2012-2013 Schedule

[Old_Smokie]

I know there is no tentative schedule setup but I am just starting a thread so we can compile some resources etc about the modifications and what rumours people have heard so far.

I read a tweet a minute ago that the trade deadline is rumoured to be on the 5th of April but that isn't set in stone at the present.

Does anyone know when the regular season would end given we fit in 48 games? I know before they mentioned the season would be prolonged and probably go longer, can anyone shed some light on that for me? Thanks a ton you guys!

Depends on the start date, but assuming the 19th then that would put the last reg season game during the third week of April.

I wonder if they are planning on keeping all games that were originally scheduled the same, and adding some more into what used to be off days OR if it is a brand new schedule with totally different dates.

This is kinda what I'm wondering as well.

i think the schedule needs to be entirely rebuilt.

sounds like all games will be within your own conference, with an emphasis on teams in your own division.

Schedule will be redone. Not just altered.

This is all I could find , does not really answer your question 100% but...

• The season will run either 48 games or 50 games and will be kept entirely within the conference. Under the 48-game scenario, teams play everyone outside their division three times and an unbalanced schedule internally, with five games against two rivals and four games against two others. The 50-game scenario is more straightforward with five games versus divisional opponents and three more against everyone else in the conference.

• For the shortened 2012-13 NHL season, an April 5 trade deadline and July 5 start to free agency have been proposed. The sides have yet to formally sign off on that yet.

its a brand new sched. no crossover games. east cannot meet west till stanley cup finals. reg season is east v.s east and west v.s west only

Friedman's latest tweet says it will be a 48 game season starting on the 19th.

[Shake]

We'll see if this holds, but apparently this is the target.



Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC

NHL sends memo to clubs indicating no camps before Saturday (and may not open until Monday), 48-game season to begin Jan. 19

[Chili con Carne]

Thanks Shakedown.

[27Blue]

if the season is really only confence play, then we won't be getting any saturday night bonanzas where all 30 teams play...

we have waited over three months for hockey to return, but these next 2 weeks are going to seem like the longest stretch yet...

[hockeymanG23]

Cool, I thought the 19th would make sense as a target date. The week before that should have a nice build up with all the training camp news
