Speak on the schedule
So the Sabres' 2008-09 schedule is out and we've all had a few hours to digest it. Now the floor is yours for discussion. Here's some points to ponder:
1). Buffalo fans get to see the Wings and Ducks. Plus the two visits from the Penguins, Capitals, Flyers and Rangers as well as the three meetings with the Habs, Senators, Bruins and Laffs. So is there really anything to gripe about regarding the home schedule other than no trip here for Patrick Kane and Brian Campbell?
2). How worried are you about a 13-game January schedule that's laced with 10 road games -- including a killer trip that goes Edmonton, Calgary, Phoenix before ending Feb. 2 in Anaheim?
3). What's the one roadie you might think about making?
4). The NHL changed the scheduling format this year, cutting division games from eight to six to ensure you'd play every team in the other conference at least once. Now that you've seen the change in action, what do you think?
