Please note that wk 1 of the 2015-16 schedule runs Oct7-18.
I believe PPG made the call for a 21 wk regular season to allow for 4 match-ups per team wkly for an 84 game reg.sesson schedule (close to the NHL's 82 game reg.season). The alternatives were a 66 game sched. or 88 games.
Lets see if anyone can pull off an undefeated reg. season (
LA did it last yr with a 22 game reg.sesson schedule) ever again with 80+ reg season games.
