Hi Chris
\w matches [a-zA-Z0-9_] [1]
The dashes there are not understood as dashes per se, but rather specify
a range.
I'd use either:
(r'^(?P<team>\w+)/(?P<game_date>[^/]+)/$', 'myview'),
or:
(r'^(?P<team>\w+)/(?P<game_date>[\w-]+)/$', 'myview'),
or, if you want it more specific:
(r'^(?P<team>\w+)/(?P<game_date>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})/$', 'myview'),
Personally I'd go with the last example in this case.
