Being a Kings fan and going to 10-15 games a year, I'm sick of seeing Dallas, Phoenix, and San Jose. I used to like seeing the Stars and the Sharks, but it's been way too many times after the last couple seasons. With the Ducks, it doesn't matter how many times we play them, it could be only twice a season, and the rivalry will still be intense. I want the chance to see all of the teams. I hope Ken Holland and his cohorts succeed in getting at least a home-and-home with every team in the league. I don't want to wait a year or two to see certain Eastern Conference teams.

So.... why can't hockey take the best of football and baseball. Every week Thurs Fri and Sat (or Fri Sat Sun) 3 game series against a team. Set days would help fantasy leagues, cut back on travel expenses, easier for promotion, 27 weekends (1 for the all star game) means 78 games, 2 series against division (8 series), 1 series against rest of conference (10 series), 1 series against 1 division of the other conference(5series), and then 3 more to balance strength of schedule. 6 less games, but healthier happier players with a true structure to Hockey night.

I was getting rather sick of Blues-Predators games myself. As a Blues fan living out east within 4 hours' drive of 5 NHL teams, I think the fact that the Blues didn't play a single one of these five in '07-'08 on their home rinks is rather absurd. Nice.
