I had a quick glance at the upcoming schedule and I don't think I'm overly impressed.

Road Trips
12 X 1 = 12
4 X 2 = 8
3 X 3 = 9
1 X 5 = 5 (Feb. 28-Mar. 8)
1 X 7 = 7 (Dec. 29-Jan.12)
___
41

Home Stands
10 X 1 = 10
10 X 2 = 20
2 X 3 = 6
1 X 5 = 5
____
41

15 back to backs (1 home/6 road/4road-home/4home-road)

9 X 3 games in 4 nights/ 1 X 4games in 5 nights/1 X 4 games in 6 nights

I don't think I like the fact that the Wings have a total of 22 of "one game stands" (10 home and 12 away). This means a lot of plane trips back and forth. Nov is particularly bad with r/2h/r/h/r/h/r/h/2r/2h.

Apparently this year, all teams will get a "bye week". The Wings' bye is from Feb. 22-27. This means they will play 1 game in 9 days. I wonder if the teams are allowed to practice during the "bye" week?? Sure hope so.

Bye week is interesting. Dont recall if anything similar was ever implemented. Wings usually fall off towards the tail end of the year (werent they top 3 in their division prior to falling to a WC spot last year?) so the rest could be good for the older guys to reset
