Really??? Thanks to a schedule conflict with Tennis. Blackhawks also have a 9-game road trip courtesy of the circus.

might go down to DC and see the sharks game since they dont play in philthy this year.

They play 17 of 23 on the road in a section of Jan and Feb. Youch! They better rack up the points in the first half when they are home for month of november and december.

I like the LA home and home at the end. Could be the division deciding points there.

Also, the last month or so is a relatively easier schedule. From Feb 21 on, lots of division games but zero games vs. chicago or vancouver and only 1 against detroit. In fact, the sharks are done with vancouver by Jan 21st and chicago by Feb 10th. That could play well for the sharks later in the year when guys are banged up and might need a rest here and there.
