@katka MLB there's like a bajilion games (162) per team a year, if they had to travel across the US all the time for them, they wouldn't have time for anything but flying. But yeah, NHL regular season keep most games within a geographical area, with some games outside their division, but the schedule is built to avoid too much unnecessary travel (ie: if a team is going to play a game in the northwest, they'll try to group multiple games against teams in that region, etc...)
