flyerrod Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 There is an article on Silly.com about this....It would appear that the Flyers daylight record is 4-9-1 for afternoon games and they play a total of 18 daylight games this season. I am having trouble posting the link but it shows the goalie stats too...No wonder Bettman is scheduling the lion's share of Flyers games for the afternoon. Is there any other team that even comes close to that many nooners?and to answer my own question, here is a list of the Eastern Conference teams and how many daylight games they play.. TEAM DAY GAMES1) Flyers 182)Bruins 163)Devils 144)Isles 145)Penguins 126)Rangers 127)Senators 118)Hurricanes 99)Panthers 910)Capitals 811)Canadiens 712)Jets 613)Lightning 514)Sabres 415)Leafs 2The mighty Laffs only rate 2 prime time games......that does kind of warm the heart a little....

Vanflyer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I guess what I don't understand is why wouldn't it be even across the board: every team in the league plays the same amount of day games. Seems odd to me that one team can have 16 while another has only 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers97 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I hate the afternoon games too!I thought I read somewhere that all the afternoon games were so that they could be broadcast in Europe in the evening. I'm sorry, but it's a North American league. By all means broadcast the games across the pond, but let them DVR 'em, like I have to do for all these stupid afternoon games!

exPhillyGuy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not to mention our horrendous record during the day games, playoffs included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH1FlyersFan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My theory is the team is really a bunch of vampires and the daylight is killing their power to play effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin20 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Welcome to TV land. Just think how many people have to work,go to weddings,funerals,babyshowers,etc.Afternoon games suck! What next:Morning games?Believe it or not back in the late 80s I attended a morning game at the Spectrum vs the Isles. It started at 11:30 AM. We did win too. It was either 1988 or 1989.I hate attending afternoon games anyway as it wipes out a good part of my day and if they lose I am pissed for the rest of the day and if they win I am left wanting more. Give me a night game anytime where I can be productive all day and then end it with a hockey game. Then if they win I can go to bed happy, if they lose I go to bed pissed an have a better perspective in the morning.

AJgoal Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 TV Land is right, probably. you figure most afternoon games are either Saturday or Sunday, only one Sunday game is in the evening, typically. I figure the Leafs (and the other canadian teams) play a lot of Sat night games because of HNIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd to me that one team can have 16 while another has only 2.Atlantic division teams are 5 of the top 6. Could it be basketball that gets precedence?

Vanflyer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 @Digityman- thats a good question with the basketball. You would certainly think if that was the cause, they could do a much better job of balancing it out. Then again, the Sens don't have a basketball team and they have 11 day games compared to their neighbors Toronto who only have 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlyer1 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anybody? How many day games come later in the season. I have no facts but they seem to happen more often near the end. I wonder if the basketball and other entertainment venues enter into the schedule?Sorry no answers just questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
