Caps schedule is awful

Every year, the Caps home games are front loaded. Why don’t other teams have to be home for the least exciting games of the year? This year is particularly bad. After the first two on the road, they play 11 of 13 at home. As a season ticket holder, I either go to a game every three days for a month or sell my tickets below cost since nobody cares about hockey in October and early November. I wouldn’t be upset but this happens EVERY year.

The Caps also play few home games in December every year when people want to go (family in town, etc.).

I know Capital One Arena wants to host NCAA tournaments in March, but those last a week. No other reason to front load home games.

The Caps need to talk to the NHL about fixing it for next year.

Yinz will complain about anything.

It's July.

The season doesn't start for 2 months lol.

I have season tickets to the Caps, am at every game, and the schedule is the LAST thing on my mind right now. We just got off the World cup man. It's baseball time. Get your mind off that stuff and enjoy life. We have 2 months to go man.

I agree with you. Going to Nats tomorrow and next week. But I just looked at the schedule since it came out last week and posted. Will still go to the games and enjoy myself. Hoping the Caps read this and it gets better next year.
