The NHL insists on every Western team playing every Eastern team home and away which makes fair scheduling almost impossible with all the Canadian and US tv and building restrictions and team byes. If there's lots of 3 in 4 nights, someone is going to get shafted.
NBA also has this problem but less so because it's all one country.
NFL and MLB have it figured out. Play much more in your division, less outside of it.
