The most ridiculous part about this schedule, after the long breaks the Blues keep having back-to-back night games - several times on the road.

There is one stretch later in the season when the Blues play the Canucks, Oilers and Flames in a 4-day span on the road. There is zero reason for this crap if the league can afford to schedule all the current time off.

This schedule is so bad it must have been planned by Major League Baseball.

Nothing keeps momentum up like a week between games.

Looks like November is packed thick with games though, at least starting on Thursday.

You think it's just us? I read that the Hurricanes didn't have their first home game until last week. THAT is ridiculous.

The Dead Things are going through the same non-playing scheduling BS this season - unlike past years - so they and the Blues will be on a more even keel. FYI - the Blackhawks are playing AGAIN tonight.

After tonight:
CHI - 14 GP
STL - 9 GP
DET - 9 GP

Why in holy heck have the Hawks played FIVE more games already?

Even better, Chicago plays AGAIN on Wed - making it a six game difference. :roll: :hawkssuck:

Just keep on rooting for the Hawks to lose and the division will be the Blues.

On a related note- (no pun intended)- look at the Blues' schedule for mid-November

7 games in 11 days I think it is :?

We're about to make up some time REAL quick. The boys better enjoy the few days off they have now and show a good effort this week as a result.

They can't play home games that conflict with, well, whatever's popular down in the Carolina's this time of year. The opening of turkey hunting season or something.

Yeah, November seems to be a busy month. Now Conks will get some playing time and we'll see what the boys are made of. 7 in 11 days? I'll be happy with 5-2 over the 7. Obviously better would be better.
