cdjen 21 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Not only they are traveling from Caroline to Tampa, they will be playing the back end with a team that will have been resting in Tampa 3 days. Am I the only one thinking that this is unfair? I know that every club has BXB games but do they play against teams that have 3 days rest at home???Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 It's unfair that Tampa has more talent and a brighter future than us, while having a GM that is a Wings legend and was in the Wings' management only a few years ago. That's unfair. 6 AtlantaHotWings, xault, roboturner and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Honestly, I'd rather play a team that has been rested for 3 days than playing a team that only rested for 1 day....they may be a bit flat. 3 NerveDamage, Hockeymom1960 and kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 The Wings are like 1-7 or something like that playing against teams who played the night before. Ill take rested teams the rest of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill take rested teams the rest of the year. Nevermind. You answered my question. We suck at this every year. That's what happens when you have a small, soft team that doesn't wear opposition down. We're the worst team in the league at that. Edited December 19, 2016 by GMRwings1983 1 Wingnut1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll probably be rescheduled the night before a day game! Edit: though I guess that can't happen with the 22 hour rule we just found out about. But minus that, my point stands haha 2nd Edit: Off Topic but do I get a 2008 Badge? I joined the site 56 days before they won the Cup that year!

roboturner 562 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 I mean it makes sense to play the Carolina make-up game while already in Carolina for a game. But if by some miracle we still have a reasonable shot at making the playoffs at that point, 3 games in 3 nights (and 7 games in 10 nights) during the 2nd to last week of the regular season will probably be too much to overcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
