Nice Schedule blog by SA's Tony U

Tony U. is one of the hockey writers for the San Antonio Express-News.
He was the team's first P.A. Announcer and is still around the team working as a freelancer. He does a nice blog for the Express-News and did this post recently, breaking down the schedule for one of the Aeros' big rivals to the West.

If you ever thought the Aeros schedule was bad, SA fans have a tough go of it in February when the team is forced to spend the month on the road because of the rodeo that occupies the AT&T Center.

Consider this excerpt from Tony's blog:

"San Antonio's worst stretch will be 5 games in 7 nights after they return from their rodeo road trip, which will once again stretch 15 games in 10 different cities, but at least there will be back-to-backs this year in Manitoba and Peoria to help that endurance trip."

Counting up the number of three-in-three's is generally a good way to see if a team is getting screwed, schedule wise. And from the looks of it, it looks like all three Texas teams will have it much easier, mostly because all three of them are now within about 200 miles of each other.

I did a quick count this afternoon and the Rampage will have to endure eight of them, while the Aeros and Stars are right behind with seven "three-in-threes" apiece.

Sorry for the digress, but this is a good read from Tony, and I thought our readers would enjoy.
