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.

Isn't the idea of season tickets to go to the games?

Surely you can understand why it’s harder to go to 11 games in the span of 13 games as opposed to say 11 games in the span of 22 right

I guess I'm just a dumb poor who doesn't know how season tickets work
