern teams.

Providence makes a swing out this way in late February, early March. The P-Bruins play Milwaukee, Rockford, Chicago, Houston and San Antonio. I will probably travel to the games vs. Rockford (3/1) and Chicago (3/2). (Being a Bruins fan I'm anxious to see Tuukka Rask play).

One thing I do like is 6 out of the last 10 at the Van.
