THREE GAMES ON THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS
I already have a page that shows we played 114 games just one day after another (click here for that stat) BUT did you also know that we played THREE games in THREE days, on FOUR seperate occasions!?!?Back in the early 1900s we played consecutive games on Christmas Day, Boxing and the day after Boxing day in four seasons and really didn't do great, having only one win across the 12 games.
Here's the grim details:
