The NHL schedule is a mess this year. With the bye weeks and playing "rivals" over a course of a few weeks and then never playing again is silly. They play the Habs 3 times in a week next month. Seems like the NHL is trying to have an NFL, MLB, and NBA schedule all into one. Simply doesn't work. You can't force rivalries. They just happen.
Why professional athletes need a "bye" week, is beyond me. They have bye weeks in their off season...
Rant over about that.
Would be nice to see an exciting game tonight, but the only way the Sens are successful is playing a boring brand of hockey. Not a knock, but the reality.
