January Could Mean Division

If you’re looking for a month that could decide the Central, January just may be it. Bubba plays thirteen times. 8 of those games are against St. Louis, Chicago and Columbus. Now, granted, that’s not the cakewalk it was last year…except St. Louis, which may be even worse. Three games against legitimate playoff teams: Anaheim, Calgary, Detroit. You could easily expect a 20 point month from Bubba, particularly with a healthy Vokoun.
The Wings? A five-game West Coast swing through LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Denver and Phoenix. Montreal at home, Bubba at home, ‘dique at home. 14 games and asking for 20 points might be greedy.
The 4 games in March against Nashville looked key when the schedule came out. Let’s hope they mean something, because the difference between the two and five seeds may be greater this year than any in recent history. For instance, would you rather see Round 1 start today in Detroit against Minnesota, or tomorrow at 10:30 in San Jose?
