John.Tallhouse Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Around that time, we would have, back in the old days, back-to-back Canadiens-Nordiques match-ups. Those were epic battles. Miss my 'diques. Got family in Quebec, and I know they're hungry for the Diques in Quebec City , would love to see those back to backs again.. #screwVegas!

Slegr Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've noticed the pattern too, and yeah, it's a pretty random choice of a team. I'd rather see us play the Sabres at the start of a New Year, since the two teams are at least expansion twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The rebuttal here would be that if you don't care, don't respond. I'm responding with my opinion, which is, once again, I don't care. Why should you, and why should the OP? Just asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauncey Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I don't see why some of you feel the need to be such doinks about this. The OP was merely asking if anyone knows why this funny quirk in the schedule seems to happen every year. If you don't care about what this OP noticed you can simply stop opening this thread and making an ass of yourself. As for why, as 70seven mentioned above, perhaps the league likes some of the same matchups around the same holidays every year. It is kind of a neat quirk, I do remember many times where the Canucks play Philly around this time of year. Unfortunately we always seem to lose.

cbdoubleu Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Probably has something to do with Ed Snider not wanting his team to be laying around the house around New Years overeating and drinking. FYI since 1989 they have played the Flyers 11 times at home within a week of New Years, including 5 years in a row from 1995-99. Since 1970 they are 2-11-5 vs the Flyers at home in games within 4 days of New Years. I went to a few of those games in the 90's. Still remember Cliff Ronning out-muscling Lindros along the boards one time and the place going nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 We also tend to get the Rangers around the same time. No accident; just bringing in a high profile team to every market during the holidays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I wondered about this too. Maybe they have something that takes over their arena this time of year like a circus so they go on long road trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
