Wednesday afternoon with time on my hands. So, I thought I would pop in and give my 6 cents worth regarding the scheduling in the Western Division.
Personally, I feel it is just too punishing for one of the 4 Western Division Teams, having to go through such a brutal stretch during the first 39 games of the season. To me, having to play 27 out of 30 games on the road, will destroy a lot of teams chances of success.
Okay, you do get 9 straight at home to begin the season, but then that awful stretch kicks in. Sure enough, in the end it all evens out, but still makes it a difficult stretch to go through, at any point in the season.
My thinking would be to maybe start with the 9 games at home, then the 9 on the road, followed by 6 at home and then 15 on the road.
Okay that's my 6 cents worth, and now I don't have as much time on my hands.
