Nothing like having a set of games against division rivals to show you how mediocre every other division is.
Stars? Every game's a tough one with forwards like Benn, Segs, and Radulov and then add in a new Hitch playing style & a competent goalie? Yikes
Jets! Again, they're loaded up front with talent & tons of weapons and if they're on their game your team is done
Hawks? Haven't even hit their stride yet this season and still have 3-4 future hall of famers. Mortal enemies. Every game is hate fueled
Preds!!! Returning from the Stanley cup finals and happen to be steam rolling everybody right now. No thanks
Wild...meh they have regressed a lot from last season but still no push over
What a time to be a Notes fan. Trying to limp our way into the playoffs against these guys.
Thank god for the Avalanche.
