There was a 37-day gap between Games 40 and 50, with all previous (and subsequent) such intervals on the order of 19-22 days.  On no fewer than four occasions did the team have three full days off between games, in addition to their mandated mid-season vacation. Only one other time all season long does the team get as many as three practice days -- between Games 81 and 82. Read More

  30-01-2020 22:40 via edmontonjournal.com
  
  How do you indulge a wino who also loves beer?
