October 3rd - Mark It Down

We have a schedule! The regular season begins at Carolina October 3rd. Then road games at the Laffs and Pens. Put us down for an 0-3 start. Well maybe we can beat the Leafs, that's about it.

And let's hope a playoff birth is secure before the last 8 games of the season (ha!) 'cause those last games are all division foes.

Other highlights from the sched:

• The Super Bowl weekend double afternoon games are back. There's 2 losses;
• The Xmas holiday Florida road trip is back, too. There's two more losses;
• The Ducks and Kings open the season with 2 games in LONDON (England, not Ontario) on September 29 and 30. Jolly good fun!
• HF33 and I are already negotiating who gets the season tix for the Saturday night Pens tilt January 19th;
• The Habs don't play Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver at all. That just sucks. This stupid unbalanced schedule is just, stupid.

We'll take a closer look at the sched in the coming days, see what sticks out. Right now all I see is 0-7.
