So I actually gave this some more thought. I think having a daily thread even when all the games are full posts rather than comments would be nice in the case of [email protected], so during the playoffs you can see an overview of all of the games. However, it’s still useless in your case. I think the way I’m going to do it is if there is 2 or more games in a day, the daily thread gets made. I am testing the change today and hopefully will push it out before the Leafs game. I think your most recent daily thread will get stuck as featured, so you might need to unfeature it manually.

That seems like a great idea. It will still have niche uses for a single team that way. I.e. split squad preseason game days
That change is now live!
