Huge month for Wings
January 2, 2006
Of the 14 games the Wings play during the month of January:
- 12 are against teams headed for the playoffs. Colorado (on 21 January) is on the bubble–insert laugh track here–but we’ll assume they’ll make it.
- 3 are against Nashville. Currently, Wings have a four point lead with a game in hand.
- 3 are against some of the best from the East: Carolina, Philly and NYR, and occur over a four-day span (10-14 Jan)
- 5 against Nashville (twice), Vancouver, Dallas and Minnesota in the month’s final week.
If the Wings are in first on 1 February, October’s schedule against the league’s jv squads should be long forgotten.
20 points out of a possible 28 would be very nice.
