A few thoughts:
-The new (old) Kings logo looks good on the calendar. The Ducks didn't pop as much. Don't know why.
-I'm oddly excited to see how Utah plays. It's nice the NHL can schedule back to backs in Denver / Salt Lake City
-I don't understand why teams likely to be in the playoffs would have more home games in the first half of the season, but the Oilers certainly do.
-The Oilers 10th game will be their second against the division. Their 28th will be their sixth.
-I'll be annoyed in January about a stretch of games that goes Sea, Bos, Pit, Chi, HOME, Min, Den, Van.
-2 full weeks off for the all star game is silly
-2 long eastern road trips in late Feb / early March will be tough. I liked the Oilers schedule better when they had a 6 gamer in November for the rodeo and very few other trips to the eastern time zone.
-The Oilers have a late season stretch where 8 of 9 games start at 8 pm or later. Sorry eastern / Euro friends.
-I think there's a weird number of evening Sunday games, but that might just be perception
-Feels like there are far fewer Wednesday night games for American TV. Maybe Connor and the Oilers didn't move the TV needle last year
-3 of the last 8 games are against the sharks. 6 of the last 8 against California.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
