Red Dragons Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 How about we focus on having a season before we shorten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It should be up to the players. They're the ones that have to actually go out there and play and do all the rigorous activity and travel. Of course the owners will cry about it. Losing out on a couple million is a real blow to your bank account when you've got 400 million in there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Whisht Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I would like to see less games, and the season end earlier. By the time the playoffs are ending, it's almost hard to get excited about it, especially if our team is out. There's too much to do outside on those long, light nights. I think it would be very beneficial to the players to get more time between games. It would be nice to see people playing at their best, not dragging their butt at the end of the season.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I think it should stay the same. No more. No less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Anyone else remember the old saying "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"? There haven't been any real problems with an 82 game season, a shorter season would only further hurt the struggling markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Canuck Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 As I posted in the other thread - a shorter season plus a contraction of 2-4 teams would really raise the quality of hockey in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Canuck Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 screw that, i'd rather have hockey all year long with the only offseason being when you are eliminated from the playoffs, and then 2 weeks after the cup is handed out for training camp and drafting.

elvis15 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't like the playoffs going into June. But $$$$$$$$$$$$$ so it will never happen. There is a chance the season will be lengthened but no chance of being shortened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I wouldn't mind a shorter season by decreasing the number of games played against other teams in our division. The breakdown of the games should be something like 1) A Home and Away against every other team in the league. (29 x 2) games 2) An extra game against the other teams in your conference (29 x 2)+14 games=72 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 When you have too much of something, people usually get bored of it no matter what it is. Less would create much more demand and interest which is better for business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sure. Then add another round of playoffs. I'm sure the owners will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luongo_01 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Theoretically (unlikely, I know), if the league and PA come to a miraculous agreement, how many games would be played at this point in time? 60? 40? Would the cancellation of the Winter Classic have any bearing on the # of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Even with a shorter season you'd still get plenty of games through 'the long winters'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
