Re: 2008-2009 Schedule

Sabres in DC Dec 26 and April 3- one game in the midst of the busy holiday season and one at the very end of the season. That sucks.

I don't know if I'll be able to make the Dec game and I'll have to get tix to the April 3 game early because if the Caps go on another late-season run the bandwagon jumpers will be out in force and there won't be any available.

Re: 2008-2009 Schedule

2/26 and 4/9 for me. April 3rd is my birthday though, maybe I can manage a trip to DC for that? Depends on the day of the week I guess.

Edit: Hmm, it's a Friday, definitely a possibility then. Both the games at Carolina are Thursdays and they're both really late this year, that kinda sucks.

I was really hoping they would be playing in Columbus this year since I won't be able to go to Buffalo for a game.

They play in Boston the night before the Bills play in New England.

And

Then play in Jersey the night before they play the Jets.

Ouch on the West Coast swing for sure. I always hate that stretch, I can't stay up late enough to see the games.

Re: 2008-2009 Schedule

I have to wait past 4:00pm and 4:30pm to see those games...it is torture.

Well see, that would suck for me too. Games at 4 or so, I'd miss the beginning of! I still can't imagine what it would be like to watch NFL football at 10 AM on Sundays!

Re: 2008-2009 Schedule

Schopp as negative as he is says that this is the 3rd toughest schedule out of the 29 other teams. He probably got the info from big Walrus Paul Hamilton.

I prefer that though... I don't want to see them play Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal/Boston 12 times a piece and then not see them play some West teams every few years.

Re: 2008-2009 Schedule

The one thing that I noticed off the bat is in October playing at home and playing in Atlanta the next night. Oh well...

I already highlighted my games of interest as I plan on making several more trips this year (ahem...Lecter)
