Looking at the schedule,it sucks that the Rangers dont play the Islanders until the 23rd game f the season and they dont play on Long Island until January 21, and the other game is the 3rd to last of the season.

The NHL needs to go to an unbalanced schedule like in Baseball. You play your division 5 times and the other 2 teams in the Conference 4 times. It is an abosolute joke that the Rangers play the Islanders, Flyers, and Devils 5 times, and play the Lightning, Panthers, and Thrashers 4 times, just one less game!

Here is how the schedule should work.
I will do this from an Atlantic Division Team point of view, the Rangers.

VS. ATLANTIC DIVISION (Flyers, Devils, Islanders, Penguins) 7 games vs. each team, equals 28 Games.

VS. NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST DIVISIONS (10 Total Teams) 3 games vs. each team, equal 30 Games.

VS. WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS (15 teams). 9 teams you play twice, 6 teams you play once. thats 24 games. equals 82 games,

Bottom line is that you need to see more marquis matches. I want to see more games against the Flyers, Devils and Islanders, I dont need to see 4 Rangers-Thrashers games a year!!

Abso-fuckin-loutely.
Sports is made better by rivalries. Even though I like watching the Avs, I'd never be as up for that game as Rangers vs. Isles or Rangers vs. Flyers.

I can never understand why the tools have to screw up good things.


2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....)
1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice
1a. Try and go a week without having to punch a wall in frustration after watching the Mets play
2. 90 Wins and somehow get the Mets into playoffs this year
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
3a.Have team understand it is OK to get a hit with runners on base.
4. Mets win World Series (after divine intervention)

Yeah you're totally right FB. I do hate it when we play the Thrashers and Predators. I still like the Original 6 rivalries vs. Montreal; Toronto; Chicago and Boston. Nothing like the Isles; Flyers; and Devils though... We don't really have to play Anaheim or Phoenix.


And I swear I don't have a gun...

2002 Crack Committee Objectives:


1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year


2. Hate the Braves with a passion


3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year


4. Met fans get drunk watching the World Series!!!


5. Start the 'rebuilding process' immediatley!

Its not necessarily the games against the West that are the problem. Right now you play some teams once and some team twice, and thats fine.

The problem is the Inter-Conference games. You can set that back to 3 games instead of 4 and nobody will care, and then you can add at least 1 and better yet 2 Divisional Games.
