Not surprising. Three in four, or 35 in 71 or whatever some others teams are trying to deal with can get tough on rest. A week long lay off is great for healing some bumps and bruises and taking the foot off the pedal for a moment but sometimes you get too refaced. Terrible for in game timing and intensity on an individual player level.
Re: NHL teams are terrible coming off their 5 day break
I had a feeling this would happen. These guys are professional hockey players and are used to the rigours of playing a condensed schedule. While the rest might be good for those nursing injuries, it is easy to see how their timing, intensity and speed could be thrown off after such a long and unaccustomed lay off.

Small sample size.
Chicago was by far the better team than the Oilers last night and lost due to a hot goalie and bad luck.
Maybe there is something to the bye week rest idea but until we get a few seasons worth of data I wouldn't read much into it.

Re: NHL teams are terrible coming off their 5 day break
I don't like the bye week but I feel that most players should be ok with the rest since they technically have bye weeks all the time in college, ahl, and junior. Often times you only play on the weekend in those leagues

It's like running a race. You run hard - sweat - get in a rhythm and pace yourself, then when you sit down for a bit and try and get back up and do it again you typically do not perform at the same level until you kind of get going again. The cream will rise to the top though - so the teams that were strong pre-break will gain their momentum again.

Reminds me a bit of seed 1 versus seed 8....when seed 1 has it locked up early and is coasting at the end of the year, where seed 8 is battling every game right until the end to make the playoffs. there is something to be said about being in a groove...
Re: NHL teams are terrible coming off their 5 day break
I wonder how much of it is because there's not enough practice time when they come back. They're gone for five days, and often have a game on the sixth or seventh day. That leaves just one practice to get back into the groove. That's not enough to get the team ready and focused after such a long layoff.

Good link.
It doesn't surprise me, the losing after the bye.
Hockey is definitely a rhythm game - time off is not good for chemistry.
Long term, the rest and mental break are still probably a net benefit for teams.
A few losses never hurts to get the team to reinvest in themselves anyways.
