Not sure about the extent of your investigations or exhaustive discussions, but have you considered... travel?
Yeah? You schedule the team for an east coast or / west coast trip. Otherwise there are likely multiple days off in between. It'snot really a new concept in sports. East coast teams have west coast trips often.
But if you're already scheduling multiple games back-to-back in the same city, it knocks off the need to repeat visits.They do that infrequently, and they only face non conference opponents like twice a year as a result. There's a good reason for that.

Well, the only counterpoints have been "Travel" and "No". Again, I like the concept but ultimately it's not going to change my opinion on the sport.Or we could just keep things as they are. I don't know why you want this so badly lol
Location wise it makes sense to have the divisions as they are, for the most part. That's your answer.

Yes, infrequently. Because of the amount of travel. Like Abylim said.Yeah? You schedule the team for an east coast or / west coast trip. Otherwise there are likely multiple days off in between. It'snot really a new concept in sports. East coast teams have west coast trips often.
Let's focus on this. Because if this is what you believe, then it sort of explains why you're confused.But if you're already scheduling multiple games back-to-back in the same city, it knocks off the need to repeat visits.
You only need one counterpoint. Travel. It precludes any other reason for an 82-game schedule where a team like Vancouver would play multiple times in cities like Toronto (3364 km), Ottawa (3552 km), and Montreal (3693 km).Well, the only counterpoints have been "Travel" and "No". Again, I like the concept but ultimately it's not going to change my opinion on the sport.

What a beaut
😤Aw. Felt bad for Gibson, he was playing great. Then take the L.
Didn't plan to.
Wild. He was not supposed to be back this soon..... I don't get it.
Dont worry Chicago wouldnt look good in any division.Good win FLA. Chicago is really not looking great in this division.
Not sure where you got that from
Varlamov (jaw) is available to play Monday against the Bruins, per coach Barry Trotz, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
Varlamov was injured in warmups Saturday when he took a puck to the jaw, but the Russian netminder appears to have gotten over the injury. Trotz hasn't named a starter for Monday's game yet, but there's a good chance Varlamov will get the nod over Ilya Sorokin now that he's healthy.
